New Major Study on Low Carb Implications

New Major Study on Low Carb Implications

Obesity is a rising problem that is increasing on a yearly basis all over the world. It commonly increases a person's risk for higher cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and many other health problems. Just a few days ago, we saw a year long study published in a peer-reviewed journal that was done comparing the differences between low-carbohydrate diets vs. low-fat diets. Although there's already plenty of studies that have been done on low-carbohydrate diets, I thought this one cemented the ...

Keto Au Gratin Brussels Sprouts

Keto Au Gratin Brussels Sprouts

It's that time of week where most of us are looking through the fridge thinking "Why didn't I go to the store yesterday?" You're wondering what's for dinner, and you only have a few ingredients to work with. Well, no big deal - as long as you have a little bit of protein to go on the side, you'll be set with this! Brussels sprouts are a great way to get some texture into your dish for a vegetable, but you could easily do this with broccoli or cauliflower. You'll have a nice crisp crust to ...

Keto Tropical Smoothie

Keto Tropical Smoothie

Come along and savor the last few days of summer that are left with me! Sit back, relax, and pour yourself a fruity and refreshing smoothie. Here's a great way to get all the delicious fruity flavors you crave into a keto-fied treat, that will leave you wanting more -- and not feeling guilty if you indulge in more than one! Shakes and smoothies are something that most of us are missing out on when it comes to keto. We're not allowed all of the super colorful fruits and flavors that go in, but ...

Peanut Butter Caramel Milkshake

Peanut Butter Caramel Milkshake

If you're a sane person, then peanut butter is probably one of your guilty pleasures - I know it's one of mine. But, when we're on a ketogenic diet, we can't always grab it by the spoonful to lick it off as a snack because of the carb count. Every once in a while, though, I get a huge craving for peanut butter and have to make something that'll combat it. So, since I've been on a smoothie/milkshake stint lately, I decided to put together something I know you'd all love. You can also sub out ...

Blueberry Banana Bread Smoothie

Blueberry Banana Bread Smoothie

Before you say it, I know what you're thinking: "But Craig, bananas are definitely not allowed on a ketogenic diet!" Don't worry guys, we're using banana flavored extract to impart some flavor into our smoothie - no real bananas needed! This one does thicken up slightly more than the others because of the addition of flax and chia seeds, but I think it gives a great hearty mouthfeel that is perfect for breakfast replacements. I've been on a little bit of a smoothie binge lately, so if you'd ...

McKeto Strawberry Milkshake

McKeto Strawberry Milkshake

Growing up as a kid, I had my fair share of fast food takeout. Some of them I still miss to this day and try to recreate (a lot of the time in failure, but don't tell anyone). One of them that I was thinking about lately? McDonald's Strawberry Milkshake. Their disgustingly sweet syrup mixed into ice cream and served up to me in the nostalgic paper cup. Not the most beautiful thing to remember from my childhood, but it certainly holds something dear in my heart. Well, I think I've done it ...

Cucumber Spinach Smoothie

Cucumber Spinach Smoothie

I've had a lot of people e-mail me and ask me about juicing (which is a no-no). When they make the switch to a ketogenic diet, they're missing the shakes and smoothies that they used to make themselves in the morning. With that in mind, we're bringing together the delicious flavors of spinach and cucumber into an awesome shake today. A surprisingly sweet treat that'll do right by anyone that misses their morning green shake. Packed full of micronutrients and fats, you'd never know that spinach ...

Blackberry Chocolate Shake

Blackberry Chocolate Shake

You know those chocolate covered berries you find in those specialty candy stores, or the ones that they serve up to you when you go out for a romantic date at a fondue joint? This is a smoothie that will bring memories back to you with a cooling and refreshing vibe running through it. We all need a break from the ordinary, piping hot ketoproof coffee every once in a while (especially with the weather lately in Florida). Instead of getting your MCT Oil in Ketoproof Coffee, why not change it ...

Cinnamon Roll Pudding Pops

Cinnamon Roll Pudding Pops

I've been frequenting foodgawker more and more and realized that there's so many popsicle recipes coming out. So many delicious looking popsicles...that I had to make my own. I grabbed the NoPro Popsicle Mold off of Amazon (nothing beats those awesome old fashioned wooden sticks) and waited my 2 days on Amazon Prime. When it arrived, I had already made my Cinnamon Roll "Oatmeal" recipe so I said why not? Let's see what happens and hopefully it'll be good. Good? No, it was amazing! ...

Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”

Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”

So the last few days I've really been craving oatmeal. I keep seeing oatmeal bars, cookies, porridge and the like on Pinterest and Facebook - and I wanted to join in on the fun...but not have any of the carbs to go along with it. The second I put this in my mouth and started to chew, the texture wasn't exactly the same as oatmeal - but the taste was pretty darn close! The mouth feel is very similar, and really nice while you're chewing. The aftertaste even makes me think back to the days ...
