I frequently get asked the question "How do I eat more fat?" While in a perfect world, you can eat globs of coconut oil off a spoon, it's just not that attractive of an offer to most ketoers out there. Instead, you can create a keto salad dressing, pack it on top of a salad full of greens (micronutrient filled), and enjoy to your hearts content! Instead of worrying about how many carbs a dressing has, or which to choose from - you could make your own in just about the same amount of time. ...

Keto Bites: Sausage, Bacon & Egg Baskets
December 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I've been having this notion in my mind that I must create some sort of vessel to stuff things inside. My first thought was to make a basket out of bacon, but as you saw in my previous recipe, it didn't work as I thought it would. This time I figured I'd add sausage, and it seems to have worked! I was going to add a binder, but I didn't see it necessary since it stuck together with fat after a grind in the food processor. A food processor is a great tool to have around the kitchen. You can ...

The Keto Alcohol Options that Won’t Hurt Your Diet (And the Ones that Will)
October 28, 2013 by 61 Comments
Having a social life on a ketogenic diet is something that many find hard to do, but don't worry, there are a handful of low-carb and keto alcohol options! There are carbs pretty much everywhere you look, and that's especially the case when you're in a bar. Cutting out all the beer and wine is a great start, but sticking with hard liquor is usually the best choice. Even though hard liquor is made from natural sugars, grains, potatoes, and fruits – during the fermentation and distillation process ...

Sam Lost Over 30 Pounds and 9 Inches on His Waist
October 13, 2019 by Leave a Comment
My story begins in October of 2017 when my fiance and I were 4 months away from being married. After a short trip back to her hometown and running into her ex-boyfriend, she called off the engagement, moved out, and moved back to Indiana to live happily with him. That was when I was at my heaviest. 217 pounds. I already was in the gym 5 days a week, but my diet consisted of eating healthier but not monitoring macros. After she left, I had to make a change. To live better, not to win her back, ...

Bacon Infused Sugar Snap Peas
February 17, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Sugar snap peas aren't that common in keto cooking, but they are a delicious mixture of textures that keep you coming back for more. Although they run a little bit high in carbs, every once in a while they are worth it. I normally have bacon fat in the fridge, waiting to be used for baconnaise or just general sauteing - so why not use it for our vegetables too? These save well for me in the fridge - their crispness lasts for about 24 hours in the fridge, then they start to turn soggy. So if ...

Bacon, Red Pepper, and Mozzarella Frittata
May 14, 2014 by 8 Comments
I can't take full credit for this recipe, Gordon Ramsey definitely gave me inspiration with his bacon, red pepper, pea, and spring onion frittata. But, he didn't add enough fats for me so I manipulated the recipe a bit to allow for more fats (mushrooms help out with the absorption of those) to create an absolutely delicious breakfast or brunch for you to share and enjoy! Heck, even I don't want to share this, so if you're like me, you can just portion this out into 6 servings and eat it for ...

Justin Lost Over 60 Lbs and Finally Feels Free
October 22, 2019 by Leave a Comment
In May of 2014 I was 33 years old and 271 lbs. The largest I have ever been in my life. At this point, I did not have any noticeable health problems. I just hated being fat. I wanted to lose weight because I wanted to like the way I looked. A co-worker of mine told me about a book called Carb Nite. This booked outlined an ultra low carb diet followed by one "Carb Night" each week. I gave this a try for close to a year and got down to 215 lbs eating this way and working out. Fast forward a ...

Keto Popcorn: How to Make It Keto-friendly and Other Low-carb Alternatives
April 14, 2021 by Leave a Comment
Corn and keto don’t work well together. Whether it is categorized as a grain or a starchy vegetable, you’ll find corn in the “Do Not Eat” category of any keto diet food list. This is because each cup of corn is packed with over 35 grams of net carbs. That is enough to keep most of us from ketosis! That said, there is a simple trick we can use to convert ketosis-disrupting corn into a satisfying keto-friendly serving of popcorn: Add heat. If you are looking to indulge in this popular ...
