Maintaining the keto way of eating while traveling: I can’t count the number of times that I've been e-mailed, messaged, or asked about this topic. It’s a common factor that when people travel, they’re just not sure if they can keep up with a high-fat ketogenic lifestyle. A few months ago, my girlfriend and I went on a small vacation through Portland and Seattle. I wanted to document all of the food I was eating to share the experience and to provide some tips and tricks with all of the ...

You're so freaking heavy you outweigh my Chevy!" were daily chants as I boarded the school bus.  I'd become subject of the majority of the boys' fat jokes. "You have such a pretty face...you would be so beautiful if you just lost a few pounds," was repeated by so many of my well meaning family members. Three times per week I climbed on the scale in the nurse's office at my elementary school. I listened to all the benefits I could have if I just started making better food choices. The words ...

Hey Craig, In just 4 months I have lost 35 lbs. I was amazed that in just the first week I had lost 5, and felt better than I had for years. Last year I was diagnosed with toxic black mold syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome as a secondary diagnosis. Due to these problems I have odd neurological symptoms and moderate anxiety. Drugs don't help my anxiety. Since I began this diet my anxiety has lessened a ton. My general neurological symptoms such as difficult word recall, twitching, and ...

I started my Keto journey at 194 pounds and a size 16. I had just turned 30, worked full-time, attended school at night, and was married with a toddler.

My joint and heel pain went away, I had more energy, and I started to lose weight. In August of the following year, I hit my lowest weight of 139 pounds (55 pounds ...

Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

When it comes to keto, jam definitely isn't the first thing that pops into your head. But, making some new sweet sauces can definitely be within your grasp. To top it all off, you can add plenty of fats to really bring the macros up to par. We use MCT Oil here because of the liquid properties that it has. When you store the jam in the fridge, it will continue to stay as a sauce and not harden up (as it would if you used coconut oil). These's two main flavor components that I'd describe ...
