It all started several years ago. I have been overweight or a little chunky basically all throughout my teens. When I was younger, it wasn’t a huge issue because I was active and played sports. Once I got into high school, I moved away from sports and got into art. I was less active but still loved to eat. When I was 18 and in my first year of college (2012), I had reached 200lbs. It was at this time that I met my current husband. We went out to eat often and otherwise stayed home, so the ...

Low Carb Chips for Keto: What to Buy and How to Make Them Yourself
Chips are usually just crunchy carbs slathered with salt and oil. The best examples of this are tortilla chips and potato chips. Their palate-pleasing combination of salt, fat, and carbs makes it unnaturally easy for us to overeat them without feeling full. This is why many of us can easily eat an entire family-sized bag of chips in one sitting (and on a larger scale, this is one of the driving forces behind the rising rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes worldwide). The solution is ...

Keto Cheeseburger Sushi
My love of 2 foods came together when I was wanting a burger for dinner and my other half was begging for keto sushi. I thought, why not combine both into 1? You get the compact, flavor-packed, and fun side of sushi mixed with the rich, cheesy flavors of a burger. All wrapped up into an incredibly unique and tasty dish. The sauce for this recipe is similar to big mac sauce; sweet and tangy. It packs a punch and helps to cut through the savory beef, rich bacon, and melted cheddar cheese. ...

Keto Crepes
Crepes are the perfect compromise between a thick, heavy pancake and a thin, soft tortilla. You can eat them by the stack, turn them into a breakfast wrap, or transform them into a uniquely satisfying dessert. However, along with pancakes and tortilla, traditional crepes rely on high-carb flours and sugary additions as well. This is why it’s best to make them yourself to keep your meal keto-friendly as you satisfy your crepe craving. Simply replace the all-purpose flour and sugar for ...

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
