Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

August 21, 2014 by 35 Comments

I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing these amazing pictures online for what I think will be the greatest brownies of all time, spending a while in the kitchen, and then realizing that what I end up with is an almost paper-thin, crunchy, dry, and near inedible brownie (if you can even call it that). What you might think was cut off the top of what could have been great, the recipes I've been trying over the last few months just never came out how I wanted them to. So, I set out to create ...

Christopher Lost Almost 100 Lbs and Gained Confidence

October 1, 2019 by Leave a Comment

My entire life I have been overweight. When I started the ketogenic diet I was at my all-time high of 270 pounds at 6 feet tall. One morning I bent over to put my shoes on and couldn’t breathe. I decided it was time to make a change. With diabetes and heart trouble running in my family I knew it would have to be a major one. I got some information on keto and decided it was the way to go. I was a full-time college student at the time and working 2 jobs so it was difficult at first but once I ...

Keto Okonomiyaki Chaffles

Keto Okonomiyaki Chaffles

March 10, 2022 by Leave a Comment

Okonomiyaki is a classic Japanese pancake, usually made from cabbage and drizzled in a savory sauce. However, the okonomiyaki is wheat based, meaning not keto friendly. So of course, here's a keto friendly okonomiyaki chaffle so you can still enjoy this signature dish! I kept as many as the signature ingredients I could, like the red cabbage, mayonnaise, and green onions. The sauce drizzled on top of the chaffles, sprinkled with green onions, and then a dash of furikake is really what ...

Hello World. My Journey From 350 Pounds to 190.

November 2, 2013 by 12 Comments

Where I Am Now Let's first start out with some basics. Now some of this may seem like unnecessary information but comparing it to my past, it's meaningful but that'll become more apparent as you keep reading. I currently sit at 190 pounds and have been at this weight for about a year now. I am 6'4 and have about 9.5% body fat. I lead a pretty active lifestyle in comparison to what it used to be. I frequent the gym 3-4 a week, go out to social gatherings another 2-3 times a week and work 5 ...

Bacon, Avocado, and Chicken Sandwich

Bacon, Avocado, and Chicken Sandwich

September 30, 2015 by 29 Comments

Bread is something that most of us miss while on keto. From the simplicity of sandwiches, to the gourmet aspect of adding croutons to your soup - it's an ingredient that is both versatile and easy to use. Today, we're going to use Keto Cloud bread to make a delicious and super simple bacon, avocado, and chicken sandwich. It's a little bit of a play on the classic BLT - made with more fat, more flavor, and the delicious texture you remember! I've been a fan of Keto Cloud Bread ever since I ...

Pork and Cabbage Casserole

Pork and Cabbage Casserole

April 25, 2017 by 8 Comments

This pork and cabbage casserole is a reconstructed cabbage stuffed with a ground pork filling. It slices just like a cake, and is a wonderful hearty dish that is fun serve. This dish is similar to stuffed cabbage rolls but without all the fuss of messing around with individual rolls. The recipe does take a few hours to put together and cook, but I think it's time well spent. If you do not have a lot of people to feed in your house then this dish also reheats well during the week. I ...
