Kayla Lost Over 30 Lbs. and 10% Body Fat

Hello! My keto journey started in June 2016, but the research started long before that back in April 2016. I took 2-3 months to study and research the ketogenic diet to understand the "rules of the road", meal planning, success stories and all of the ins and outs. I was on a macro counting diet prior to this WOE and I was eating six times a day. The first two weeks, I made a SUPER slow transition as I was just getting used to eating less often and how my meals were planned, ultimately I wish ...

Carb Blockers 101: Benefits, Side Effects, Results

Carbohydrates are everywhere. From rice to bread, east to west, it is difficult to find dishes and diets that don't derive the majority of their calories from carbs. If we could just find a way to keep our bodies from absorbing these pesky calories, then we would be able to indulge in our favorite carb-rich dishes without gaining those extra pounds. Sounds like it's just a hedonic fantasy, right? Interestingly enough, research suggests that blocking carb absorption is possible. Let me ...

First Week: Top 3 Keto Conundrums

These symptoms typically include mild digestive issues, mental ...

Keto Breadsticks

Keto Breadsticks

Today I decided to do breadsticks in three different ways: Italian style, extra cheesy, and cinnamon sugar. Two savory flavors which taste absolutely delicious just dipped in some tomato sauce (I use Rao's), and one sweet flavor which tastes fantastic dipped in a cream cheese buttercream (1 oz. Cream Cheese, 2 tbsp. Heavy Cream, and 1 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener). I based this recipe for the breadsticks on the same dough that's used in both the Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza and the Keto Roti John. This ...

This dish is the perfect keto meal, nutritious, delicious, high in healthy fats, and takes under 20 minutes from fridge to table.  Adding enough healthy fats to your diet is essential.

Keto Meal Replacement Shake

Keto Meal Replacement Shake

Most meal replacement shakes are far from keto-friendly. They often rely on high-sugar fruits and carb-rich dairy products, which add enough carbs to slow your weight loss progress on keto.

In fact, you are only a few ingredient swaps away from cutting the carbs and making a delicious shake that'll keep you satisfied throughout the day. With our keto meal replacement shake recipe, ...

How To Find Your Ketogenic Diet Carb Limit

How To Find Your Ketogenic Diet Carb Limit

There is no legitimate carb limit for keto. The keto gods won't banish you to burn in sugar hell forever if you eat an extra blueberry. The truth is that every person has a different carb limit that they should stick to so that they can trigger ketone production. This "carb limit" also changes depending on the day. Whether your body achieves ketosis or not — the main reason why you are limiting carbs in the first place — depends on many factors. Some people may be able to get into ketosis ...
