Emily Lost 30 Lbs and Got Her Energy Back

I have been active, involved and passionate about sports since I was young. In high school, I was the first female on the wrestling team and was varsity for three years. I attended wrestling camp in summer, and was given nutrition seminars and taught the food pyramid/low-fat school of thought. It was drilled into my way of thinking that fat is bad...I drank skim milk, ate lean protein like chicken and fish, and deprived myself of lots of junk food that most teenagers eat. Making my weight ...

Keto Diet Plan: The Best and Worst Low Carb Sweeteners

Keto Diet Plan: The Best and Worst Low Carb Sweeteners

As with most "low carb" products, you will have to be cautious of the ingredients in the ...

Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam

When it comes to keto, jam definitely isn't the first thing that pops into your head. But, making some new sweet sauces can definitely be within your grasp. To top it all off, you can add plenty of fats to really bring the macros up to par. We use MCT Oil here because of the liquid properties that it has. When you store the jam in the fridge, it will continue to stay as a sauce and not harden up (as it would if you used coconut oil). These's two main flavor components that I'd describe ...

I quickly fell into a cycle of eating my sorrows for being picked on, as well as stress eating for comfort when I faced any difficult situation. I will ...

The Benefits of The Ketogenic Diet

The Benefits of The Ketogenic Diet

There is a ton of hype surrounding the ketogenic diet. Some researchers swear that it is the best diet for most people to be on, while others think it is just another fad diet. To some degree, both sides of the spectrum are right. There isn't one perfect diet for everyone or every condition, regardless of how many people "believe" in it. The ketogenic diet is no exception to this rule. However, the ketogenic diet also has plenty of solid research backing up its benefits. In fact, it has ...

It's Fall and each morning I get up the air seems crisper and colder. Cold enough for me to want to stay inside, wrap myself up in blankets, and just enjoy a warm treat. This was so much the fact this morning that I ended up making some warm and delicious pumpkin bread to start my day off. It's almost like a protein bar for us keto-ers that seem to have little to no time in the morning. Grab a slice or two, a slab of butter, and walk out the door while chomping on bliss! It's very dense, so that ...
