Ketogenic Diet Risks: Is Keto Worth It?

Ketogenic Diet Risks: Is Keto Worth It?

It's simple: cut the carbs, increase the fat, and you will be on track to following a highly effective weight loss diet. However, as with any major dietary change, significantly restricting your carbs will increase your risk for certain short-term and long-term side effects — some of which will go away with minor adjustments while others will provide you with a clue that keto isn't a healthy diet for you. To clear up any confusion you may have about the risks of the keto diet, let's take a ...

Low Carb Cinnamon Orange Scones

Low Carb Cinnamon Orange Scones

When I was growing up in England, scones were a staple in my house. But, they didn't have these fancy triangular shapes; rather, they were round, podgy pieces of dough that you cut in half and stick double cream and jam inside. I've become Americanized since though, and wanted to create something that most of the US folks have seen (and like). Triangles or not, scones are definitely a delicious pastry to enjoy with your morning coffee :) I just have to make a confession to everyone and first ...

The Best & Worst Keto Oils for Cooking, Drizzling, and What to Avoid

The Best & Worst Keto Oils for Cooking, Drizzling, and What to Avoid

All plant-based oils have zero carbs and protein, making them the purest source of fat you can have on the keto diet. However, this doesn’t mean that everything in the cooking oil aisle can be considered as a good "keto oil" for your low-carb lifestyle. Though you can lose fat on keto regardless of what fats you consume, the oils you use will play a crucial role in ensuring optimal health, wellbeing, and sustained ketosis. Since fat will be your primary source of energy, choosing the right ...

Sue Lost 96 lbs in Six Months

Sue Lost 96 lbs in Six Months

Hi! Here's where I am so far.... I started keto February 12, 2015. At 5'7", I weighed 272, and I am now 176. That's a loss of 96 pounds, and counting, in just over six months! I am thinking 150 will be a good weight for me - We'll see. My weight loss has slowed a bit now. I am going to increase cardio (5k walk/run interval app is my fav), and I will add resistance training, as much as I hate lifting weights! Up to this point, I feel like the diet has been easy and the weight kinda ...

Karla and Juan Carlos Lost Over 100 Lbs Together!

Hello my dear fellow keto community. My name is Karla Ugarte and I am a 45 year old elementary teacher from Hidalgo, Texas. All my life I have been morbidly obese since I was a toddler. I used to be in tons of diets all the time. I took many weight loss medications that only made my problem worse and make me gain more pounds every time I failed. I always felt that nothing would ever work for me and felt very miserable, depressed and tired all the time. After I got married I developed more ...

Kayla Lost Over 30 Lbs. and 10% Body Fat

Kayla Lost Over 30 Lbs. and 10% Body Fat

Hello! My keto journey started in June 2016, but the research started long before that back in April 2016. I took 2-3 months to study and research the ketogenic diet to understand the "rules of the road", meal planning, success stories and all of the ins and outs. I was on a macro counting diet prior to this WOE and I was eating six times a day. The first two weeks, I made a SUPER slow transition as I was just getting used to eating less often and how my meals were planned, ultimately I wish ...

Coconut Flour vs. Almond Flour — Everything You Need to Know

With coconut flour and almond flour, you can make pancakes, cookies, bread, muffins, pizza, and even waffles that are both healthy and delicious. In fact, they are the feature flours for anyone following a ketogenic, paleo, low-carb, or gluten-free diet — allowing us to satisfy almost any craving without slipping back into our old eating habits. As with any food, however, there are some crucial caveats to be aware of before using these flours. After considering these concerns, we find ...

The Guide to Keto For Women: Lose Weight & Improve Health at Any Age

The Guide to Keto For Women: Lose Weight & Improve Health at Any Age

The keto diet is so different from other weight loss diet plans that it tends to spark concern, particularly regarding women’s health. There is no doubt that carb restriction can promote substantial amounts of fat loss for many women, but its impact on hormone levels, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause is often misunderstood. This naturally begs the question: Do keto weight loss results come at a cost, or is the diet a win-win for women's health? To help answer this critical question, ...

Best Low Carb Tortillas

Best Low Carb Tortillas

I will be sharing some keto recipes that call for low carb tortillas in the near future, so I thought I’d share my take on a popular version making the blog rounds. They’re a little hard to work with, but I’ve got a little trick that will help you make near-perfect tortillas every time. One recipe worth checking out now is the keto breakfast tacos, which skip the psyllium shell entirely and use melted mozzarella cheese as the taco shell, filled with bacon, eggs, and avocado. Yields 10 ...

My name is Lucas. I've taken 37 trips around the Sun. I am the husband to a wonderful homemaking wife who educates our 10 children at home.
