The Best Low-Carb and Keto Fruits (and Which to Avoid)

The Best Low-Carb and Keto Fruits (and Which to Avoid)

Can you eat fruit on a ketogenic diet? In short, it’s best to avoid most fruits except for berries, avocados, olives, and tomatoes, which you can eat in moderation. Below, we’ll take a closer look at some of the best keto fruits you can eat on a low carb diet and what you should avoid. When people switch to a ketogenic diet, fruit can be an area of confusion. Fruit has been marketed as healthy for many years and generally has a positive stigma behind it. On the ketogenic diet, however, ...

Tracy Jumped Over the 50 Pound Hurdle!

Tracy Jumped Over the 50 Pound Hurdle!

Here's the story of Tracy, another very inspirational story that came across us at Ketogenic Living Facebook Group. Take it away Tracy - thank you for sharing! My name is Tracy Daubert, and I am a 23 year old Early Learning Educator. I can honestly say that I have always struggled with my weight, even in my early years. I remember trying to lose weight even as early as grade 6; I was constantly uncomfortable in my body and had very low self-esteem. That low self-esteem continued well into my ...

Kayla Lost Over 30 Lbs. and 10% Body Fat

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 ...

Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Soup

Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Soup

This is as good as comfort food gets in a bowl! Using the bacon fat until the last drop to our advantage to flavor the jalapeno peppers and the soup itself. At the end we take an immersion blender to the base of the soup to emulsify the liquids and fats together - creating a velvety, creamy, and delicious mixture that doesn't separate. The thyme, celery seed, onion and garlic really work wonders in this soup - so make sure you don't leave them out! The cumin comes along just toward the end of ...

Carb Blockers 101: Benefits, Side Effects, Results

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

First Week: Top 3 Keto Conundrums

The combination of carb restriction and ketosis is what makes the keto diet so effective for so many. The decreased hunger and increase energy levels that most keto dieters experience make it so much easier to eat fewer calories, improve health, and lose weight naturally. Unfortunately, to reap all of the benefits of keto dieting, you may have to experience some unpleasant symptoms as your body adapts to low-carb living. These symptoms typically include mild digestive issues, mental ...

10 Easy Keto Skillet Meals for Dinner & Meal Prep

10 Easy Keto Skillet Meals for Dinner & Meal Prep

I've been making one-pan skillet dinners since my first year on keto. They were the thing that made weeknights feel manageable when I was still figuring out how to eat this way without spending an hour in the kitchen every night. Twelve years later, the skillet is still my most-used piece of cookware, and not because I've run out of ideas, but because some formats just work. One pan, real heat, and you're done. What I like about skillet cooking specifically is the Maillard reaction. You get ...

10 High-Carb Favorites Made Keto

10 High-Carb Favorites Made Keto

I've written six keto cookbooks at this point, and the question I still get the most isn't about macros or fasting windows, it's some version of: "Can I still eat ___?" Pancakes. Fried rice. Cinnamon rolls. Coconut shrimp. The answer is almost always yes, and I've spent a significant chunk of that time figuring out exactly how. Some of these swaps took me a dozen attempts to nail. Some came together on the first try. What I've never done is settle for a version that's just "pretty good for ...

10 Keto Copycat Takeout Recipes

10 Keto Copycat Takeout Recipes

I used to keep a stack of takeout menus in my kitchen drawer. Chinese on Fridays, Thai when I didn't feel like cooking, Indian whenever my girlfriend picked. Going keto, I figured that whole drawer was getting tossed. Turns out I was wrong. With the right swaps (cauliflower rice for white rice, almond flour for cornstarch, keto sweeteners for sugar), you can make takeout at home that tastes as good as the restaurant version. Better, actually, because the ingredients are cleaner and you're not ...

Keto Seared Salmon with Guacamole

Keto Seared Salmon with Guacamole

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. Essential fatty acids help with hormone production, support cell growth, and protect your organs. Plus, fat in a meal always tastes fantastic! Avocados are extremely high in monounsaturated fat and boast an impressive nutritional profile of nearly 20 different vitamins and minerals. Salmon is also high in fat, ...
