What Is Acetone and Why Is It Important to Keto?

What Is Acetone and Why Is It Important to Keto?

June 10, 2018 by Leave a Comment

What does your bloodstream and nail polish remover have in common? Both contain a ketone body called acetone. It sounds like a poorly written joke, but it's merely a little-known fact about the human body. Acetone is the smallest ketone, which is produced naturally in our bodies as we are entering and sustaining a ketone-burning state called ketosis. Although acetone can be poisonous when inhaled or ingested, it is harmless (and may even be helpful) when it is produced within our ...

Low Carb Broccoli, Cheddar & Bacon Chowder

Low Carb Broccoli, Cheddar & Bacon Chowder

December 19, 2013 by 17 Comments

Creamy, delicious, and very filling! This chowder will have anyone that loves bacon, cheese, and broccoli demanding more (and I hope that's everyone here.) In this recipe, we'll be using roasted broccoli. This stuff is absolutely delicious on its own, but if you don't know how to make it: here's the recipe. After you make it, you can set it to the side for when you add it to the chowder. When I fed this to friends and family I actually got "gourmet restaurant quality" as feedback from one ...

Keto Chicken and Rice Casserole

Keto Chicken and Rice Casserole

August 30, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Chicken and rice casseroles are classic, kid-friendly, and feed a crowd. This makes it a long-time family favorite. We had a traditional version of this casserole in the regular dinner rotation growing up, as did most everyone else. That version was made with rice, chicken, and an array of canned condensed soups. It tasted great but was far from low carb. This keto chicken and rice casserole recipe is much healthier, uses simple ingredients, and still feeds a crowd. It uses some of my ...

Anais Used Keto to Help With Her Cancer Treatments

February 18, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Well, my story might be a little different. I actually went on the ketogenic diet because I have stage 4B Hodgkin's lymphoma. I did 6 months of chemotherapy in the winter of 2014 which didn't end up working. The next step was a bone marrow transplant, but since it was summer I wanted to wait a few months and enjoy myself. I ended up seeing a naturopath who highly recommended the keto diet since cancer cells feed on glucose. I immediately got on it and had to search really hard for all the info. ...

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

June 18, 2018 by 1 Comment

One of the most satiating diets is the keto diet. Keto-friendly foods are typically so filling that keto dieters end up eating fewer calories — and, in many cases, fewer meals — throughout the day. This allows them to lose weight sustainably. However, just because you are following keto doesn’t mean that you are immune to hunger and afternoon energy crashes. If you’re not prepared, and the convenience of processed, carb-dense snacks beckons you, you may very well find yourself with a mouthful ...

Knowing the what and why behind this way of eating plays an integral ...

A soup that captures all of the flavors of an enchilada, without the tortilla and added carbs - perfect for anyone on a ketogenic diet! It's preferred that you make your own chicken stock from leftover bones you have, but if you're in a pinch of time, you can go with College Inn broth or more expensive (organic) broth over at Whole ...

Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6

Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6

November 21, 2013 by 6 Comments

Although the human body can manufacture most of the fats it needs from other fats, carbohydrates, and protein, there are two groups of unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be manufactured in the body — omega-3s and omega-6s. These are known as “essential fatty acids,” and they can help regulate body composition, cell function, immune response, and improve overall health and well-being. In fact, we can’t survive without the critical roles that omega-3s and omega-6 fatty acids play throughout ...

Chorizo Baked Eggs

Chorizo Baked Eggs

October 30, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Eggs are one of the easiest keto breakfast foods. They’re quick to prepare, have well-portioned macronutrients, and you can easily add fat to them to help keep you full. I tend to eat fried eggs nearly every day, but sometimes I want something a bit more flavorful on my plate. Chorizo is a well-seasoned pork sausage that is much looser than traditional sausage. It’s packed with smoky and spicy flavor that goes well with a variety of food. One of the best things about it is it takes less ...
