More Dieter-Friendly Foods

Dieter-friendly foods typically share characteristics such as low calories, high fiber, and essential nutrients that support overall health while aiding weight management. I recently blogged about celery, which I call a "dieter's friend". Here are several other foods that can be classified as dieter-friendly, along with the reasons why they are effective for those looking to maintain or lose weight: Leafy Greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard) High in fiber and very low in calories, leafy greens can be added to meals in large quantities without significantly increasing calorie intake. They're also rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) Berries are low in calories but high in fiber and nutrients. They also contain natural sugars, which can satisfy sweet cravings without the calorie load of refined sugars. Berries are also permitted on many low-carb diets. Just be careful not to eat too many.

Recipe for Keto Cowboy Cookies - with a twist


Keto Cowboy Cookies


Preheat oven to 350 F
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (original recipe called for shredded coconut, which I don't normally buy)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips (I can't find sugar free chocolate chips where I live, so I chop up keto chocolate bars)
  • 4 tablespoons mixed seeds (I used a blend of seeds that I keep on hand: chia, hemp & others)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free syrup

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans or walnuts, dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

In another bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and granulated erythritol (or your chosen keto-friendly sweetener) until it becomes creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Gradually add the sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey substitute while continuing to mix.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a cookie dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Drop by tablespoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet. I got about 1 dozen cookies.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
