For example, If you eat too much fat, then your weight loss progress will stall, and you may even start to gain more body fat. On the other hand, If you don't eat enough, then you will lose weight at an unhealthy pace while fighting off hunger pangs and fatigue. To find the Goldilocks amount of fat you must eat to meet ...

Feta and Bacon Bites
May 30, 2017 by 6 Comments
One of my favorite keto things to make is cheese based dough. It is incredibly versatile. These feta and bacon bites are just one of many things that you can make with this type of dough. Not only are these bites super easy to make, but cook time is roughly 15 minutes! They are also a great snack to keep for on-the-go. For this recipe I used a muffin tin, however you don’t have too. You can put these on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) or a silicon baking mat. I used a muffin ...

The Best Low Carb Keto Ice Cream Recipes
January 15, 2018 by Leave a Comment
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 ...

Keto Broccoli Cheddar Biscuits
February 11, 2014 by 15 Comments
Broccoli is probably my most favorite vegetable out of all the vegetables. It's delicious, nutritious, and it acts as a binder. Cauliflower is a close second, but for me it just doesn't taste as good. You have to actually put effort into getting rid of that pungent smell and taste with cauliflower, with broccoli the taste is welcomed. I'd seen a lot of biscuit recipes circling around lately, so I wanted to try my own spin at some "biscuits". They turned out pretty awesome, nice and crunchy on ...
