It's simple: cut the carbs, increase the fat, and you will be on track to following a highly effective weight loss diet. However, as with any major dietary change, significantly restricting your carbs will increase your risk for certain short-term and long-term side effects — some of which will go away with minor adjustments while others will provide you with a clue that keto isn't a healthy diet for you. To clear up any confusion you may have about the risks of the keto diet, let's take a ...

Bacon Avocado Muffins
When you think of muffins you generally reminisce on the overly sweet, sugar-laden pastries you can buy in the coffee shop. You don't usually see yourself eating a savory muffin, especially one that's stuffed full of avocado and bacon. Especially not me. I never used to be much of a fan of avocados growing up (even though I had a tree), but recently found a new love for them - and can't seem to get enough of them anymore. These keto muffins are absolutely awesome. You know when you wake up a ...

Inside Out Bacon Burger
It's been a long time coming that I actually use the meat of a burger as buns - but that time has finally come! Bacon, cheese, and some crispy raw onion between 2 patties of...more bacon and ground beef? Count me in!

One of the most satiating diets is the keto diet. Keto-friendly foods are typically so filling that keto dieters end up eating fewer calories — and, in many cases, fewer meals — throughout the day. This allows them to lose weight sustainably. However, just because you are following keto doesn’t mean that you are immune to hunger and afternoon energy crashes. If you’re not prepared, and the convenience of processed, carb-dense snacks beckons you, you may very well find yourself with a mouthful ...

Keto Salad Sandwiches
These salad sandwiches are a fun way to have a refreshing and delightful sandwich without all the carbs. The crisp tasting romaine lettuce is the base for these "sandwiches." These are then topped with fresh avocado and cucumber slices along with cherry tomatoes. The best part of these sandwiches is the high-fat "dressing," butter and cream cheese. These taste so good on the lettuce leaves and give it that perfect amount of something more! I can't wait to make these for lunch! Yields 2 ...
