Keto Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Keto Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

November 10, 2013 by 4 Comments

Call it a fat bomb if you will, but I'll call it my temptation atomic bomb. Chocolatey, peanut-buttery, rich, and purely delicious. This is the keto ice cream that I always make when I am having a craving for something sweet. All that fat-filled, creamy richness will fill you up in no time and have your sweet tooth put to sleep in even less. We're going to use cottage cheese to obtain the creaminess that ice cream is known for, but with only a fraction of the carbs. Cottage cheese!? THAT ...

What to Eat on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet

What to Eat on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet

August 5, 2017 by 5 Comments

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 ...

I've been making so many sweets lately that I had to take a bit of a break and allow the leftovers to be eaten before making more. Being on a keto diet, it's hard for me to keep eating sweets, even if they are low carb, because I find my cravings start to come back after I eat them. Low and behold, everything is gone and I wanted to make something I haven't done in a while. I settled on brownies because I haven't really gotten around to making a cake, and I have only been making cookies ...

Caesar Salad Bacon Baskets

Caesar Salad Bacon Baskets

May 31, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Crisp bacon baskets stuffed with a quick Caesar salad. This fun lunch option is a great way to switch things up. When you fold these to take a bite, you've essentially created Caesar salad tacos - and there's no judgment here on that. These baskets are savory overload. The bacon, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing combine salt and umami. The touch of tomato is not traditional for a Caesar but brings a welcome element of freshness to each bite. I mention this in this again in the steps, but ...

Stephanie Dropped Nearly 100 Pounds Using Keto

October 14, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Growing up I was always a little heavy. My mom kept a ton of junk food around the house and let us eat whatever we wanted, but it wasn’t until high school when my weight gain ballooned. In 1 year, I gained 80lbs from a medication I was put on for depression; at 17 I was 230lbs. Since then, nothing I tried could get me down to a healthy weight or keep it that way. I would count calories and macros and exercise 5 days a week, and the weight would go down and back up again even if I didn’t stop ...

They are guaranteed to satisfy any chocolate craving and one of the nicest ways I have found to increase my fat intake at 93% fat and about 2.5 net carbs per serving. I make these in my mini muffin tins using silicone cups but you don’t necessarily need the silicone wrappers. It just makes them easier to remove. I use a ...

A quick search for weight loss tips will yield thousands of options, from fasting to fad diets to keto diet plans.

Long-term studies have found that most people struggle to stay on their diet and usually gain the weight back. This is true for every diet from keto to low-fat. So, if another 30-day meal plan, cleanse, or diet is not the answer, then what is? We developed the ...
