Luckily for the keto army, these healthy lifestyle consultants don't advocate going without. The key to low-carb diet plans is fulfilling your cravings with the fatty foods that Keto behests you to eat.

Here are some tried side dishes that'll put you in a food coma with no carbs necessary:

The Cheesy Creamy Green Bean Casserole (Crispy Onions Optional)

Looking at this dish, you could hardly tell it was weight loss coach-approved, but when food is this good, there's no time for questions.

Combine some green beans, mushrooms, diced onion, garlic, oil, and salt and pepper in a slow cooker, and set the timer for two and a half hours. While it cooks, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and work on the optional onion topping.  

Mix sliced onion with buttermilk, so they're properly coated; after draining out the excess liquid, coat them with salted almond flour and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. After a generous coating of baking spray, bake them until they're golden, then leave them on a counter to cool.

Mix a tiny bit of cornstarch, sherry, and sour cream to make the sauce and stir until smooth. Then once your veggies are cooked, set it all in a casserole dish sprinkled with thyme, and pop it into the oven for twenty minutes. Serve it with a crispy onion topping.

Simply Roasted Garlic-Parm Carrots

This one is as easy as it is addictive.

Marinade carrots overnight in garlic butter with a decent amount of chopped garlic in the mix. Then all you have to do on the day of is put them in the oven and sprinkle them with as much parmesan as you like. To add some tartness, drizzle a balsamic vinegar reduction on top.

Spicy Sesame Sugar Snaps

They look innocent, but the fact is, you better cook enough of these for everyone to keep the peace at the table.

Fry the peas lightly in a skillet, and once you see the smoky char on all sides, add some chopped scallions. After a minute, add tamari, chili flakes, garlic, and soy sauce, and then keep cooking until they're glazed. Serve them hot, with sesame seeds on top.
