10 Beefy Keto Recipes: Low-Carb Beef Meals
Beef is probably the protein I've leaned on most over the past decade-plus of eating keto. It's not just that it fits the macros, it's that beef actually holds up to the cooking you want to do. High heat, long braises, quick skillets. It handles all of it. I've gone through phases with chicken, pork, fish. But when I need something that fills me up and keeps me full for hours, beef is where I land. There's a reason keto and beef go together so well: the fat content lines up with what a low-carb ...

Custard is a new favorite of mine, and I can’t believe how EASY it is to make! There are different ways to make it too. Adding whole eggs to a custard base will make it hold its form… If you just use egg yolks, it will have the consistency of pudding, which is excellent for a creme brulee. Today, I will be making a flan, a popular Mexican dessert, which will have a firm and robust custard that will hold its shape outside a ramekin. We will also be creating a caramel sauce with it that ...

The 10 Best Tips for Keto Diet Success
The ketogenic diet is a diet like no other. It combines the power of calorie restriction with the unique benefits of nutritional ketosis to provide people with an effective way to lose weight and improve overall health. As I look deeper into the keto diet, however, there is a huge discrepancy between what people think they need to do versus what the science says is best for most people.

What is Saturated Fat? The Truth about These “Bad” Fats
Saturated fat has been known for decades as being a “bad” or “unhealthy” type of fat. However, the truth is saturated with complexity. For example, specific types of saturated fats and different foods rich in these fats can vary in how they affect our health. These fats can also impact each of us differently depending on our genetic vulnerabilities. For most people, however, this “bad” fat actually has a neutral or positive effect on health, particularly when consumed as a part of a carb ...

Almond Crusted Keto Quiche
I make a ton of frittatas, whether they're in muffin version, in the cast iron, or just in a casserole - they're fantastic. But I do miss that crusty crumbly pastry on the outside. So, I set out to re-create a quiche! Frittatas save extremely well for me in the fridge, lasting all week and sometimes longer, and it's the same with this! Can you say breakfast every day for the rest of the week? The only thing that I had a problem with, was the first slice. I had to ruin the crust on it to ...
