Although baked potatoes are naturally low in fat and calories, piling on butter, bacon and other high-fat toppings drastically increases your caloric intake. Add seasonings to your baked potato that pack in plenty of flavor, without increasing your fat intake.

Herbs and Spices

Season your baked potatoes with herbs and spices. Fresh chives, thyme and rosemary add flavor without any additional fat. If you buy fresh herbs, keep them in your refrigerator and use them within a few days. You may want to opt for dried herbs, which you can keep in your pantry for long periods without having to worry about spoilage. For additional flavor, top your baked potato with spices like black pepper, paprika and cayenne.

Greek Yogurt

Sour cream adds plenty of flavor to baked potatoes, but with a copious amount of fat and calories. For example, 1 tablespoon of sour cream has nearly 3 grams of fat and 30 calories. If you love the creamy texture of sour cream, put a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt on your baked potato instead. A 1-tablespoon dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt contains 0 grams of fat and fewer than 10 calories. You can also select low-fat versions of Greek yogurt, if you prefer the flavor. Low-fat varieties offer only a few grams of fat per serving.

Bacon Substitutes

Pork bacon is loaded with fat and calories. Instead, flavor your baked potato with lower-fat varieties of bacon. Soy-based bacon provides less than 7 grams of fat per three slices, versus pork bacon which has more than 8 grams of fat for only two slices, reports Mayo Clinic. Bake soy bacon on a cookie sheet until crispy and then chop it up into crumbles. Pile the crumbles onto your baked potato to give you the flavor of bacon, with less fat.

How long does it take to get back into ketosis after a cheat meal?

ruled.me - If I cheat, how long will it take to get back into ketosis? - Ruled Me

It depends.

How long have you been in ketosis for before your cheat meal/day? What did your cheat meal/day consist of? Do you exercise regularly? Did you quickly get into ketosis when you first started keto dieting? Will you be intermittent fasting? Did you drink alcohol or beer?

Your answer to these questions impacts how long it will take you to get back into ketosis. In general, you will probably be back in ketosis within the next 24 to 48 hours if one or more of the following applies to you: You were in ketosis for around a month or longer before cheating on the diet. You are doing an extended intermittent fast (>16 hours) beginning after your last cheat meal.

You exercised on the day of and/or after your cheat day.

You got into ketosis quickly when you first started the keto diet.

You didn’t go too far over your carb limit with your cheat meal. On the other hand, if you haven’t even had a chance to adapt to keto yet, you are sedentary, you had multiple cheat meals, and/or your body struggled to adjust to keto dieting at first, then it may take you longer than two days to get back into ketosis. Keep in mind that these estimates are based on theory and should be used as a framework to understand what factors matter when it comes to getting into ketosis as quickly as possible after a cheat meal/day. Overall, you can get back into ketosis as soon as 12-16 hours after your last cheat meal (with the help of fasting and exercise) or it can take as long as it did when you first started keto.
