On February 1st, I will be exactly one year into my Keto way of life. In that time, I have lost 83 lbs. although that is something to celebrate by itself, I also accomplished other things. I was a type 2 diabetic when I started this journey and now have completely been able to give up my Metformin as well as my twice daily insulin shots. I have also gone off my blood pressure meds as well as my statins and antidepressant. I have gone from absolutely no energy to days filled with everything ...

Pork Loin Ribs with Keto BBQ Sauce
January 29, 2014 by 16 Comments
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 ...

Mashed Cauliflower with Parmesan Cheese and Truffle Oil
December 29, 2016 by 3 Comments
Mashed cauliflower is the go-to mashed potato replacement for people on ketogenic diets. Sometimes, however, mashed cauliflower can get a little boring. 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 ...

Elizabeth Got Her Health & Energy Back with Keto
October 14, 2022 by Leave a Comment
I think I first saw mention of keto on the hypothyroidism subreddit. I became curious first because my doctor had already told me I needed to restrict carbs and second because this hypo sufferer on reddit claimed keto allowed her to lose a ton of weight easily. I was duly suspect. The only time I had been able to lose significant weight was with a Herculean effort in college. I ate a starvation diet, tracking my calories through Weight Watchers. I exercised religiously. I didn't go out with ...

Keto Chocolate Roll Cake
August 26, 2014 by 95 Comments
When I was a kid, my mom usually packed my lunch box with snacks and sweets that I could finish the day off with. From oatmeal cookies to honey buns, there was always tons of sugar packed inside. Well...now I guess I know why I gained so much weight in my childhood ;) One of the things I still remember, though, are those little Swiss Cakes from Little Debbie. Lately, I've been thinking about them more and more, wanting to recreate them...but elevate them in flavor and bring them over to the ...

What is Ketosis?
January 11, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Ketosis is the metabolic state when blood ketone levels reach a certain level (around 0.5 mmol/L). People will typically enter ketosis when they restrict carbohydrates (i.e., by following the ketogenic diet) or eat little to no calories (i.e., fasting for multiple days). In general, the body will not enter ketosis as long as there are enough carbs available from the diet or stored glycogen (the storage form of sugar) to provide the cells with energy. As long as sugar is available (and you ...

Ketogenic Diet Risks: Is Keto Worth It?
August 24, 2018 by Leave a Comment
It's simple: cut the carbs, increase the fat, and you will be on track to following a highly effective weight loss diet. However, as with any major dietary change, significantly restricting your carbs will increase your risk for certain short-term and long-term side effects — some of which will go away with minor adjustments while others will provide you with a clue that keto isn't a healthy diet for you. To clear up any confusion you may have about the risks of the keto diet, let's take a ...
