Keto Tiramisu

Keto Tiramisu

July 16, 2020 by 9 Comments

Tiramisu is one of the most satisfying desserts when it's at its best. However, the process of making it yourself can be overwhelming at first, especially on the keto diet. Is it possible to make a high-quality keto tiramisu? What ingredients should you use? How do you replace the high-carb tiramisu cake layer? After researching and experimenting, I've found that tiramisu is surprisingly easy to make and fit into keto. As with other keto desserts, we'll make a few simple ingredient swaps to ...

Ketofied Chick-Fil-A-style Chicken

September 3, 2019 by 14 Comments

This ketofied chicken recipe features pickle juice as the brine, and protein powder as the low-carb breading alternative. The result? Juicy and golden tenders that are a perfect dupe.  Brining and frying are the secrets to cooking flavorful chicken breasts.  Using pickle juice for the brine infuses these chicken tenders with their dill flavor, plus leads to perfectly seasoned meat. Try serving these up with a side of our buffalo coleslaw, and our fire and ice pickles. These chicken strips ...

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

August 23, 2018 by 8 Comments

Eggplant is a surprisingly hearty vegetable that can make a great substitute for meat or noodles. This recipe for baked eggplant Parmesan is gooey, cheesy, comfort food at its best. The eggplant gets a crispy coating, topped with a generous serving of spicy tomato sauce and cheese. What could be better? Eggplant is naturally a little bitter, but it just takes one extra easy step to make sure it has a nice neutral flavor. Slicing the eggplant into rounds and sprinkling with salt to remove ...

Lemon Glazed Spice Fritters

Lemon Glazed Spice Fritters

After going about making the Fried Cookie Dough, some people had let me know that they weren't getting the same results as me. It came down to using casein over whey protein powder (one is thicker and contains more xanthan than the other), so their dough wasn't turning out right. Others didn't want to use processed protein powders in their food - so I sought out to create something that uses neither protein or processed foods. I came up with fritters. Though the dough is a lot more sticky ...

When it comes to making and cooking breakfast on a ketogenic diet, we often think of many different recipes including bacon and eggs, egg frittata, ketoproof coffee, or just straight up fasting. We need a bit more variety, and while I have tried to give some, we still need more! Now, I know the pictures aren't amazing, but the pictures just don't do them justice. These little keto muffins are packed full of deliciousness - sausage, maple syrup, and a sweet pancake-ish fluffy muffin to encase all ...

Fat Adaptation: What It Is, How Long It Takes, and How to Know When You’re There

Fat Adaptation: What It Is, How Long It Takes, and How to Know When You’re There

June 7, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Ketosis and fat adaptation are not the same thing. You can be in ketosis after two days of carb restriction. Fat adaptation takes weeks - sometimes months - and the difference matters more than most keto guides acknowledge. Ketosis is a metabolic state measured by blood ketone levels. Fat adaptation is the deeper process underneath it: the cellular machinery your body builds to run on fat efficiently. Think of ketosis as the signal that the switch has been flipped. Fat adaptation is the ...

Keto Chicken Thighs – 10 Recipes and 4 Essential Rules

December 8, 2019 by Leave a Comment

It is hard not to like chicken thighs. Despite being one of the cheapest meats, they are packed with more flavor and healthy fats than costlier cuts like chicken breast. Surprisingly enough, the benefits of chicken thighs only increase as the cost goes down. By opting for bone-in, skin-on thighs — instead of the more expensive boneless, skinless option — you can reap the benefits of collagen and bone broth without having to pay extra for keto supplements.  To help you get the most out of ...

Elizabeth Got Her Health & Energy Back with Keto

October 14, 2022 by Leave a Comment

I think I first saw mention of keto on the hypothyroidism subreddit. I became curious first because my doctor had already told me I needed to restrict carbs and second because this hypo sufferer on reddit claimed keto allowed her to lose a ton of weight easily. I was duly suspect. The only time I had been able to lose significant weight was with a Herculean effort in college. I ate a starvation diet, tracking my calories through Weight Watchers. I exercised religiously. I didn't go out with ...

When people are new to the ketogenic diet, they often wonder what type of foods they should and could eat while restricting carbs.
