How to Start a Low Carb Diet: A Step-by-Step Guide
July 12, 2026 by Leave a Comment
Starting a low-carb diet sounds simple enough - just eat fewer carbs. But if you've ever tried it without a plan, you know how quickly that falls apart. You open the fridge on day two, realize you have nothing to eat, and end up ordering pizza. I've seen this pattern hundreds of times over the years, and the fix is almost always the same: the people who succeed are the ones who prepare before they start. They clean out their kitchen, stock it with the right foods, have a rough meal plan for the ...

Easy Keto Honey Vinaigrette
December 7, 2013 by Leave a Comment
This is the first homemade keto salad dressing I ever made. We use it quite a bit at our house. In fact, I never even refrigerate it, because it's usually gone within two weeks time (though I've had it last as long as a month). I mean, if you think about it, all of the ingredients are shelf stable. Why wouldn't they continue to be when mixed together? Also, I use raw honey, which is both antibacterial and antimicrobial. I figure I've got it covered either way. However, you can certainly store ...

5 Minute Keto Raspberry Vinaigrette
June 25, 2015 by 5 Comments
We went out for lunch recently and had a salad that came with a raspberry vinaigrette. Of course knowing it would be laden with sugar, I made sure I got it on the side to confirm my suspicions. When the salad came to the table, I dipped my finger in the dressing to give it a taste - and not surprisingly found it ridiculously sweet. The flavor, though, was amazing. Once we got home, we knew exactly what we needed to do. Recreate this vinaigrette without the carbs and sugar - so we could ...

Our 25 Favorite Keto Chicken Recipes
September 29, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Chicken dishes are so popular that they are the third most widely consumed food in America, following closely behind grain-based desserts and yeast breads. In other words, chicken is the most widely consumed keto-friendly food in the United States. Most chicken dishes, however, come with a carb-rich side like rice or potatoes or chicken that is breaded with high carb ingredients, making a high-protein keto food into an unhealthy meal. Fortunately, there are many low-carb vegetables and keto ...

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 ...

Our Top 10 Keto Muffin Recipes
October 1, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Ever since the end of the 18th century, American style muffins have been the perfect excuse to have something sweet and cakey for breakfast. It all began with simple ingredients like sugar and flour to make a quick sweet bread, then they started adding sweet treats like fruit and chocolate or savory foods like bacon, cheese, and herbs. The result is a delicious breakfast that everyone loves, but the flour and other carb-rich ingredients make them into a low carb keto dieters nightmare. The ...
