Complete Guide to Keto Camping, Hiking, and Backpacking

January 6, 2021 by Leave a Comment

There is no better time to get out and surround ourselves with nature, but what are you supposed to eat? Ironically, the most popular camping foods, meals, and snacks are so highly processed that they bear little resemblance to real food. From the chips to the sugar-filled trail mix, the hotdog buns to the deli salads (and let’s not forget about s’mores), most classic camping foods are packed with processed carbs and far from being healthy. That being said, it is surprisingly simple to ...

Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Pie

February 27, 2014 by 2 Comments

I know you all want something that's crusty on the outside, and delightfully soft on the inside. This savory breakfast pie has all of that, and then some. Sausage and cheese flows throughout the pie to bring a great sense of taste and texture between each bite. The top is crusted so you get just enough crunch to keep you coming back for more. Rosemary and lemon are two of my favorite combinations in savory cooking, and I certainly don't eat it enough. Though the sausage was a Bacon and ...

Hi! Here's where I am so far.... I started keto February 12, 2015. At 5'7", I weighed 272, and I am now 176. That's a loss of 96 pounds, and counting, in just over six months! I am thinking 150 will be a good weight for me - We'll see. My weight loss has slowed a bit now. I am going to increase cardio (5k walk/run interval app is my fav), and I will add resistance training, as much as I hate lifting weights! Up to this point, I feel like the diet has been easy and the weight kinda ...
