What is the Keto Flu & How to Remedy It?

What is the Keto Flu & How to Remedy It?

Adapting to the ketogenic diet can feel like the flu. Tiredness, fatigue, stomach pains, and dizziness are common symptoms that the ketogenic diet beginner can experience, but these symptoms don't come from a ketogenic virus or an infected mosketo (like “mosquito” — sorry, I couldn't resist). In fact, the symptoms for keto flu are not even caused by ketosis, ketogenesis, or the flu at all. The keto flu is caused by the body's response to carbohydrate restriction. Here's a quick video that ...

Macronutrients and the Ketogenic Diet

Macronutrients and the Ketogenic Diet

The three main macronutrients that are relatable to a keto diet are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. All three of these nutrients have different effects on ketosis because of how our body digests and metabolizes them. Fats are 90% ketogenic and 10% anti-ketogenic, due to the small amount of glucose that is released in the conversion of triglycerides into usable energy. Proteins are roughly ~46% ketogenic and 58% anti-ketogenic since insulin levels usually rise in response to the ...

Low Carb Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Low Carb Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Loosely based on Chinese sweet and sour chicken, these sweet and sour meatballs are always an instant hit! I’ve made these when I wanted to make a quick tasty meal. Or, even if I’m going to a party and have to bring a dish to share. Just toss on top of some cauliflower rice for a complete meal, or serve the meatballs using some toothpicks for a snack. I wanted to create a simple meatball recipe to go with the sauce. I kept the meatballs simple by using parmesan cheese and onion powder to ...

Italian Lemon Sponge Cake

Italian Lemon Sponge Cake

Ugh! I'm really sorry I've been so slow with updating the website lately. It's been pretty hectic over here. My aunt and cousin came over from Spain and we all went down to Key West for a week to catch some rays and enjoy the ocean. Success! On another front, I'm pretty much done with the cookbook. It's in my designers hands right now and we're almost complete with the PDF version. Next we'll move onto the Kindle version and I'll get it up for sale. I'm really happy with the way this one ...

Keto Meal Replacement Shake

Keto Meal Replacement Shake

Most meal replacement shakes are far from keto-friendly. They often rely on high-sugar fruits and carb-rich dairy products, which add enough carbs to slow your weight loss progress on keto. However, don't let these high-carb options fool you into thinking you can't have a meal replacement shake. In fact, you are only a few ingredient swaps away from cutting the carbs and making a delicious shake that'll keep you satisfied throughout the day. With our keto meal replacement shake recipe, ...

Keto Hair Loss: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It

Keto Hair Loss: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It

What do a keto dieter,  raw vegan, and backpacker have in common? If they don’t eat enough, their hair may start falling out. In other words, keto doesn’t cause hair loss directly. Instead, it is the significant shift in what and how much we eat that can cause us to lose hair. Fortunately, there is a simple solution that’ll help your hair regrow just as thick as before: eating more of the right keto foods. (Plus, you can even prevent hair loss with the same strategies!) To reach your ...

The Ketogenic Diet: A Keto Guide for Beginners

What is a Keto Diet? A keto diet is well known for being a low carb diet, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. It’s referred to as many different names – ketogenic diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat (LCHF), etc. When you eat something high in carbs, your body will produce glucose and insulin. Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy so that it will be chosen over any other energy source. Insulin is produced to ...

Weight Gain on Keto: Common Causes & Simple Solutions

Weight Gain on Keto: Common Causes & Simple Solutions

For most people on keto, weight loss is the easy part. Keeping the weight off, however, is the hard part. The keto diet is often described as the antidote for the vicious cycle of weight loss and weight gain, but it isn't failproof. Though keto can indeed suppress appetite and make fat loss easier to achieve, this may not happen for everyone at first. Fortunately,  if you’re struggling with hunger or weight gain on keto, a simple lifestyle adjustment is often all it takes to get you back on ...
