to finish is amazing. A typical

lunch for me is a BLT chaffle

sandwich. Or sometimes it’s

tuna salad or a Reuben chaffle.

They give you so many deli-

cious options, you just aren’t

tempted to cheat. They’re a

game-changer for so many

keto dieters!” All told, Jen lost

57 pounds and has been main-

taining for three years.

DESSERTS!

For a fast and luscious meal-

ender, drizzle a hot chaffle

with keto chocolate syrup

and add berries, nuts and

keto ice cream.

BURGERS & SANDWICHES!

Whether you’re a fan of tea

sandwiches, hoagies or cheese-

burgers, anything keto that’s tra-

ditionally served on bread works

deliciously between two chaffles.

PIZZA!

Take your pick of keto-friendly

pizza toppings—like mozza-

rella, tomato, basil, pepperoni,

sausage —then pile ’em on a chaf-

fle and bake at 400°F until melted.

processed junk was convenient

and saw her weight steadily

increase over the years. “I tried

every diet under the sun, but

I’d get so hungry and they felt

so restrictive that I didn’t stick

with them,” she recalls. She

was eventually diagnosed with

borderline diabetes and other

health issues, and “by then I

felt lousy and knew I needed

to change.” A friend suggested

keto; Jen began experimenting

with the plan. “I learned all

the healthy fats on keto keep

you full a long time. And you

can make foods that are unbe-

lievably good.” As pounds

melted away, she got involved

with keto Facebook groups.

“Someone posted about chaf-

fles, and we all started mak-

ing them immediately,” shares

Jen, who, like many chaffle

devotees, uses a Dash Mini

Waffle Maker (which sells for

about $10 on Amazon.com).

“The fact that you can whip

up a really tasty bread in just

about 4 minutes from start

serving of chaffles.” He notes

that the lower you can keep

carbs, the fewer cravings you

tend to have. “I also find chaf-

f les to be particularly f illing. So

it’s a way to get fewer carbs and

feel more satisfied. A win-win.”

Jennifer points out

that chaffles are also

richer and more

versatile than

other types of

keto bread.

“Whatever

high-carb food

you happen

to be craving,

Google that plus

‘chaffle,’ and you’ll be

surprised how many options

pop up,” she says. There are

chaffle versions of nachos, lasa-

gna, Big Macs, cheesesteaks,

Oreos, Krispy Kreme donuts

and much more. “Chaffles take

keto to a new level!”

Real-world wow

A s a busy mom, Jennifer

“The results are remarkable,”

Dr. Westman says. Of course,

that’s only true if you’re able

to stick with the approach—

which is why chaffles can have

such a huge impact...

The ‘chaffle’ advantage

“There’s so much sci-

entific evidence that

a keto-style diet

works—dozens

of studies. The

puzzle that needs

to be solved is

how to help people

do it over the long-

term so they’re not

missing things they used

to eat. And a chaffle is a super-

easy tool that helps people stay

on track,” says Dr. Westman,

who has seen chaffle fans shed

up to 250 pounds without

surgery. “I haven’t found any

keto-friendly breads that are

as low in carbs. The best bread

options have 5 grams of carbs

per slice, which is about five

Gr times more than an average
