Is the Ketogenic Diet Healthy? How to Know If Keto Is Right for You

Is the Ketogenic Diet Healthy? How to Know If Keto Is Right for You

The keto diet is so vastly different from most dietary patterns that many people are concerned about its impact on our health. After decades of being told how bad high-fat diets are for us, it may seem like the high-fat, low-carb keto diet would be the most harmful and least healthy diet that one can possibly follow. However, the research on the keto diet reveals a different story. The severity of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, for example, can all be reduced by cutting the ...

Although collagen is a protein, it does not have the same properties as other more commonly known proteins (e.g., whey, casein, meat, and fish).

Pork Loin Ribs with Keto BBQ Sauce

Pork Loin Ribs with Keto BBQ Sauce

I wanted to cook a lot of ribs for a little get together we were having this weekend. I went with 3 racks of ribs, but if you don't want to do that many, just scale the recipe accordingly. Remember that 1 Tablespoon = 3 teaspoons! These ribs came out absolutely awesome! The BBQ sauce tastes like a sauce you'd get at a restaurant, maybe just not as sweet (which is the way I like it). It's smokey, with hints of sweet and tangy. So, what did the damage come out to? Only 1.5g carbs per ...

This recipe turns down-home mashed cauliflower into a gourmet side dish. The cauliflower is steamed and then mashed with butter, salt, and pepper. A handful of Parmesan cheese adds interest and a nutty flavor, but the crown jewel of the dish is black truffle oil. Black truffle oil provides a deep, earthy flavor and complex aroma. It is a ...
