Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia.

A great finger food that you can make ahead of time is a stromboli.

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.

This may raise the question, "How many calories should I eat on keto?" Well, that depends... You might have been told that counting calories is not needed on a ketogenic diet because it causes more weight loss than other diets. That’s not exactly true.

Macronutrients and the Ketogenic Diet

November 6, 2013 by 44 Comments

The three main macronutrients that are relatable to a keto diet are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. All three of these nutrients have different effects on ketosis because of how our body digests and metabolizes them. Fats are 90% ketogenic and 10% anti-ketogenic, due to the small amount of glucose that is released in the conversion of triglycerides into usable energy. Proteins are roughly ~46% ketogenic and 58% anti-ketogenic since insulin levels usually rise in response to the ...
