Savory Sage and Cheddar Waffles

Savory Sage and Cheddar Waffles

November 8, 2016 by 9 Comments

Waffles might be a breakfast food, slathered in sweet syrup, but they also make a great savory treat. Waffles are ideal for tartines (open faced stacked sandwiches). They also make great sandwiches filled with your favorite meats and cheeses. This version makes a terrific “bread.” The sage and cheddar cheese flavors could compliment a wide range of sandwich combinations. The key to making these waffles with success is not over-filling the waffle iron. The batter is thick and doesn’t ...

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 ...

Kasey Lost Over 80 Lbs and Finally Feels Alive

I’ve always been the fat kid and have struggled with my weight my entire life. It wasn't until I started to get really serious with Crossfit and a lower-carbohydrate existence that I started to actually transform not just my body, but my mindset as well. I remember in 2007, I stepped on the scale at over 260lbs. I remember talking with my wife about joining some cardio-kickboxing class that was going to cost FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS for 10 weeks (that seemed like a lot to pre-Crossfit me?). I did ...

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 ...

January 22, 2020 by Leave a Comment

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
