You had a pizza night. Or a birthday cake. Or a weekend that turned into three days of eating whatever was on the table. Now you're staring at the scale, feeling the bloat, and wondering how bad the damage really is. Here's the short answer: it's probably not as bad as you think.

Garlic and Herb Monkey “Bread”
Yes, I know that it is sort of a stretch to compare eggplant to bread. Once it’s covered in cheese I can say with certainty that you won’t miss the gluten. Especially when it comes to this keto spin on traditional garlic and herb monkey bread! Dig in to melty mozzarella cheese that encases each piece of cubed eggplant, and holds it together in a golden brown shell.

My LDL had gone up. The conversation that followed was the same one tens of thousands of people have every year after going low-carb.The problem is that most of those conversations are based on a framework built for a different diet entirely. Standard cholesterol interpretation was developed in the context ...
