How to Speed Up Ketosis: 5 Strategies That Actually Work

How to Speed Up Ketosis: 5 Strategies That Actually Work

The typical window for entering ketosis is 2 to 4 days when you cut carbs to 20-30g per day. But plenty of people make mistakes that push them toward the longer end of that window - or past it entirely. Knowing how to speed up ketosis means understanding what's slowing you down.I've been living keto full-time for well over a decade, and the first week is still the most common place people stumble. Not because keto is complicated, but because the transition from burning glucose to burning fat ...

Complete Guide to Keto Friendly Beverages & Energy Drinks

Complete Guide to Keto Friendly Beverages & Energy Drinks

Drinks tend to be the sneakiest sources of calories and sugar in our diets.  Fruit juices (including freshly pressed juice), sodas, and even your favorite specialty coffee drink are all filled with so much sugar that they increase your likelihood of gaining fat while making it difficult for your body to get into ketosis. With all of the confusing marketing terms like "low-carb," "low-sugar," "natural," etc. it is hard to tell what drinks are actually keto-friendly and what drinks are just ...

Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD): An In-depth Look

Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD): An In-depth Look

The Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD), simply put, is a standard keto diet that is supplemented with carbohydrate intake around your workout times. That means any day you exercise, you will typically be consuming pre workout carbs. The TKD is meant to improve exercise performance for high-intensity workouts or extended bouts of activity. On the other hand, if you are sedentary or only do low-moderate intensity exercise, then the standard ketogenic diet is all you need. For more about targeted ...

10 Easy Keto Dinner Meals for Busy Weeknights

10 Easy Keto Dinner Meals for Busy Weeknights

I started keto back in 2014, and I've gotten pretty good at figuring out which dinners actually happen on a Tuesday night versus which ones I'm kidding myself about. The reality is that most weeknights I've got about 30 minutes, questionable motivation, and whatever's in the fridge. That's the whole constraint. And I've learned that the recipes I actually cook on those nights have a few things in common: minimal cleanup, reliable results, and enough fat and protein that I'm not hungry two hours ...

10 Keto Breakfast Recipes That Aren’t Just Eggs

10 Keto Breakfast Recipes That Aren’t Just Eggs

Eggs are fine. I eat them probably four days a week. But after over a decade on keto, I know what happens around month three: you open the fridge, see the egg carton, and close it again. That's not a diet problem. That's a variety problem. The good news is that keto breakfast doesn't have to mean scrambled eggs with bacon on repeat. These 10 recipes cover everything from the cinnamon roll waffle I make when I want something that actually feels like a treat, to the meal replacement shake I throw ...

The Best 10 Keto Bread Recipes

The Best 10 Keto Bread Recipes

Bread is one of most widely consumed foods in westernized societies. In the United States, it is the second most commonly eaten food, following closely behind grain-based desserts. This data is not surprising when you consider how many popular food items come with bread. From delicious foods that use bread as an edible food delivery mechanism like sandwiches and hamburgers to the meals that are served with a side of bread like soups, salads, and pasta, it is almost astonishing that we don't ...

Our Top 10 Keto Muffin Recipes

Our Top 10 Keto Muffin Recipes

Ever since the end of the 18th century, American style muffins have been the perfect excuse to have something sweet and cakey for breakfast. It all began with simple ingredients like sugar and flour to make a quick sweet bread, then they started adding sweet treats like fruit and chocolate or savory foods like bacon, cheese, and herbs. The result is a delicious breakfast that everyone loves, but the flour and other carb-rich ingredients make them into a low carb keto dieters nightmare. The ...

Toasted Coconut Lemon Squares

Toasted Coconut Lemon Squares

Summer is in full swing, for me anyway, and there are very few recipes that I am willing to crank up my oven and sweat it out just for something sweet. These keto fat bomb lemon squares are one of those recipes. Not just because lemon squares (aka lemon bars) are a beloved dessert staple that has transcended time and potlucks everywhere, but because these are Toasted Coconut Lemon Squares and everyone knows that the sweet and salty crunch of coconut makes everything better. Traditional ...

Shirataki Noodles: How to Cook Them and Their Health Benefits

Shirataki Noodles: How to Cook Them and Their Health Benefits

These noodles are becoming increasingly popular as a low-carb, ketogenic pasta replacement, but what is the story behind these keto-friendly noodles? Shirataki noodles — also known by other names like miracle noodles, glucomannan noodles, konjac noodles, or konnyaku noodles — are gelatinous and translucent traditional Japanese noodles common in Asian Cuisine. They are made from the konjac plant which is ground and shaped into various types of pasta and rice — but don't be fooled, these ...

Are Pork Rinds Keto? The Many Benefits Of This Zero Carb Snack

Are Pork Rinds Keto? The Many Benefits Of This Zero Carb Snack

Yes, pork rinds are keto-friendly and used widely by people on low-carb diets. That said, it’s still easy to be fooled into thinking that this humble keto snack food is unhealthy. Though they are crisp like chips (and are typically found in the same grocery store aisle), pork rinds share very little else in common with those high-carb options. In fact, unflavored pork rinds are one of the few zero-carb snacks you can eat on the ketogenic diet. Plus, they can be used as a keto substitute ...
