What Are Ketones? Everything You Need to Know
August 9, 2017 by 5 Comments
One miraculous energy source has garnered the attention of many nutrition experts and researchers over the past decade. No, it is not carbohydrates, fats, or even protein. We call them ketones or ketone bodies (more on the difference between the two later). To your body, however, ketones are nothing new. In fact, your heart and renal cortex (the part of the kidney where ultrafiltration occurs) are using ketones as fuel right now. These cells prefer to use ketones instead of sugar. After ...

The Keto Diet for Couples: Proof that You Can Conquer Weight Loss
March 27, 2018 by 4 Comments
My fiance and I met 7 years ago and did not know we would embark on a journey for a keto diet for couples. We had both brought our childhood obesity into adulthood but had done work separately before we met to be healthier. We were pretty fitness focused and the smallest we ever were in our adult lives at the point when we met. We vowed to continue being healthy, but many years of good food, back injuries for each of us and pizza nights saw us tipping the scales at double our “normal” body ...

Cinnamon and Orange Beef Stew
January 21, 2014 by 31 Comments
So I decided to go a little bit out of the ordinary last night and make a beef stew that many of you might not have experienced before. The rich flavors of citrus and beef stock combine with the deep elements of cinnamon and fish sauce to create a delicious meal. We start by searing our meat in a cast iron skillet, letting the wonderful fats caramelize and coax out the flavor. We then add all of our aromatics to cook for a moment before de-glazing with our citrus. After 5 hours in a crock ...

Keto Skirt Steak Fajitas
April 23, 2014 by 1 Comment
Fajitas are something that I've been REALLY craving lately, so I set out to make some that weren't going to disappoint. Low and behold, these fajitas did the trick! They'll serve around 6 people, but I didn't make enough tortillas for that many. If you need to serve to a large group of people, take your time to make more tortillas than what's in the recipe. You can also make larger tortillas and serve 1 per person if you use the original recipe. You can find the tortilla recipe here, but I've ...

Cold Zucchini Salad
April 9, 2020 by 2 Comments
This cold zucchini salad is the perfect summery salad for serving alongside BBQ. We create this with sauteed zucchini, celery, lots of onion, and a mayonnaise-based dressing. This salad is great for making ahead because it's even better if you let it sit overnight. There's no need to bust out the spiralizer or even the vegetable peeler because the zucchini is very simply chopped, which gives it a great chunky texture. Try adding some rotisserie chicken and feta cheese for a heartier ...
