This low carb Keto friendly egg salad recipe is perfect for a light lunch or a quick snack.

2018 is finally upon us and how many of us have made that resolution to lose weight and get in shape? I know, I know, it's so cliche but it's true. A new year always marks a fresh start to whatever you want to achieve. Last year, I dabbled in low carb. I had heard about it through friends and brushed it off thinking it was like Atkins. I tried Atkins several years ago after having a baby. My mother and father in law lost a ton of weight on Atkins and kept it off. Sadly, I lasted about a day.

I love carbs. Breakfast is usually a bowl of cereal. Snack is crackers of some kind. Lunch is a grilled cheese on my favorite organic white bread. Dinner would consist of white rice with a side of meatballs. After dinner snack? Yes, please! Give me whatever I can find lurking in the snack cupboard. For a single person that's a lot of carbs every day.

My husband and I decided to try out Keto along with me after I explained the basics to him. He loves carbs just as much as I do. The first few days on Keto were tough. I craved carbs here and there but after a few days my cravings died down and then something magical happened: your body goes into Ketosis and it begins to burn fat and by not eating carbs all day long, I didn't feel hungry. In fact, I actually felt like I had more energy.

Lately I've been trying out new foods while avoiding the carbs. I've always loved egg salad but I've always eaten it on crusty toasted white bread. I swapped out the bread for lettuce, added some radish slices to the eggs for crunch and BAM! You have low carb Keto friendly egg salad!
