Eggplant Lasagna

By Jessica Swartz February 20, 2024 15 mins read 26 Views

I wanted to make something more than spaghetti when I defrosted the spaghetti sauce I had for tonight. Yesterday I bought an eggplant, and I decided to combine it with one of my favorite Italian dishes. It's always delicious. If you have the time, this dish can be Induction-friendly.
Eggplant Lasagna
This dish has enough salt without adding any salt. If you would like to have leftovers that can be frozen, I recommend doubling this recipe. This recipe will not work until Atkins phase 2 OWL. This recipe is Paleo-friendly if you occasionally eat dairy. It's not suitable for Primal due to the cheese.

INGREDIENTS:

10 oz. eggplant

1 T. olive oil

Low-carb meat spaghetti sauce (I make my own, see recipe).

4 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated

4 T. Parmesan cheese

1/3 c. ricotta cheese

Fresh basil leaves (or 14 tsp. dried)

PREHEAT the oven to 400o. Slice the eggplant into 1/4" thick slices. Place each slice of eggplant on the sheet pan, and oil both sides. Turn eggplant once and bake until it is almost done. This takes about 8-10 minutes per side. Reduce heat to 350o and remove from oven. In a baking dish that has been well oiled, layer half of the eggplant slices. Over the top, spoon half of the spaghetti sauce. Spread evenly all the ricotta on top. Sprinkle on the half of the mozzarella, followed by 2 T. Parmesan. Next, spread the chopped basil. Place the remaining eggplant slices on top. Reserve one slice for the top. Add the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and then sprinkle the Parmesan on top. Place the final slice of eggplant in the center dish. Bake at 350o for 30 minutes or until bubbly and hot. If desired, garnish with colorful basil leaves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does lazy keto take to lose weight?

It can be difficult for people to figure out how long it takes to lose weight with the lazy keto plan. There are many factors that can influence the effectiveness of the diet, and they won't work for everyone. It is dependent on each person's goals, lifestyle, and ability to adhere to this type of diet.

Research suggests that you may see a steady decrease in your body weight after two weeks. But, there are factors like body composition and caloric intake that can make it difficult to achieve your fat loss goals. Therefore, it is important to be consistent and monitor your progress for a long time.

It doesn't matter if you don’t exercise regularly. Many people who follow the program can see at least some weight loss in the first few months, even if they aren't doing any physical activity. You can see visible results as soon as seven days after you start exercising and eating healthy.

For any lifestyle change, including starting a fitness program or eating healthier, consistency is essential. It takes dedication, knowledge, hard work and perseverance to see results with programs such as lazy keto.

Is the first week in keto the hardest?

It can be overwhelming to prepare for your first week on the keto diet. This diet requires major lifestyle changes that push most people outside of their comfort zones. It can seem daunting to think that you will be saying goodbye your favorite high-carb foods.

But don't fear! It's possible to make this the most rewarding week of your life by getting the right information and support. You can survive and thrive on the ketogenic diet if you put in the effort.

You need to be patient as it takes some time to adjust to a new diet. You may feel groggy as you adjust to this lower-carb lifestyle - but don't give up! Eating healthy fats and low-sugar vegetables will help replenish necessary energy stores while keeping portion sizes in check.

It is also important to understand that it will not be permanent. Your body will adjust and cravings for high-sugar carbohydrates will diminish. You will feel fuller all day.

Emphasizing mental fortitude and taking tangible steps before jumping into ketosis can make all the difference in ensuring that the extremely daunting task doesn't seem so impossible after all!

What happens to your body after you cheat on keto

Cheating on the keto diet can cause unwanted side effects associated with carbohydrate intake. Starchy carbs can cause your blood sugar levels to rapidly rise if you suddenly eat them. This can cause dehydration as water is required to restore your cells to a homeostatic condition. The dehydration also results in an electrolyte imbalance due to the lack of essential minerals like sodium and potassium.

These issues are not the only ones. It is common for people who "cheat" on keto to experience digestive discomfort like constipation and diarrhea as a result of their high-carb diet. Although they are usually temporary, these symptoms can be both uncomfortable and disruptive. Cheat meals can also lead to intense cravings that cause people to feel deprived and then binge on high-carb food, which can be dangerous for those who are following the keto diet.

Overall, it's important to keep in mind that having an occasional cheat meal or snack won't destroy weeks or months' worth of progress on the keto diet -- as long as you stick within your prescribed net carb limits -- but there will still be consequences for veering away from your meal plan for extended periods.

Proteins should account for around 10–30% of energy needs, while carbs are usually restricted to 5%. (healthline.com)

But, a 1-ounce slice of cheese delivers about 30% of the Daily Value for saturated fat, so if you're worried about heart disease, consider portion size when eating cheese. (eatingwell.com)
Carbohydrates are the body's preferred source of energy, but on a strict ketogenic diet, less than 5% of energy intake is from carbohydrates (learn more in our beginner's guide for the ketogenic diet). (eatingwell.com)
