Mini Keto Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes

Mini Keto Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes

The spice and sweetness of cinnamon rolls combine with the decadence and layers of a cheesecake with these mini cinnamon roll cheesecakes, made with crust, filling, and frosting layers. Plus, it’s the perfect-sized amount for an everyday dessert.  If you’ve been on food social media, you’ll have likely already seen the abundance of dessert hybrids. Think croissants and muffins (cruffins) or a scoop of ice cream wedged between two cookies (ice cream sandwich). When two good things come ...

Keto Carrot Cake

Keto Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is far from keto-friendly. The carrots, cake, and cream cheese icing saturate each slice with excess sugar and net carbs. Although you can have other types of cake on keto — such as chocolate mug cake or keto cheesecake — they simply don't match the unique texture and flavor of a high-quality carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. However, this doesn't mean you have to give up carrot cake to reach your keto goals. In fact, by using what we've learned from other low-carb cake ...

Keto Nutella: Sugar-free Hazelnut Spread

Keto Nutella: Sugar-free Hazelnut Spread

Nutella is the perfect example of something that should be keto-friendly but is far from it. The label displays a simple chocolate hazelnut spread, but the ingredients list reveals a different story: Nutella’s primary ingredient is sugar. Although there are some sugar-free Nutella-like products, they rarely match what I can make at home. In fact, my homemade keto Nutella is so good that I had to share the recipe with everyone. With just five ingredients — most of which are commonplace in ...

The Guide to Keto For Women: Lose Weight & Improve Health at Any Age

The Guide to Keto For Women: Lose Weight & Improve Health at Any Age

The keto diet is so different from other weight loss diet plans that it tends to spark concern, particularly regarding women’s health. There is no doubt that carb restriction can promote substantial amounts of fat loss for many women, but its impact on hormone levels, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause is often misunderstood. This naturally begs the question: Do keto weight loss results come at a cost, or is the diet a win-win for women's health? To help answer this critical question, ...

The Best Nuts for Keto: Low Carb Nuts, Seeds & What to Avoid

The Best Nuts for Keto: Low Carb Nuts, Seeds & What to Avoid

Nuts are known for their vitamin, mineral, fiber, and healthy fat content. What is often overlooked, however, is how many carbs they add to the diet. Since nuts are designed by nature to provide nourishment for a new plant, each one comes with some net carbs in the form of starches and sugars. This is why it is crucial to consider the carb counts of each nut before you incorporate them into your keto lifestyle. To give you a better idea of the best nuts for keto, let's take a look at carbs ...

Keto Milk Substitutes: The Best, the Worst, Tips, and Recipes

Keto Milk Substitutes: The Best, the Worst, Tips, and Recipes

With all of the butter, cheese, and heavy cream you can eat on the keto diet, it is easy to forget that dairy milk is packed with carbs and sugar (from lactose).  Because of this, milk is not a good drink to have on keto. This rings true for ALL dairy milks -- including whole, 1%, 2%, and skim -- each one being far from keto-friendly. That being said, there are plenty of low-carb milk alternatives you can easily find in any grocery store. Whether you want to cut carbs or dairy from your ...

“Keto Saved My Life” – Stefan, Down Over 200 Lbs.

“Keto Saved My Life” – Stefan, Down Over 200 Lbs.

After nearly 4 years clean from drugs and alcohol, I had switched addictions to food and put on around 200 lbs. In the end, I weighed just north of 400 pounds and was facing bariatric surgery, when I had this sort of breakthrough epiphany (after a dark moment of suicidal depression, and a few weeks later this chance encounter with a beautiful female friend from high school) where I realized that I was in control of my life; I was the one who got myself into this situation, and therefore could be ...
