The Best Low Carb Keto Ice Cream Recipes
The history of keto ice cream goes all the way back to 5th century BC to when the first sweet ice cream-like dessert was made. The ancient Greeks would line up at Athen's street market to buy this sweet ice cream-like treat that consisted of snow, honey, and fruit. Even Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, encouraged his patients to eat this brand new ice-y food "as it livens the life-juices and increases the well-being." Unfortunately, as ice cream evolved over the centuries, we took ...

Stuffed Beef Rolls
These stuffed beef rolls are wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with mushrooms, onions, spinach, cream cheese and other cheeses. They are crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle. I have used beef schnitzel to make these but you could use any steak that is big enough like flank steak. Just cut it thinly and pound until about ½ to a ¼ inch thick. You can also try this recipe using different fillings like sundried tomato, spinach and cheese, or feta, spinach and walnut. If you are ...

What is the Keto Flu & How to Remedy It?
Adapting to the ketogenic diet can feel like the flu. Tiredness, fatigue, stomach pains, and dizziness are common symptoms that the ketogenic diet beginner can experience, but these symptoms don't come from a ketogenic virus or an infected mosketo (like “mosquito” — sorry, I couldn't resist). In fact, the symptoms for keto flu are not even caused by ketosis, ketogenesis, or the flu at all. The keto flu is caused by the body's response to carbohydrate restriction. Here's a quick video that ...
