Keto Chicken Thighs – 10 Recipes and 4 Essential Rules

It is hard not to like chicken thighs. Despite being one of the cheapest meats, they are packed with more flavor and healthy fats than costlier cuts like chicken breast. Surprisingly enough, the benefits of chicken thighs only increase as the cost goes down. By opting for bone-in, skin-on thighs — instead of the more expensive boneless, skinless option — you can reap the benefits of collagen and bone broth without having to pay extra for keto supplements.  To help you get the most out of ...

Kayla Lost Over 30 Lbs. and 10% Body Fat

Hello! My keto journey started in June 2016, but the research started long before that back in April 2016.

I was on a macro counting diet prior to this WOE and I was eating six times a day. The first two weeks, I made a SUPER slow transition as I was just getting used to eating less often and how my meals were planned, ultimately I wish ...

Chicken dishes are so popular that they are the third most widely consumed food in America, following closely behind grain-based desserts and yeast breads. In other words, chicken is the most widely consumed keto-friendly food in the United States.

Fortunately, there are many low-carb vegetables and keto ...

It's a bit protein heavy, so just keep that in mind when planning ...
