Keto Diet vs. Atkins Diet: What’s the Difference?

January 14, 2019 by Leave a Comment

The ketogenic diet and the Atkins diet have both helped thousands of people achieve incredible fat loss results and improve health. However, there is much controversy surrounding which approach is best for weight loss, how healthy they are, and how they work. Both diets focus on restricting carbs to lose fat, but the Atkins diet approaches this from a different angle than the keto diet. The hallmark (and benchmark) of the keto diet is sustaining nutritional ketosis, while the Atkins diet ...

Pecan Butter Chia Seed Blondies

June 2, 2014 by 10 Comments

A little delicious treat is something that everyone on a ketogenic diet will crave. But, when it comes to the carb counts and fat ratios, we need to make sure everything is in check before we start baking. These blondie squares are 88% calories from fat - just about good enough to be considered a fat bomb. As many of you know, I try to stay clear of the usual "fat bomb" consisting of frozen coconut oil and cocoa powder. You can check out my other "twists" on fat bombs by trying out a chia seed ...

January 14, 2019 by Leave a Comment

A quick search for weight loss tips will yield thousands of options, from fasting to fad diets to keto diet plans. Though these strategies can help us lose weight rapidly, most of them don’t help us keep it off years later. Long-term studies have found that most people struggle to stay on their diet and usually gain the weight back. This is true for every diet from keto to low-fat. So, if another 30-day meal plan, cleanse, or diet is not the answer, then what is? We developed the ...

Keto Nutella: Sugar-free Hazelnut Spread

Keto Nutella: Sugar-free Hazelnut Spread

June 2, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Nutella is the perfect example of something that should be keto-friendly but is far from it. The label displays a simple chocolate hazelnut spread, but the ingredients list reveals a different story: Nutella’s primary ingredient is sugar. Although there are some sugar-free Nutella-like products, they rarely match what I can make at home. In fact, my homemade keto Nutella is so good that I had to share the recipe with everyone. With just five ingredients — most of which are commonplace in ...

What Are Omega 3 Fatty Acids?

What Are Omega 3 Fatty Acids?

September 5, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Omega-3 fatty acids are a special type of fat molecule. As a triglyceride, they consist of a small compound called glycerol (C3H8O3) attached to three chains of carbon atoms called fatty acids. They are a polyunsaturated fat, which means that they contain more than one carbon-carbon double bonds. In contrast, monounsaturated fats contain only one carbon-carbon double bond while saturated fats contain no carbon-carbon double bonds. Fatty acids generally have two ends: a carboxylic acid, which ...

Sopapilla Cheesecake

Sopapilla Cheesecake

May 16, 2017 by 11 Comments

Here's an easy, low-carb, sopapilla cheesecake! Instead of a traditional crust, we will substitute a pork rind based dough. This means that you don't have to blind bake a pie crust. You can pan-fry the layers instead. Then this dessert gets layered with a quick cheesecake. It's topped with another layer of pan-fried dough, then a generous dusting of cinnamon and erythritol.  I think you'll love serving this dessert with a nice cup of hot coffee. You will need about 30 minutes to create ...

Together with an egg, they create a cookie base that's not only rich and satisfying but also gluten-free and keto-friendly. Whether you're on a keto diet or ...

Simple Asian Cucumber Salad

Simple Asian Cucumber Salad

March 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

A refreshing salad with a hint of tang! This Asian cucumber salad is great for get-togethers, work potlucks, or as a small salad with lunch or dinner. Now, this recipe only makes one serving, but cooking for two? Just double the ingredients! I used a gluten-free soy sauce for the dressing, but alternatively, you could use coconut aminos. You could also add in some extra ingredients, like avocado and onions but be careful because that will bring the carb count higher! Yields 1 servings ...
