Chiquis Rivera found herself stuck in the same cycle that traps many dieters. She would start a new eating plan, follow the rules for weeks or months, then abandon it when the restrictions became unbearable. The New York Times bestselling author and NBC Universo star refused to accept that getting fit meant giving up the Mexican foods she loved. Rivera partnered with her personal trainer Sarah Koudouzian to develop Chi-Keto, a ketogenic approach that preserves the flavors of Latino cuisine. The program limits carbs to fifty grams daily while emphasizing quality fats and moderate protein. Rivera transforms classic dishes like huevos rancheros and chicken tacos into grain-free versions that maintain their authentic taste. The book provides a 21-day starter program with over sixty recipes covering every meal, plus keto-friendly cocktails. Koudouzian contributes weekly fitness routines designed to complement the eating plan. This cookbook offers a practical solution for anyone who wants to lose weight without abandoning their cultural food traditions.
