Keto Diet vs. Atkins Diet: What’s the Difference?

Keto Diet vs. Atkins Diet: What’s the Difference?

The ketogenic diet and the Atkins diet have both helped thousands of people achieve incredible fat loss results and improve health. However, there is much controversy surrounding which approach is best for weight loss, how healthy they are, and how they work. Both diets focus on restricting carbs to lose fat, but the Atkins diet approaches this from a different angle than the keto diet. The hallmark (and benchmark) of the keto diet is sustaining nutritional ketosis, while the Atkins diet ...

New Major Study on Low Carb Implications

New Major Study on Low Carb Implications

Obesity is a rising problem that is increasing on a yearly basis all over the world. It commonly increases a person's risk for higher cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and many other health problems. Just a few days ago, we saw a year long study published in a peer-reviewed journal that was done comparing the differences between low-carbohydrate diets vs. low-fat diets. Although there's already plenty of studies that have been done on low-carbohydrate diets, I thought this one cemented the ...

Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs

Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs

These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had, keto or not. They're juicy, and they're full of cheese and bacon. What's not to like here? You really have a choice of where to go with this recipe. You don't have to use the BBQ sauce, but it pairs up extremely well with this recipe. You can add salsa and go for a Southwestern vibe, or add some homemade alfredo sauce and go for a very rich dish. I like my BBQ sauce to be spicy and tangy, so if you like more of a subtle BBQ sauce you ...

Keto Chicken Thighs – 10 Recipes and 4 Essential Rules

Keto Chicken Thighs – 10 Recipes and 4 Essential Rules

It is hard not to like chicken thighs. Despite being one of the cheapest meats, they are packed with more flavor and healthy fats than costlier cuts like chicken breast. Surprisingly enough, the benefits of chicken thighs only increase as the cost goes down. By opting for bone-in, skin-on thighs — instead of the more expensive boneless, skinless option — you can reap the benefits of collagen and bone broth without having to pay extra for keto supplements.  To help you get the most out of ...

Keto Friendly Bacon Jam

Keto Friendly Bacon Jam

So, we all love bacon, right? Bacon is a delicious treat we get to eat on a regular basis...but it just doesn't seem like I get enough of it as is. I wouldn't mind having some bacon with every meal. Well, now we can! Sorry vegetarians, but this one is not going to be for you. You can pretty much use this stuff on anything savory. I spread it on keto breads, spread it on frittata muffins, and top my dinners with it. It's just plain delicious! All of the flavors together create a sweet, ...

10 Keto Dishes for Busy People: Fast Low-Carb Recipes

These aren't weekend project recipes. They're for the nights when you get home late, you're still keeping it keto, and ...

Mythbusting: Training On a Keto Diet

Mythbusting: Training On a Keto Diet

There’s a number of myths, misconceptions, and misinformation floating around that are confusing a lot of people about the ketogenic diet. They're proposing ideas like "carbs are absolutely necessary to build muscle" and "The ketogenic diet hurts exercise performance" that take a small finding and exaggerate its meaning. With all of the conflicting information about these topics, it is easy to become discouraged and think that you can't get the health benefits of keto without losing muscle ...

I have had my fair share of salads this year and I figured it is time to change it up a bit. I made this salad with hot shrimp and a hot dressing.

Yields 4 servings of Keto Shrimp Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing The Preparation Shrimp Salad: 6 ounces spring mix 2 ounces bacon, chopped 2 large hard-boiled egg, chopped 16 ounces ...
