Gillian Lost Over 120 Pounds Using Keto

October 21, 2019 by Leave a Comment

My name is Gillian Bredenhann and I live in South Africa. I have been obese for most of my life. Approximately 3 years ago, I decided that I was tired of being unhappy. Tired of watching everyone swim in the summer days, but I was obviously self-conscious and not going to get into a bathing costume. Tired of having to buy size 24 clothing. Just plain tired. I weighed 118kg at my highest. Initially, I started by eating low-fat meals, and really just cutting down on all the foods that all of us ...

Dairy & Keto: Best, Worst, and Substitutes

April 7, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Dairy products are born from raw whole milk — a water-based mixture with roughly 50% of its calories coming from fat,  20% from protein, and 30-35% as net carbs (mostly from lactose). Although this means a glass of milk is not good for keto, this doesn’t rule out every other dairy product from your low-carb lifestyle. In fact, the most popular keto ingredients are made from milk, but with one crucial difference: Most of the milk sugar is filtered out during production (and no other sugars are ...

Chicken and rice casseroles are classic, kid-friendly, and feed a crowd. This makes it a long-time family favorite. We had a traditional version of this casserole in the regular dinner rotation growing up, as did most everyone else. That version was made with rice, chicken, and an array of canned condensed soups. It tasted great but was far from low carb. This keto chicken and rice casserole recipe is much healthier, uses simple ingredients, and still feeds a crowd. It uses some of my ...

Bread is one of most widely consumed foods in westernized societies. In the United States, it is the second most commonly eaten food, following closely behind grain-based desserts. This data is not surprising when you consider how many popular food items come with bread. From delicious foods that use bread as an edible food delivery mechanism like sandwiches and hamburgers to the meals that are served with a side of bread like soups, salads, and pasta — it is almost astonishing that we don't ...

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes

April 6, 2015 by 3 Comments

I went through some of my top reader and personal favorite recipes from the site to show you how much a typical ketogenic diet recipe costs, both per recipe and per serving. There are also many ways to save ...

Zero Carb Food List that Keeps Keto and Ketosis Simple

In fact, many keto dieters are able to stay in ketosis by using one simple strategy: Eating mostly keto-friendly foods that have little to no net carbs (i.e., digestible carbs that reduce ketone production). Although it may ...
