Welcome! I’m Hilda Solares, the creator of Fit To Serve Group.
I’m a blogger, food photographer, and published cookbook author who is passionate about sharing my knowledge to help others understand how Christian principles and healthy eating habits can be combined to improve overall health and wellness.
My expertise is in the fields of education and theology, and I have a BA from the Latin University of Theology.
FIT TO SERVE GROUP
Fit To Serve Group is a low-carb, keto food blog dedicated to creating easy, delicious recipes that are free, printable, and include nutrition facts.
All the recipes are low in carbs, sugar-free, gluten-free, and diabetic-friendly, with the intent to help as many people as possible.
Whether you are monitoring your carbs or want to eat healthier, my aim is to make the ketogenic diet a delicious breeze by sharing high-quality recipes and lifestyle tips with the goal of being fit to serve.
We have a keto recipe app, Fit To Serve Group, that is available on iOS and Android. It’s where we share our recipes on an ad-free platform.
That said, this website is not intended to solve health issues but to inspire and encourage you to create wholesome recipes.
Our Keto Transformation
We believe it didn’t happen in vain. What was meant to destroy us is now being used to inspire. The health challenges we faced as a couple have given us a platform that today shares hope.
The lessons we learned when we combined our Christian faith with a keto diet not only changed our lives, but they’re encouraging others to do the same.
We do so by combining the truth found in God’s word with a ketogenic lifestyle.
If the goal is to walk in divine health, declaring God’s word is not enough. In order to see a true transformation, we must be willing to back up our confession of truth with real change.
We can’t expect to live in optimal health and not do the challenging work of making a healthy diet a lifestyle.
The blog has given me a platform where I can share my low-carb keto recipes and lifestyle tips. Although I started creating these recipes as a necessity for my husband Randy and me to stay compliant, today, recipe development has become a passion.
It brings me great joy to hear that my articles or recipes have helped people adhere to the keto diet.
My Keto Journey To Transformation
Without making any medical claims, I want to share with you my personal journey to wellness.
As a survivor of Guillain-Barré syndrome, fibromyalgia, and chronic sciatica, I now live my life very intentionally.
At my worst, I relied on a walker and strong pain medications to barely function. Hope stepped in when my health was bleakest, and God led me to a ketogenic lifestyle while I was in a season of extended fasting.
It took me almost eight years to understand how being in a state of ketosis would be an important key to regaining my health.
Once I understood the transformative power of ketones in our bodies, I combined it with my Christian faith, and my body began to heal. Out of a place of pain, FITTOSERVE GROUP was born to help bring hope and inspiration to others.
Although I still struggle with some of the consequences, I am in a much better place, and with each passing day, I see my body getting stronger.
What started as a small gathering of women at our home has grown into a beautiful ministry where we have the honor of sharing what we’ve learned with the community.
It was those first ladies who encouraged me to share my recipes and lifestyle tips, and that’s why today you can enjoy this Christian Keto blog.
Had it not been for their insistence, I would never have taken the leap of faith to start this blog.
Randy’s Keto Transformation
Without a doubt, my husband Randy’s keto transformation has been nothing short of a miracle. He was able to lose over 80 pounds and no longer suffers from type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or fatty liver disease.
At his worst, he was on nine different medications, trying to manage these diseases.
Randy would tell you that his moment of revelation came while he was quoting scriptures of healing, and making no dietary changes to back up his confession.
It wasn’t until he was convicted by the Holy Spirit to put action to his Bible-quoting that his health finally began to transform.
Randy had nothing to lose and everything to gain when he chose to combine his faith and get rid of the sugar, gluten, and high-carb foods in his diet.
It was this combination that set him free from the weight and food issues he struggled with most of his adult life.
Today, our transformation has encouraged thousands to do the same. It has been a humbling honor to assist people on their journey to being whole in spirit, mind, and body.
Our decision in January 2014 to offer the keto lifestyle as a fast unto the Lord has had a ripple effect that continues to grow today.
That one act of obedience was the catalyst for our change.
Our private Fittoserve Facebook Group is made available for free to anyone who wants to combine keto with their Christian faith.
You can also follow us on our Facebook Page as well as the beautiful and engaging Instagram community.
In ways we never could have imagined, God has allowed us to minister to people all around the world using our Christian keto blog.
On any given day, we are connecting with people who reach out to us from the blog via email for guidance.
Why We Combine Keto With Our Christian Faith
We make no apologies for our Christian faith because it takes center stage in our lives. Without Christ, Randy and I would not be who we are today, and our marriage, which has lasted over 37 years, would not have survived.
We can’t separate our faith from what we do or who we are.
People are choosing to come to us not only for the keto lifestyle advice we give but also to put their faith in Christ as their eternal hope. We may never know how many lives have been ministered to because of the decision to be bold with our faith.
The Need For Change
Sadly, for the most part, the body of Christ has not taken seriously the responsibility of taking care of the physical body. The deception in this area has been so great that many Christians have either given up trying or feel it’s unnecessary.
I believe that the enemy of our souls has used this attitude as a breach to attack the health and well-being of what should be a people walking in divine health.
Can I tell you that you will never be able to serve God to the fullest if your body is not functioning optimally? It is impossible to do all He created you to do with such hindrances.
Why does it surprise us that we need to do a better job of taking care of our bodies? Isn’t it the very place that God has chosen to deposit his Holy Spirit when we choose to make him our Lord and Savior? Does He not call us His temple?
Isn’t it time the church rose up and took what rightfully belongs to her, divine health?
The world should be storming the doors of our churches to find all the answers. This includes learning how to take care of our physical well-being.
Why So Passionate About Keto And Jesus?
My passion comes from having been deceived by the enemy in this area. For years, I focused on my spiritual health while ignoring my physical well-being. I had no clue that my dietary choices were the root cause of my poor health.
It’s why, when my body finally fell apart, I was utterly blindsided by the attack and, therefore, ill-prepared to fight the necessary battle.
I was at death’s door and didn’t realize how I ended up in this scenario. I blamed the devil for it all and was oblivious to my role.
It’s my hope that you avoid the need to rebuild your temple because your body ultimately gives up. Instead, you should heed the warning before it becomes much more of a challenge.
Trust me when I tell you that it is much easier to maintain than to rebuild.
Please don’t make the same mistakes I made.
Lack Of Knowledge Is Destroying Many
Why are so many people suffering from poor health? Because, like us, we couldn’t find a sustainable solution that worked.
With so many conflicting voices in the health community, it can be difficult to tune in to what our bodies are trying to tell us or to listen properly to the Holy Spirit’s promptings.
If you are looking for sustainable change, eliminate processed junk and eat as closely as possible to what God intended.
But the question is: how? We believe that combining the keto diet with the Christian faith has the potential to unlock the keys to finally being whole in spirit, mind, and body. Why? We learned this firsthand.
My people perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). This verse has served as a mandate, and it’s what propels us to share what we have learned.
Randy and I are passionate about sharing what we’ve learned because we’ve lived through the devastating consequences that come when we live in a chronic state of illness.
Understand that the long-term effects of our poor choices do not just affect the person ignoring the cues. The truth is, it can impact the lives of all who are connected to you.
For this and so many other reasons, Randy and I endeavor to clarify the issue of complete wellness using our personal stories of transformation.
It’s our hope that it will inspire others to live their very best life and avoid the pitfalls we encountered.
Blog Contributor and Daughter Michelle Gonzalez
Hey, I’m Michelle Gonzalez! I love food, hair, makeup, and pretty much anything creative. Growing up, I never knew what I wanted to do when I was older. Some people might see that as a bad thing, but I love it.
I have learned and mainly taught myself how to do many things. I can run a box office, manage your social media, dye your hair five different colors, and revamp your furniture. Or, you know, help run the backend of the blog.
As you can see, I’m a lot like my mom. I like to wear many hats, although mine would probably be one of those goofy hats that are 2 feet tall.
I believe you should have fun with everything you do, even getting down to business. This delicate balance often leaves the house covered in food coloring splatter or glitter that just keeps showing up in the most random places.
In closing,
I want to thank you for visiting our blog. I hope and pray that you find value in the recipes and lifestyle tips I share.
Please feel free to reach out to me with your questions and suggestions. We are here to encourage and support you in any way we can.
