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 ...

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 ...

Keto Hummus
June 23, 2020 by Leave a Comment
The creamy deliciousness of hummus is hard to resist. Unfortunately, so are the high-carb ingredients. Most hummus products and recipes rely on chickpeas (garbanzo beans) — a legume with ~5 grams of net carbs per ounce. This renders what could be a keto-friendly dip into something that is difficult to fit into the keto diet. Rather than avoiding hummus altogether, we’ve decided to convert it to the keto side. With this recipe, we’ll show you how to make keto hummus without the chickpeas. Can ...

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies
December 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment
The reaction I get out of people when I say the words chocolate and bacon together is absolutely priceless. They look so disgusted, but they're in the dark on this one. Bacon and chocolate go together extremely well - the salty components playing off the sweet, boosting the flavor of the chocolate. For this recipe, we are using candied bacon. If you need to know how to make it, we have a how-to on candied bacon. You'll also need to know how to make chocolate ganache. If you need, we have a ...
