Carb-cycling is real. It feels like cheating but our brains CRAVE them as their preferred fuel. That’s why waiting to eat at least four hours between any meal matters as discussed in my intermittent fasting post (especially during these annoying, never-ending uncertain times). With all of the vaccine “hesitancy” shenanigans going on in addition toContinue reading “Mix Carb-Cycling and Bio-hacking into Your Keto Lifestyle”

Mostly Keto Soups for Winter Wellness? Yes, Please!
It’s a tough call. Hmmm … have a few slightly higher carb foods, like keto-friendly breads and simple veggie-based soups or stay with the usual lean protein and a dollop of good fat or get creative with cheese and eggs. Again. The latter works better for the total carb count; the former makes your tummyContinue reading “Mostly Keto Soups for Winter Wellness? Yes, Please!”
Do Brunch Keto-Style (Plus, Socially Distanced!)
The challenge: bring your family together safely to celebrate a birthday without … A) going completely bonkers on carbs, and B) breaking your covid bubble carelessly. My thought was mask up and stay as far away from each other as one might do in a restaurant, if one is desperate enough to finally go eatContinue reading “Do Brunch Keto-Style (Plus, Socially Distanced!)”
Eat Clean Despite a Daily Diet of Disinformation
It’s been increasingly hard to hold the line on eating clean keto or even prioritizing weight loss. Lately, I’ve vacillated between morning meditation and nightly binges to cope. But I’m slowly learning how to keep calm and eat cleaner again by seeking more balance. In the light of recent events it’s no picnic. We’ve witnessedContinue reading “Eat Clean Despite a Daily Diet of Disinformation”
Keto French Toast for Fast Breaking
YES! Why not have a crave-worthy meal for your first of the day? I don’t know why I didn’t think of making a low-carb version of French toast until now … wait, I do. It took me this long to find a decent bread for the task. Say what you will about Aldi’s: it’s limitedContinue reading “Keto French Toast for Fast Breaking”
Intermittent Fasting and Keto in the Time of Covid
As much as I’d like to think there’s a bit of normalcy possible during the insane times we’re living through, it would seem that making headway with anything as trivial as weight loss is wildly optimistic as best and fairly delusional at worst. With anxiety and depression at critical levels, so much so that evenContinue reading “Intermittent Fasting and Keto in the Time of Covid”
Outsmart Keto Trigger Foods
My brain lights up like the proverbial Christmas tree just thinking about ice cream. So, I can’t really blame myself for grabbing a sweet, creamy keto frozen treat boasting only 2 net carbs last time I was at Aldi’s. Two days later, I was rethinking that idea (again…) while huddled in bed like a badContinue reading “Outsmart Keto Trigger Foods”
Is “Casual” Keto Possible?
It sounds like such a great concept: why not dabble in a ketogenic lifestyle vs go all in? I mean, who doesn’t want to avoid the keto flu (yes, it is real!) along with other challenges that come with keeping your carbs between 20 and 30 grams to get into actual ketosis. After losing 30Continue reading “Is “Casual” Keto Possible?”
