How Many Carbs Per Day? The Right Number Depends on Your Goal

How Many Carbs Per Day? The Right Number Depends on Your Goal

"How many carbs per day?" is one of those questions that sounds simple until you try to answer it. The Dietary Guidelines say 225-325g. The keto community says 20-50g. Your friend who does CrossFit says something completely different. And the actual right answer depends on what you're trying to accomplish. After six cookbooks and thousands of reader questions on this exact topic, I can tell you that the number itself matters less than understanding why different ranges exist and which one fits ...

10 Flavor-Packed Keto Pork Recipes

10 Flavor-Packed Keto Pork Recipes

Pork is one of those proteins I keep coming back to after over a decade on keto. It's got range: you can go rich and slow-cooked, or fast and high-heat, and it handles bold seasoning better than most meats. The fat content is usually right where you want it for keto macros, and the price per pound is hard to argue with. The 10 recipes in this list run the full flavor spectrum. There's the Keto Crack Slaw that I've probably made more times than I can count: it's the kind of thing you throw ...

Is Too Much Protein Bad for Ketosis? The Truth Behind How Much Protein You Need on Keto

Is Too Much Protein Bad for Ketosis? The Truth Behind How Much Protein You Need on Keto

Although the primary focus of keto is to restrict carbs and eat plenty of fat, protein intake also plays a crucial part in your success. By eating too much protein, you may impair ketone production. However, keeping protein consumption low is not ideal either. So, how much protein should you eat on the keto diet? Moreover, will eating more than your recommended amount be bad for ketosis? To answer these questions, let's take a closer look at protein consumption and how it affects your ...

What to Eat on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet

What to Eat on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet

Carbohydrates are generally avoided on a ketogenic diet, but they can be utilized with hard workouts that push your body. If you sit all day and eat refined carbohydrates (like cookies, chips, and candy), your risk of heart disease and diabetes increases dramatically — bad. If you use carbohydrates as a way to fuel intense workouts or replenish your body's depleted energy stores, then you can get the most out of your body without any negative side effects — good. The same principle applies ...

Fat Boost Smoothie with Coconut Chantilly Cream

Fat Boost Smoothie with Coconut Chantilly Cream

Most days, I need a fat boost. First things that come to mind? Avocado and coconut. Avocado is perhaps one of the healthiest low carb foods you can have. Super low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and packed full of nutrients, dare I say it is a must for a low carb high fat keto diet. It’s smooth and buttery and used as a fruit in most Southeast Asian countries. As a result, it’s incorporated in a lot of sweet desserts, ice cream, and smoothies! Coconut cream has a higher fat content and makes ...

Cheating on Keto: What Actually Happens and How to Recover Fast

Cheating on Keto: What Actually Happens and How to Recover Fast

You had a birthday dinner, a work party, or just a moment of weakness in front of a plate of pasta. You ate the carbs. Now you're sitting there wondering if you just destroyed everything you've built over the past few weeks. One cheat meal does not undo weeks of keto progress. But it does trigger a set of real, measurable metabolic events that are important to understand - because knowing what's actually happening in your body makes it a lot easier to get back on track without the guilt ...

Keto Hair Loss: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It

Keto Hair Loss: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It

What do a keto dieter,  raw vegan, and backpacker have in common? If they don’t eat enough, their hair may start falling out. In other words, keto doesn’t cause hair loss directly. Instead, it is the significant shift in what and how much we eat that can cause us to lose hair. Fortunately, there is a simple solution that’ll help your hair regrow just as thick as before: eating more of the right keto foods. (Plus, you can even prevent hair loss with the same strategies!) To reach your ...

10 Easy Keto Instant Pot Recipes

10 Easy Keto Instant Pot Recipes

I got my first Instant Pot about six years into keto, and my only regret is that I waited that long. Before it, I was cooking pork chops in a cast iron pan and spending 45 minutes I didn't have on a Tuesday night. Now those same chops are done in under 20 minutes and the cleanup is one pot. That's the pitch for pressure cooking in general, not magic, just speed and hands-off time. You dump things in, set the timer, walk away. If you're doing keto and you don't own one yet, this post might push ...

10 Easy Keto Snack Recipes That’ll Beat Your Munchies

10 Easy Keto Snack Recipes That’ll Beat Your Munchies

Snacking on keto gets a bad reputation. People think it means cucumber slices and plain almonds. After years of eating this way, I can tell you that's not how it has to go. The problem isn't keto, it's that most snack recipes don't actually hit the spot. They fill a macro line without doing anything for the craving that started it. This list is different. These are the snacks I actually make when I'm hungry between meals and don't want to undo the rest of my day. The keto pizza cups alone have ...
