Welcome to Week Nine of the 7 Day Keto (Low Carb) Menu Plans! If you’re just starting out, you should check out the 3 Day Keto Kickstart and Week One Plan posts where I cover the basics of keto and low carb eating.
I didn’t post a new plan last week due to being swamped with work for the Spring Ezine which is coming soon! If you’re wondering what that’s all about, you can check out my other seasonal ezine issues, as well as my Amazon best selling e-book The Gluten Free Low Carber here.

I need to get back to working on the Spring issue, so I’m going to keep the chit chat to a minimum today! One thing I do want to talk briefly about is exercise. Hopefully by now you’ve lost a good amount of weight, and if you haven’t already, why not add in some exercise to help speed things along? I know it can seem scary or complicated if you haven’t done it in awhile, but it doesn’t have to be!
I recently started this 30 Day Squats Challenge and I’m loving it! My legs are so much stronger already, and can definitely feel a difference in the way my jeans are fitting. It’s a relatively easy way to get started on a simple fitness routine, so why not join us!
Once you get into it, you may find it easier to add in other things like crunches, pushups, and some cardio as well! Then the sky is the limit and we’ll have you turned into a gym rat in no time! Too much? Yeah, me too – let’s just take it one day at a time shall we?
The challenge starts with 50 squats per day and you can break them up into smaller sets throughout the day. Why not start now with just 10? Come on, you can do it!!!!
A bunch of us gab about our results and progress over on the IBIH Facebook page, so head over and hang out with us for support, motivation, recipes and the amazon kindle freebies that I post daily!
Regarding this week’s menu plan, I left dessert optional – skip it and see if that helps your progress, or choose from past favorites if you like.
Also I’ve decided to share one of my favorite soup recipes with you from The Gluten Free Low Carber. Click on the Buffalo Chicken Soup link to get the recipe and photo. I will also include it at the bottom of the printable menu plan.
That’s all for today Peeps! Hope you have a great weekend and I look forward to catching up with you about your results on the plans from the last couple of weeks! XOXO

Prep List
Notes: Depending on your schedule you may find it easier to make everything on the weekend and reheat throughout the week – all of these dishes reheat well in that case. Otherwise you may choose to make some of the dishes on the weekend and others as needed throughout the week – that’s totally up to you.
[fancy_numbers variation=”slategrey”]
- Cook 6 slices of bacon and divide into 3 portions for the week. Freeze the remainder of the package.
- Make two batches of Cream Cheese Pancakes and divide into 4 portions – you’ll use 3 of them this week leaving one to freeze or share
- Make the Ham and Cheese Frittata and cut into 6 portions. You’ll use 5 of them this week leaving one to freeze or share.
- Take all of the meat off of the rotisserie chicken – shred 2 cups for the Buffalo Chicken Soup. Divide the rest of the chicken into 6 oz portions for your meals, you’ll need two of them this week – freeze or share the rest.
- Make the Buffalo Chicken Soup – you will use all of it in the menu plan this week.
- Make the Easy Cheese Cauliflower Gratin – you will use 3 portions this week leaving 3 to freeze or share.
- For best results, I recommend making the Corned Beef and Cabbage Meatballs on Day 3 when you will first eat them for dinner – if you must, you can make them earlier for convenience.
- For best results, I recommend making the General Tso’s Wings and Sriracha Roasted Broccoli on Day 5 when you will first be eating them for dinner – if you must, you can make them eariler for convenience.

Hi Melissa! I love your recipes and how you have everything I need in order to continue my weight loss plan. I am having trouble accessing the buffalo chicken recipe though :(
Mellissa Sevigny says
It’s posted on the blog now – you can find it here!
Laura W says
First off, my husband and I have really enjoyed this keto meal plan you have put together. Thank you! Second, the link for the Buffalo chicken soup isn’t working for me. Any way you can fix that?
Mellissa Sevigny says
All fixed, thanks for letting me know Laura!
missy says
Hi. I have finally talked husband into low carb but wondering if adjustments need to be made for a 310lb 6″1″ man? If he is hungry he will be out. Thanks!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Regardless of size it’s important to stay below 20g net carbs, but he can increase calories certainly. The best way to know how much he should be eating for his size is to use the keto calculator that I link to in the Week One post!
