To maintain the health of your brain, muscle, bone, nerves, skin, blood circulation, immune system, and every other cell in your body, you need to consume an adequate amount of macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients, primarily proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, are needed in large amounts, and you can learn more about them in this article.

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes

I went through some of my top reader and personal favorite recipes from the site to show you how much a typical ketogenic diet recipe costs, both per recipe and per serving.

Ketogenic Diet vs. SAD and Exercise
The ketogenic diet keeps astonishing researchers with its ability to promote weight loss and reverse a handful of diseases. But can keto help quell the growing epidemic of metabolic syndrome that now affects 1 in 4 American adults? A 2017 research study provides compelling evidence that it can.

10 Keto Dairy-Free Recipes for Lunch & Dinner
Going dairy-free on keto isn't a restriction, it's a filter. You cut the obvious stuff like cheese and cream, and what's left tends to be cleaner, lighter, and honestly more interesting. I've been eating keto long enough to know what works, and some of my most-used recipes happen to be completely dairy-free without trying to be. No clever substitutions, no sacrificing texture. Just food that works. The beef and broccoli I make at home is one of those recipes. It tastes like the stir fry I used ...

Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Cauliflower Soup
Soup season has arrived and this one's definitely going to warm your bones. There's snow storms and unseasonably cold temperatures just about everywhere in the north now, and I've been ready to dig into a bowl of soup all week. This is like a sophisticated version of tomato soup and grilled cheese - except without the bread. The tangy goats cheese really gives it another dimension at the end. And bacon? Well, bacon is fantastic on everything - as most of you already know! If you're dairy ...

What is Ketosis?
Ketosis is the metabolic state when blood ketone levels reach a certain level (around 0.5 mmol/L). People will typically enter ketosis when they restrict carbohydrates (i.e., by following the ketogenic diet) or eat little to no calories (i.e., fasting for multiple days). In general, the body will not enter ketosis as long as there are enough carbs available from the diet or stored glycogen (the storage form of sugar) to provide the cells with energy. As long as sugar is available (and you ...

10 Keto Meal Prep Ideas: Low Carb Freezer Meals
Meal prep is either the thing that saves your week or the thing you meant to do. After years of eating keto, I've landed on a middle ground: keep a rotation of 8-10 recipes you actually like making in bulk, and don't overthink it. These aren't the sad container-of-iceberg-lettuce kind of meal prep. Most of these are real comfort food: the nacho chicken casserole alone has gotten me through more busy weeks than I can count. A few of these freeze well enough that I'll double the batch ...
