  • 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

    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…

  • Study claims Keto Diet adversely effects bone density

    The study took 30 speed walkers and put half on the Keto Diet. They looked at their bone density before and after embarking on the diet. While they did show that the athletes on the Keto Diet had less bone density after changing their diet the study only followed them for 3 weeks. So, there…

  • High protein low carb recipes

    Prevention Magazine provides a bunch of recipes for those wanting some high protein low carb meals. Most are pretty obvious but I’m interested in the salmon with roasted red pepper sauce. They do serve up a little misinformation though. For example: But while some people benefit from limiting their carb intake—say, you have trouble controlling…

  • At least Goop is aptly named

  • Stop drinking cold coffee in a giant mug

    I agree with this, although I do have my fair share of big coffee mugs. My favorite mugs to drink out of are the Le Creuset coffee mugs pictured above. They’re just the right size to have enough without too much where the coffee gets too cold. As much as it pains me to admit…

  • 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

    Personally I haven’t had too many keto bread recipes that I like. But, I’m always willing to try out more. The first rule of keto dieting is cutting back on carbs—which means bread is pretty much out of the question. But keto followers are in luck: there are plenty of ways to work around the…
