What is Monounsaturated Fat? Everything You Need to Know About This Healthy Fat

Of the four types of dietary fat, monounsaturated fat is the only one that isn’t riddled with controversy.

Keto Au Gratin Brussels Sprouts

It's that time of week where most of us are looking through the fridge thinking "Why didn't I go to the store yesterday?"

Keto Carrot Cake

Keto Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is far from keto-friendly. The carrots, cake, and cream cheese icing saturate each slice with excess sugar and net carbs. Although you can have other types of cake on keto — such as chocolate mug cake or keto cheesecake — they simply don't match the unique texture and flavor of a high-quality carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. However, this doesn't mean you have to give up carrot cake to reach your keto goals. In fact, by using what we've learned from other low-carb cake ...

What is Polyunsaturated Fat? The Truth About This “Healthy” Fat

What is Polyunsaturated Fat? The Truth About This “Healthy” Fat

Most of our fat intake comes from three types of fatty acids: polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated. Each one has unique properties that interact with our bodies in different ways.

Keto And Alzheimer’s Disease

Keto And Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia. For decades, researchers have been struggling to find therapies that prevent or, at least, delay the progression of the disease, but now we have some promising evidence. Current research suggests that the ketogenic diet and ketones have a wide range of neurological benefits that help address many factors that contribute to the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6

Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6

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 ...
