Top 10 Foods for the Ketogenic Diet

Top 10 Foods for the Ketogenic Diet

Decades of research indicates that high-fat, low-carb keto-friendly foods, the very foods we once thought were destroying our health, may be doing just the opposite. Studies upon studies on the ketogenic diet have been discovering benefits for people with all types of conditions, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease. How could a diet filled with so much cholesterol and fat be so good for us? Because many of the foods that we once thought were ...

Hello World. My Journey From 350 Pounds to 190.

Where I Am Now Let's first start out with some basics. Now some of this may seem like unnecessary information but comparing it to my past, it's meaningful but that'll become more apparent as you keep reading. I currently sit at 190 pounds and have been at this weight for about a year now. I am 6'4 and have about 9.5% body fat. I lead a pretty active lifestyle in comparison to what it used to be. I frequent the gym 3-4 a week, go out to social gatherings another 2-3 times a week and work 5 ...

Tracy Jumped Over the 50 Pound Hurdle!

Here's the story of Tracy, another very inspirational story that came across us at Ketogenic Living Facebook Group. Take it away Tracy - thank you for sharing! My name is Tracy Daubert, and I am a 23 year old Early Learning Educator. I can honestly say that I have always struggled with my weight, even in my early years. I remember trying to lose weight even as early as grade 6; I was constantly uncomfortable in my body and had very low self-esteem. That low self-esteem continued well into my ...

Spicy Jalapeno Poppers

Spicy Jalapeno Poppers

Jalapeno poppers are a great way to get flavor and fats into your dinner. If you're tired of oily meals and fatty soups, then this will be the perfect break for you. The cream cheese stays soft and delicious on the inside while the heat of the pepper comes through on every bite. You can easily change up the flavor profile of this by changing the type of cheese you use, the spices that go into the cheese mixture, or chopping up some extra cooked bacon and stuffing that inside also. From prep ...

Gillian Lost Over 120 Pounds Using Keto

Gillian Lost Over 120 Pounds Using Keto

My name is Gillian Bredenhann and I live in South Africa. I have been obese for most of my life. Approximately 3 years ago, I decided that I was tired of being unhappy. Tired of watching everyone swim in the summer days, but I was obviously self-conscious and not going to get into a bathing costume. Tired of having to buy size 24 clothing. Just plain tired. I weighed 118kg at my highest. Initially, I started by eating low-fat meals, and really just cutting down on all the foods that all of us ...

Derrick Dropped 200lbs and Gained Control

My story starts like a lot of you. For decades I had used food as a coping mechanism for stress, depression, and anxiety. Eventually I ran into health issues including sleep apnea, pre type 2 diabetes, sky high blood pressure, and kidney stones. After doing some heavy research, I decided to go into the Keto diet. As a Strongman competitor, I had the exercise part down pat. My major issue is I was always hungry. I could eat every hour with no issue. I needed help with being satisfied with my ...

Keto Mississippi Roast

Keto Mississippi Roast

This keto Mississippi roast can be shoved in your slow cooker early in the day for a hands free but tasty dinner. The shredded beef is punched up with peppery flavors and peperoncinis that almost melt into the meat. There are a number of recipes for this roast style on the internet, but I created this version to not use any spice packages. You can use ingredients that you probably have in your pantry already. I also like to use the sliced peppers instead of the whole peppers. Family ...

How Many Carbs Should You Eat to Get Into Ketosis?

How Many Carbs Should You Eat to Get Into Ketosis?

Limiting carbs is one of the easiest ways to get into ketosis. It doesn’t require fasting; it doesn’t even require you to eat fewer calories — all you have to do is restrict your carbohydrates and eat just enough protein (and not too much) to stimulate fat burning and ketone production. Other factors like fat consumption, stress, and activity levels are important to consider as well, but knowing how many carbs you need to eat to get into ketosis is a good place to start. How Many Carbs ...

Cast Iron Kitchen Sink Frittata

Cast Iron Kitchen Sink Frittata

I've been wanting to do a frittata in a cast iron skillet for a long time, but could never do it. I'm so glad I finally got around to it because the crust this thing created is phenomenal. A little bit crunchy, and then a whole lot of egg, meat, and cheese. I recently got my cast iron skillet off of amazon. It's pre-seasoned, but if you buy one (and I highly suggest it), you should re-season it yourself. Wash it with only water and salt. Wipe it down with olive oil or bacon fat and bake it at ...
