Pre and Post Workout Nutrition Timing

Pre and Post Workout Nutrition Timing

Working out to improve your body composition takes patience, commitment, hard work, and planning.

Justin Lost Over 60 Lbs and Finally Feels Free

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 ...

Can You Eat Pizza on Keto? The Best Low-Carb Crust Swaps

Can You Eat Pizza on Keto? The Best Low-Carb Crust Swaps

Regular pizza crust? Not keto. But keto pizza is one of the best food swaps in this entire way of eating - and I don't say that lightly after writing six cookbooks on the subject.The toppings you already love on pizza - cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives, peppers - are all perfectly fine on keto. The problem is the dough underneath them. A standard thin-crust slice packs 20-25g of net carbs, and that's before you've eaten anything else that day. Deep-dish is even worse. One slice and ...

Keto Popcorn: How to Make It Keto-friendly and Other Low-carb Alternatives

Keto Popcorn: How to Make It Keto-friendly and Other Low-carb Alternatives

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 ...

How-To: Bacon Weaving 101

I've had a lot of people asking me to do a tutorial on how to weave bacon. I know the youtube videos go by pretty quick and it might be difficult to see exactly what you need to do. A few recipes I've done so far with a bacon weave include: Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, the beautiful Crispy Stuffed Bacon Baskets, and of course the Cheddar Bacon Explosion. The MOST IMPORTANT part of bacon weaving is the pattern that you weave. Make sure that when you lay your strips, there's ...
