Is keto all about eggs, bacon and cheese? Not at all! Saturated fats, monounsaturated fats (MUFA) and omega-3 fatty acids - all should be part of every healthy low-carb diet. Typically, people who follow the ketogenic diet tend to get plenty of saturated fats and not enough heart-healthy MUFA and omega 3s.

I see so many people who only focus on their macros and I cannot emphasise this enough: When it comes to the ketogenic diet, micronutrient density and food quality matter, more than keeping your carbs ultra low.

Foods like extra virgin olive oil, fatty fish and non-starchy vegetables - which are abundant in the Mediterranean diet - are beneficial and play an important role in weight loss and overall wellbeing.

This week I had the opportunity to review a great book by Robert Santos-Prowse, The Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet. Robert is a clinical dietitian-nutritionist who writes about nutrition science and food politics and why both of them matter in our everyday lives.

His book emphasises the importance of healthy fats and combines two diets: the ketogenic diet and the Mediterranean diet - the dietary approach I personally tend to follow on most days.

The ketogenic diet is explained in simple terms, all backed up by research and without unnecessary pseudo-science. The book also offers a few simple and easy to follow recipes, one of which I'm sharing with you today!

Crustless Keto Mini Quiches

These crustless mini quiches are so quick and easy to prepare. Eat warm straight from the oven and then store the rest in the fridge and you've got breakfast covered for several days.

They take less than 30 minutes to prepare and are the perfect on-the-go meal. I like my veggies so I doubled the amount of broccoli!

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

I love these mini quiches and adapt the recipe without brocoli but include courgette and mushrooms with bacon. Yum yum.

Thank you Jackie, I'm glad you enjoyed!

I just found out last Friday,  that I am suffering from thyroid and fibromyalgia.
I took a 20 minutes break from my work now, because I am feeling so tired with pain all over my body.
If it wasn't for my daughter, I would end up with my life today,  on my way back home via subway just jump in front of a train,
End of.
I hope to get help from your recipes if you don't mind?
Take care. X

Hello Marybeth, I'm sorry to hear that, it must be very difficult to deal with constant pain. I hope that keto helps you feel better - it did work for me and I've been using this approach for over 8 years alongside my thyroid medication. Please make sure to join our community on Facebook (www.facebook.com/groups/Ketodietplan) and if you ever feel like that, we are there for you. Feel free to tag me in the posts!

You include ingredient weights. Do all the recipes in Robert’s Mediterranean cookbook include weights too?

No, I'm afraid they do not. Some ingredients are listed in ounces (e.g. 4 ounces of salmon) but some are only listed in cups (e.g. 1/4 cup peanut butter).

I have been waiting for this cookbook! We love everything veggie, and combining keto with Mediterranean is super ingenious! My husband and I are in our 70's and going strong!

This looks delicious! I can't wait to try it for the Pre-holiday Keto Challenge! Thanks!

I just wanted to let you know; I made this recipe for my son and me this morning. It was delicious!! He's been eating the leftovers all day. Thank you for sharing!

I've been loving cacao butter lately!

Today I started eating a Keto based menu. I have been reading up on Keto the last three weeks. I downloaded the Keto diet app an hour ago and am so glad I did. Great information and recipes. I know good things are about to come into my life by eating this way. Plus I love Mediterranean food.

The recipie is good . Something difftent to eat. I looking forwards to look inside the book.I love mediterian kitchen .

old school - but I like my butter

Avacado & Coconut Oil

For my fats, I eat fatty meats, avocados, avocado/olive/coconut oils, butter, and heavy whipping cream.

My favourite keto sources of healthy fats are avocados, nuts, and cream cheese sprinkled with "chai sugar".

Quiches are usually very easy to make, they can go with a full meal or just eaten as snack throughout the day. Love them!

I love coconut oil

I love advocado as a fat bomb, but I will try next weekend to make ghee. I need to buy the cheese mat first. Could become a favourite too.  

My favourites are:
Avocado
Avocado oil
Salmon

I mostly use coconut oil and kerrygold Butter. love them

My favorite healthy fats are Avocado oil, Kerrygold butter and coconut oil.

Avocados and blueberries.

Just getting into ghee and I love coconut oil.

Love the recipe! I eat nuts for healthy fats
