The Keto and Collagen Guide: Everything You Need to Know About This Essential Protein

The Keto and Collagen Guide: Everything You Need to Know About This Essential Protein

Although collagen is a protein, it does not have the same properties as other more commonly known proteins (e.g., whey, casein, meat, and fish). In fact, because of collagen's unique amino acid composition, it provides us with many benefits that we can see and feel. The positive effects of collagen even extend beyond what we can get from consuming fish, meat, whey, and casein proteins. Collagen is helpful in so many ways, especially on the keto diet. You can think of keto and collagen as a ...

How Much Fat Should You Eat on a Ketogenic Diet?

How Much Fat Should You Eat on a Ketogenic Diet?

Fat is a key component of the ketogenic diet. In fact, how much fat on keto in your diet will determine whether you achieve your goals or struggle to get the scale moving. For example, If you eat too much fat, then your weight loss progress will stall, and you may even start to gain more body fat. On the other hand, If you don't eat enough, then you will lose weight at an unhealthy pace while fighting off hunger pangs and fatigue. To find the Goldilocks amount of fat you must eat to meet ...

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

One of the most satiating diets is the keto diet. Keto-friendly foods are typically so filling that keto dieters end up eating fewer calories — and, in many cases, fewer meals — throughout the day. This allows them to lose weight sustainably. However, just because you are following keto doesn’t mean that you are immune to hunger and afternoon energy crashes. If you’re not prepared, and the convenience of processed, carb-dense snacks beckons you, you may very well find yourself with a mouthful ...

Can I juice on keto?

I wouldn't recommend juicing or drinking juice while you are on the keto diet. Although it is possible to make a healthy juice that is low in net carbs, juicing is unnecessary to improve your health. The best way to get the healing benefits of plants is by incorporating them into your keto meals or keto smoothies, not by juicing. Juicing takes all of the fiber and some of the nutrients out of the fruit or vegetable, robbing you of many of its health benefits. Instead of juicing, opt for ...

Complete Guide to Exercise on the Ketogenic Diet

Exercise more, and you'll have better health. Follow the ketogenic diet, and you'll lose weight rapidly and take your health to the next level. But what happens when you combine the two? Although it's reasonable to assume that combining exercise with keto would take your health and weight loss to the next level, the truth behind it is a bit more complicated than that. When we restrict carbs, we cause a plethora of changes throughout the body — some of which affect exercise ...

Complete Guide to Keto Friendly Beverages & Energy Drinks

Complete Guide to Keto Friendly Beverages & Energy Drinks

Drinks tend to be the sneakiest sources of calories and sugar in our diets.  Fruit juices (including freshly pressed juice), sodas, and even your favorite specialty coffee drink are all filled with so much sugar that they increase your likelihood of gaining fat while making it difficult for your body to get into ketosis. With all of the confusing marketing terms like "low-carb," "low-sugar," "natural," etc. it is hard to tell what drinks are actually keto-friendly and what drinks are just ...

Comprehensive Guide To The Vegetarian Ketogenic Diet

Comprehensive Guide To The Vegetarian Ketogenic Diet

The vegetarian diet is commonly regarded as one of the healthiest diets for humanity. Many studies have found that vegetarian diets are associated with a lower rate of heart disease and diabetes and may improve health more than the average non-vegetarian diet. However, this doesn’t mean that the vegetarian diet or the vegetarian keto diet is the best diet for everyone’s health. The ketogenic diet, for example, has been found to be more effective than the vegetarian diet for weight loss, ...

A Comprehensive Guide To The Vegan Ketogenic Diet

A Comprehensive Guide To The Vegan Ketogenic Diet

Animal suffering, climate change, and health are three vitally important issues that can all be addressed with one solution — the vegan diet. At least, this is the idea that many health documentaries promote. The truth, however, is much more nuanced. Some may wonder if it is possible to follow a vegan keto diet. The short answer is, yes. From a health perspective, some people have much better health when they go low-carb and eat some animal products, while others feel much better on a ...

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 ...
