Got a craving for starch? Missing the good ol’ meat and mashed potatoes? One quick search for the carbs in potatoes, and you’ll know exactly why mashed potatoes should be avoided on the keto diet. One serving is typically all it takes to push you over your carb limit for the day, spike your blood sugar levels, and kick you out of ketosis. By simply swapping out the white potato for cauliflower, this keto recipe reduces the net carbs in mashed potatoes substantially — from ~25 grams to only ...

I have yo yo dieted for many years, and boy do I love a great competition. So I would join as many weight loss competitions as there were and I won a few, only to gain the weight back! Then my health started to suffer, GI issues, heart arrhythmia, and I needed to get a hysterectomy. I gained lots of weight. At my highest weight ever I blamed my gain on my health issues, when all along my health issues were a product of the weight I had gained. I found every time I lost weight I limited carbs, ...

At the end of the year, I realized I had been so busy with being a Mom, wife, friend and employee that I had let myself go. I didn't like how I felt or how I looked and decided I would go into the new year putting myself care first. I found out about keto through a Paleo Facebook group and haven't looked back. I started at almost 300 pounds and in 2 years have lost 145 pounds. After those 2 years, I started lifting weights to help with building muscle and loose skin. I started using Instagram ...

I began my weight loss journey a couple of years ago. I'm an elementary school teacher and at time time I worked on the second floor of my school. Daily out of breath only half way up, and needing to pull myself the rest of the way. I would grab a Diet Pepsi, my poor attempt at trying to lose weight, and collapse at my desk as I caught my breath. The school was planning a field trip from South Carolina to Washington, D.C. and I volunteered as a teacher chaperon. I bought new shoes to start ...

Cancer remains the number 2 killer in the United States, causing 22% of all deaths (just behind heart disease which is at 23%). The good news, however, is that the overall cancer incidence has been stable in women and declining steadily in men, and our ability to treat various types of cancer keeps improving. As all aspects of cancer research and treatment evolve, cancer incidence should start to decline significantly regardless of gender, and our ability to treat every type of cancer will ...

Ham, Ricotta, and Spinach Casserole

February 21, 2017 by 9 Comments

During a busy week, I like to bake a crustless egg casserole for a quick grab and go breakfast. What’s great about making an egg based casserole is that it’s also very versatile, cheap, and filling. You can change up the meats, the vegetables, and even the spices for a change in flavor. And, you can have it at any meal. This version of my quick egg casserole has chunks of diced ham, ricotta cheese, and spinach. The ricotta cheese helps create a cheesy “crust” when blended with a couple ...

I've been following a low-carb diet since May, and have lost over 40 pounds so far! I still have a way to go, but the energy I have already is incredible. It's easier for me to do day-to-day things, and I have become far more active. My skin has also cleared up, and some medical problems I was having have disappeared. Eating a keto diet has hugely helped my relationship with food, and I am living with a clearer mind and less anxiety! Friends and family have told me what a difference they can see ...
