So I decided to go a little bit out of the ordinary last night and make a beef stew that many of you might not have experienced before. The rich flavors of citrus and beef stock combine with the deep elements of cinnamon and fish sauce to create a delicious meal. We start by searing our meat in a cast iron skillet, letting the wonderful fats caramelize and coax out the flavor. We then add all of our aromatics to cook for a moment before de-glazing with our citrus. After 5 hours in a crock ...

What is Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) & Why It’s the Most Efficient Fuel
The body has a variety of fuel sources it can use, all with different benefits and downsides.

Unfortunately, we sacrifice efficiency for speed when we burn sugar, which leads to the formation of potentially harmful molecules called free radicals. Conversely, when carb intake is limited, we began using more efficient fuel sources ...

Avocado Tuna Melt Bites
I've been on a mission lately to use up different ingredients found around most common households. There's been quite a few e-mails sent to me lately about tuna melts.

These keto tuna melt bites really fit the bill. The crispy outside matches great with the soft, creamy filling on the inside. It ...

What to Eat on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet
Carbohydrates are generally avoided on a ketogenic diet, but they can be utilized with hard workouts that push your body. If you sit all day and eat refined carbohydrates (like cookies, chips, and candy), your risk of heart disease and diabetes increases dramatically — bad. If you use carbohydrates as a way to fuel intense workouts or replenish your body's depleted energy stores, then you can get the most out of your body without any negative side effects — good. The same principle applies ...

I’m so glad I did because this dish is easy and so ...
