How to Get Back Into Ketosis: A Step-by-Step Recovery Guide

How to Get Back Into Ketosis: A Step-by-Step Recovery Guide

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. Your body didn't forget how to burn fat. You temporarily refilled your glycogen stores, spiked insulin, and paused ketone production. That's a metabolic speed bump, not a reset to zero. For most people who've been ...

Is Greek Yogurt Keto? Carbs & Best Picks

Is Greek Yogurt Keto? Carbs & Best Picks

Yes, plain Greek yogurt is keto-friendly. A standard 6-ounce (170g) serving of plain whole milk Greek yogurt contains about 5-8g of net carbs, which fits inside a 20-30g daily carb budget without much trouble. The high protein content - around 15g per serving - is a bonus that makes it one of the more useful dairy options on keto.The key word there is plain. Flavored Greek yogurt is a completely different product from a carb standpoint. A single cup of vanilla or strawberry Greek yogurt can run ...

Garlic and Herb Monkey “Bread”

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. The outside stays soft due to the texture and water content of the eggplant, but you will get a little crust on the edge and ...

Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (Crack Slaw)

Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (Crack Slaw)

Egg rolls are delicious. They're crispy, packed full of flavor, and easy to eat, but they are far from being keto-friendly. At first, I thought it would be impossible to emulate an egg roll on keto. However, when I took the first bite of this egg roll in a bowl (AKA crack slaw), I forgot all about the wrapper. Now, whenever the craving hits, I know I can whip up a keto egg roll in a bowl in half the time it takes to get takeout. Are Egg Rolls Keto? Egg rolls are not keto-friendly.  They ...

When I started eating keto in 2013, my doctor looked at my cholesterol panel and did that slow nod - the kind that means he was about to recommend a statin. My total cholesterol had gone up. 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 ...

What Are Omega 3 Fatty Acids?

Omega-3 fatty acids are a special type of fat molecule. As a triglyceride, they consist of a small compound called glycerol (C3H8O3) attached to three chains of carbon atoms called fatty acids. They are a polyunsaturated fat, which means that they contain more than one carbon-carbon double bonds. In contrast, monounsaturated fats contain only one carbon-carbon double bond while saturated fats contain no carbon-carbon double bonds. Fatty acids generally have two ends: a carboxylic acid, which ...
