This idea was born from an email from a customer (thank you, Nidza), which went something like this…
‘Well I normally fix meals to last me at most four serving or days. I'd plan to have a fat bomb every day.
That's 365 days divided by a recipe that makes at least a weeks’ worth, so
52 recipes
?
That's ideal.
Are there 52 fat bomb recipes anywhere?
Perfection in my mind would be a
seasonally adjusted book
where you would split the recipes into
four seasons.
To allow for not always
sweet
but
savory recipes
utilizing available produce and lots of fat. How's that
for a crazy idea?
’
And with this ‘crazy idea’ in mind, I went about to create a range of fat bombs across the seasons. There is a good mixture of sweet and savory, along with some very special holiday themed fat bombs.
This book was perhaps my most challenging and creative yet. So I hope you enjoy these fat bombs and they help you to stay keto by adding a bit of variety and delight to your diet.
As with most things.. everything in moderation. Yes, they are ketogenic, however I would not recommend getting all your daily calories from them. I suggest using them as a treat, perhaps one a day as Nidza has suggested.

Overview Of The Ketogenic Diet
I assume you know a bit, or maybe a lot about the Ketogenic Diet at this point, but just in case, let’s have a quick overview of what the Ketogenic Diet is before diving into the recipes.
Our body’s metabolism has evolved much less quickly than modern technology. In the past, we had to hunt for our meals and we would often go without food for days or weeks at a time. So our bodies stored as much of its energy reserves as possible for when it was needed. The body became extremely efficient at taking any excess energy (from food) and storing it for later (as fat). When food became scarce, the body would switch from using food as its primary source of energy to the fat reserves.
However, in modern life, food is far more plentiful, but excess energy is still be stored as fat. Modern life has exacerbated this by producing foods rich in carbohydrates (which are utilized more quickly by the body) and lowering the need for physical activity. As a result, excess energy (more calories consumed than expended) is more abundant and consequently more energy is stored (usually as fat).
The concept of the ketogenic diet is that it takes advantage of your body’s natural system that uses fat for fuel. By switching to a low carbohydrate diet, your body adapts and becomes unable to utilize the readily available source of carbohydrate that was once available to it. Instead, it begins to use both existing and new stores of fat as its energy source. This is known as a state of ketosis.
When we are on a diet containing sufficient amounts of carbohydrate, these are broken down into glucose which is used for energy. However, when carbs are restricted, our liver starts to produce ketones (also known as ketone bodies). These are transported from the liver to other tissues where they can be reconverted by enzymes in the body to produce energy.
That is the theory behind the diet, and in practice it breaks down into the below macronutrients:
- Carbs - 20 - 50 grams per day
- Try 30 grams to begin with and see how you feel and are progressing (see measuring results below).
- Protein – 1.5 – 2.6 grams per pound (0.7 – 1.2 grams per kg) of body weight
- If your level of physical activity is high, go for the higher end as it will help to retain/ build muscle.
- Fat – remaining calories from (healthy) fats.
The above is an overview, but if you would like to know more about the diet in detail, then I have a complete guide to the diet along with how to make it
sustainable in the long term
- to the point where you no longer have to
count calories
.
You’ll learn everything you need to know. Including:
- How to lose that stubborn belly fat.
- How to tailor the diet to yourself (not changing your lifestyle for the sake of a diet).
- Why you’ll never need to count calories again (no more food label reading).
All with 100 delicious and easy recipes to get you started.
