The Best & Worst Keto Oils for Cooking, Drizzling, and What to Avoid

All plant-based oils have zero carbs and protein, making them the purest source of fat you can have on the keto diet. However, this doesn’t mean that everything in the cooking oil aisle can be considered as a good "keto oil" for your low-carb lifestyle. Though you can lose fat on keto regardless of what fats you consume, the oils you use will play a crucial role in ensuring optimal health, wellbeing, and sustained ketosis.

Natalie Lost Almost 100 Lbs and Went From a Size 22 to a 14

I was a size 22 and I broke my ankle walking... you would think that would be enough to wake me up, but it wasn't. I was in a rush one morning and went to walk down some deep steps at home made from rock and went straight down to the bottom. I kept falling over doing basic activities. I am also a preprimary teacher and I spend most of my day on the floor with my students. I couldn't get up without pulling myself up. It was exhausting. I needed something to change. I had tried every diet under ...

10 Keto Meal Prep Ideas: Low Carb Freezer Meals

10 Keto Meal Prep Ideas: Low Carb Freezer Meals

Meal prep is either the thing that saves your week or the thing you meant to do. After years of eating keto, I've landed on a middle ground: keep a rotation of 8-10 recipes you actually like making in bulk, and don't overthink it. These aren't the sad container-of-iceberg-lettuce kind of meal prep. Most of these are real comfort food: the nacho chicken casserole alone has gotten me through more busy weeks than I can count. A few of these freeze well enough that I'll double the batch ...
