Keto friendly restaurants
Health.com came up with a list of 14 keto friendly restaurants. But, in my opinion, just about every restaurant is a keto friendly restaurant. It all depends on your choices. A lot of people that need to stay on a strict keto diet simply request substitutes for bread and/or potatoes. In most restaurants those are…

Keto Chocolate Almond Torte
Update: Hat tip to Kate. She noticed I had an entire stick of butter for the ingredients when this only requires at most 2 tablespoons. Thank you! This is based off a recipe from Milk Street for a Caprese Chocolate and Almond Torte. It seemed easy enough to convert to a keto friendly version so…

Low carb or low fat don’t matter as long as you’re eating things that are not meat?
Another day another bad study. Either the article is written poorly or this study is utter garbage. How can you take a 24 hour eating period and extrapolate that out 15 years and assume people kept eating the same way over 15 years? In the study, researchers asked more than 37,000 adults in the United…

Keto bread recipes
