Keto Egg Fast: Rules, Recipes, Meal Plan, and Risks

Keto Egg Fast: Rules, Recipes, Meal Plan, and Risks

The keto egg fast is one of the most popular strategies for breaking through weight loss plateaus and accelerating fat loss.  Essentially, it is a short-term keto diet plan centered around eggs, cheese, and butter, with very few exceptions. Though this approach would make old-school cardiologists gasp, there are plenty of low-carb and keto dieters that implemented the egg fast and achieved incredible results. However, this doesn’t answer the most important question: Will the keto egg fast be ...

10 Beefy Keto Recipes: Low-Carb Beef Meals

10 Beefy Keto Recipes: Low-Carb Beef Meals

Beef is probably the protein I've leaned on most over the past decade-plus of eating keto. It's not just that it fits the macros, it's that beef actually holds up to the cooking you want to do. High heat, long braises, quick skillets. It handles all of it. I've gone through phases with chicken, pork, fish. But when I need something that fills me up and keeps me full for hours, beef is where I land. There's a reason keto and beef go together so well: the fat content lines up with what a low-carb ...

What is Polyunsaturated Fat? The Truth About This “Healthy” Fat

What is Polyunsaturated Fat? The Truth About This “Healthy” Fat

Most of our fat intake comes from three types of fatty acids: polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated. Each one has unique properties that interact with our bodies in different ways. Polyunsaturated fats, in particular, sparked the first investigations into how certain fats may be essential for optimal health, growth, and development. This led to the discovery of omega-6s, omega-3s, and what we now know as "essential fatty acids" —  which are all polyunsaturated fats. Despite the ...

Below, we’ll take a closer look at some of the best keto fruits you can eat on a low carb diet and what you should avoid. When people switch to a ketogenic diet, fruit can be an area of confusion.

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 ...

Our Top 10 Keto Muffin Recipes

Our Top 10 Keto Muffin Recipes

Ever since the end of the 18th century, American style muffins have been the perfect excuse to have something sweet and cakey for breakfast. It all began with simple ingredients like sugar and flour to make a quick sweet bread, then they started adding sweet treats like fruit and chocolate or savory foods like bacon, cheese, and herbs. The result is a delicious breakfast that everyone loves, but the flour and other carb-rich ingredients make them into a low carb keto dieters nightmare. The ...

The Best 10 Keto Bread Recipes

The Best 10 Keto Bread Recipes

Bread is one of most widely consumed foods in westernized societies. In the United States, it is the second most commonly eaten food, following closely behind grain-based desserts. This data is not surprising when you consider how many popular food items come with bread. From delicious foods that use bread as an edible food delivery mechanism like sandwiches and hamburgers to the meals that are served with a side of bread like soups, salads, and pasta, it is almost astonishing that we don't ...

Is Honey Keto? What 1 Tablespoon Actually Does to Your Carb Budget

Is Honey Keto? What 1 Tablespoon Actually Does to Your Carb Budget

No, honey is not keto. One tablespoon of raw honey contains roughly 17 grams of net carbs - which is most of your daily budget if you're keeping carbs in the 20-30g range. That's not a rounding error. That's a single drizzle wiping out the better part of a day's work.I get why people ask. Honey feels different from table sugar. It's natural, it's been used for thousands of years, and there's always someone who insists that raw or manuka honey is somehow fine because of its nutrients or ...

How Much Fat Should You Eat on a Ketogenic Diet?

How Much Fat Should You Eat on a Ketogenic Diet?

Fat is a key component of the ketogenic diet. In fact, how much fat on keto in your diet will determine whether you achieve your goals or struggle to get the scale moving. For example, If you eat too much fat, then your weight loss progress will stall, and you may even start to gain more body fat. On the other hand, If you don't eat enough, then you will lose weight at an unhealthy pace while fighting off hunger pangs and fatigue. To find the Goldilocks amount of fat you must eat to meet ...

Traveling on Keto

Traveling on Keto

Maintaining the keto way of eating while traveling: I can’t count the number of times that I've been e-mailed, messaged, or asked about this topic. It’s a common factor that when people travel, they’re just not sure if they can keep up with a high-fat ketogenic lifestyle. A few months ago, my girlfriend and I went on a small vacation through Portland and Seattle. I wanted to document all of the food I was eating to share the experience and to provide some tips and tricks with all of the ...
