If youre trying out the Keto diet for the new year, allow me to introduce you to your new BFF:
Bone broth.
If youre a seasoned Keto vet, then you likely already know that bone broth is practically essential to maintaining a 100% keto diet in a healthy way.
Thats because keto bone broth provides a lot of the nutrients and protein that give your body energy (especially when you cant eat any carbs).
But why make bone broth at home when you can just buy it in a store?
Heres a secret 99% of store-bought bone broths suck.
Because real bone broth requires the one ingredient many big companies arent willing to investtimeoften, these companies take shortcuts that pretty much eliminate any health benefits you might have gotten from it in the first place.

Heres how its done:

FTHs Gut-Healing Keto Bone Broth
Equipment Needed: Large stock pot or dutch oven, or a pressure cooker/Instant Pot
Recipe Time: 2-48 hours
Serves: 20-30 (depending on the size of your pot)
Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs beef or chicken bones (see Recipe Notes)
- 4 carrots, roughly chopped
- 4 stalks of celery, roughly chopped
- 2 large yellow onions, peeled and quartered
- 1 head of garlic, cut in half crosswise
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Bay leaves, Black peppercorns, celery seed, clove, coriander seed, or any other aromatics you may want to add (see Recipe Notes)
- Rosemary, parsley or any other herbs you may want to add (see Recipe Notes)
- Salt
Directions:
1) Brown your bones.
Some might argue this step is optional, though if you prefer the dark, rich flavor of a really good bone broth I highly encourage you not to skip it.
In the pot you plan to make the bone broth in, heat the olive oil until shimmering (be careful not to turn the burner too high or else it will smoke).
Season the bones well with salt and pepper, and add them to the pan, separating each piece by about 2 (you may have to do this in batches).
Cook each side until brown and crisp, then flip and repeat with the other side. If youre searing the meat in batches, move the browned pieces to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining pieces.
2) Dump everything else in and simmer away!
When all the meat is seared, add your aromatics, herbs, and the rest of the ingredients and fill your pot with water.
Add a 2-3 very generous pinches of salt, heat the broth until the water begins to bubble on top and then lower the heat as low as possible, cover almost completely (but leave a little room for steam to escape) and let go for at least two hours, and up to 48, stirring occasionally.
When the broth is cooked to your liking, strain, refrigerate, skim off the fat once refrigerated fully and serve!

- Depending on the kind of bone broth you want, you can use a combination of beef, chicken, or even lamb bones. If you like a lighter bone broth, chicken drumsticks and feet are especially rich in collagen and so are ideal for this purpose. For a richer flavor, beef marrow bones, short ribs, or oxtails work great.
- Commonly used aromatics in bone broth include all the ingredients mentioned, but definitely dont skip out on the bay leaf and black peppercorns.
- As far as herbs go, sturdier herbs like rosemary, sage and thyme are great for a low and slow broth like this. Herbs like parsley will work, but they will also cook down to the point of disintegrating after a certain period of time (just something to be aware of).

Heres A Quick Shortcut For Rich, Delicious Bone Broth In Under An Hour
If you have an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker, youre in luck.
You can make bone broth much faster than the traditional method… without resorting to the sketchy kind from the store.
While this particular version of the recipe wont yield quite as many gut-healing benefits (more on that in a bit)… it does come together extremely quickly if youre in a pinch, and just *have* to get your fix.
First, brown the bones in your Instant Pot or pressure cooker as described in the recipe. Then add in everything else, plus water to just under the max fill line.

Heres An Easy Way To Replace The Nutrients Lost From The Cheat Method
I like things to be easy. But sometimes, easy comes with drawbacks.
The drawback to making bone broth the cheat method way in your Instant Pot is that you wont extract 100% of the gut-healing nutrients that you get when you simmer it on the stove for 24+ hours.
Including important ones that help you lose weight faster.
And unfortunately, these nutrients are absolutely ESSENTIAL for a diverse microbiome and good gut health especially if youre doing Keto.
One of these in particular, Lactobacillus fermentum, is associated with increased energy levels a higher metabolism improved digestive health and Ive also read on some Keto forums that it may even help prevent the pesky Keto flu.
(If you aren’t familiar with the “Keto flu” yet… you will be soon after you start the Keto diet. Anything you can do to avoid it is worth it!)
Luckily, there is an easy way to replace the nutrients youd lose in the cheat method and it doesnt require you to babysit your stove for 2 days straight.
Nobody has time for that.
If youre doing keto you might already be doing this, and if youre not, start asap:
Take a probiotic supplement containing Lactobacillus fermentum!
Theres one supplement in particular that I personally LOVE it contains Lactobacillus fermentum, plus 3 other probiotic strains that are associated with supercharged weight loss.
(Kind of a no-brainer if youre doing Keto, right?)
And the best part is, even if you slip up on your diet instead of getting sabotaged, this supplement can help make sure any extra calories you eat get turned into extra energy and fuel your body uses right away and wont ruin all the good work youve already put into achieving your weight loss goals. 🙂
