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 ...

Ketogenic Diet & Cancer: Interpreting the Research for You
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.

Ham, Ricotta, and Spinach Casserole
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.

They're great microwaved, re-heated in the oven, or just plain cold (which is my favorite). Today we're going to make a ketogenic friendly white pizza frittata. Traditionally, a white pizza is the dough and cheese on top (in a nutshell). Instead, we use different cheeses in the frittata base, and top with a delicious mozzarella and pepperoni combo.

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.

Bacon Avocado Muffins
When you think of muffins you generally reminisce on the overly sweet, sugar-laden pastries you can buy in the coffee shop. You don't usually see yourself eating a savory muffin, especially one that's stuffed full of avocado and bacon. Especially not me. I never used to be much of a fan of avocados growing up (even though I had a tree), but recently found a new love for them - and can't seem to get enough of them anymore. These keto muffins are absolutely awesome. You know when you wake up a ...
