While you’re not actually sick, you can feel low-energy, trouble sleeping, upset stomach, or headaches when experiencing the Keto flu. When you start a Ketogenic diet, you are removing a lot of processed foods from your life. Those processed foods are usually high in sodium, and your normal sodium intake drops quickly on a Keto diet, resulting in the aforementioned symptoms. That’s why this cheddar bacon mug bread recipe is the best keto bread recipe for anyone with the infamous headache that can occur 1-2 weeks into your new diet. For an even quicker fix, a glass of water with a teaspoon of salt stirred in can help reduce symptoms asap. ### Not All Fats Are The Same Surely you were won over by the Keto diet when you learned you could still eat meats and fats. In fact, it’s encouraged! Since you are cutting processed foods out of your diet, you’re unlikely to come across much trans fat. However, knowing the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats is still important, even when most of your diet consists of fat. Unsaturated fats are considered “healthy fat”, and consists of avocados, nuts, and fish. Saturated fats are considered okay in moderation, and you’ll find them in your animal and dairy products. A sprinkle of bacon bits in your mug bread is still healthy, but make sure your protein doesn’t outweigh your fats over the course of a day.

How to make Low Carb Cheddar Bacon Mug Bread Snack

Cook the bacon to a crisp. When done, cool and wipe away excess grease. Then, cut into bacon bits. Arrange the bacon bits alongside shredded cheddar cheese and diced green onion.
In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, the egg white, and a pinch of salt. Melt the butter and mix this into the batter as well. Fold the bacon, cheese, and green onion into the bread batter.
Give the inside of a coffee mug a single spritz of pan spray. Transfer the batter into your mug and even out the top with a spatula. Top the batter off with the final amount of cheddar. Microwave the mug for 120 seconds, or 2 minutes. Slide the bread out of the mug and slice in half to cool quickly before eating.
