Are Pork Rinds Keto? The Many Benefits Of This Zero Carb Snack

Are Pork Rinds Keto? The Many Benefits Of This Zero Carb Snack

Yes, pork rinds are keto-friendly and used widely by people on low-carb diets. That said, it’s still easy to be fooled into thinking that this humble keto snack food is unhealthy. Though they are crisp like chips (and are typically found in the same grocery store aisle), pork rinds share very little else in common with those high-carb options. In fact, unflavored pork rinds are one of the few zero-carb snacks you can eat on the ketogenic diet. Plus, they can be used as a keto substitute ...

Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (Crack Slaw)

Egg rolls are delicious. They're crispy, packed full of flavor, and easy to eat, but they are far from being keto-friendly. At first, I thought it would be impossible to emulate an egg roll on keto.

Now, whenever the craving hits, I know I can whip up a keto egg roll in a bowl in half the time it takes to get takeout. Are Egg Rolls Keto? Egg rolls are not keto-friendly.  They ...

The Best & Worst Keto Oils for Cooking, Drizzling, and What to Avoid

All plant-based oils have zero carbs and protein, making them the purest source of fat you can have on the keto diet. However, this doesn’t mean that everything in the cooking oil aisle can be considered as a good "keto oil" for your low-carb lifestyle. Though you can lose fat on keto regardless of what fats you consume, the oils you use will play a crucial role in ensuring optimal health, wellbeing, and sustained ketosis. Since fat will be your primary source of energy, choosing the right ...

Allison is Down Over 80 Pounds on Keto

I started my keto journey on Tuesday January 17, 2018. Tuesday was my start because every other diet for the past 20 years was always started on a Monday and I needed this to be completely different. I stepped on the scale and my weight was 250.7 lbs, my start weight and in my mind the highest I would ever be! You see, for years I had dieted, exercised excessively and slowly got sicker and sicker. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2013 and was told by my doctor that he couldn't believe ...

Our 25 Favorite Keto Chicken Recipes

Our 25 Favorite Keto Chicken Recipes

Chicken dishes are so popular that they are the third most widely consumed food in America, following closely behind grain-based desserts and yeast breads. In other words, chicken is the most widely consumed keto-friendly food in the United States. Most chicken dishes, however, come with a carb-rich side like rice or potatoes or chicken that is breaded with high carb ingredients, making a high-protein keto food into an unhealthy meal. Fortunately, there are many low-carb vegetables and keto ...

Keto Crispy Sesame Beef

Keto Crispy Sesame Beef

This recipe for sesame crispy beef is the keto-fied version of a classic dish found in many Chinese restaurants. We keep it keto-friendly with the use of daikon noodles instead of rice, trading out the typical sirloin steak for a fattier cut, and using creative ways to achieve the sweet aspects. This dish, when cooked at your local Chinese restaurant, typically has some sweetness. In this recipe, stevia paired with rice wine vinegar and vegetables does the job of creating a bit of sweet ...

My body said “I’m in!”

My body said “I’m in!”

I have always been a bit of a gym rat. I was a soldier, and have always tried to stay in good physical shape. That being said, I was constantly stuck in this rut of working out, eating what I thought was "healthy", and never getting any real results. Years went on and on like that. Sometimes I would loose a little weight through sheer will, and then I would just gain it back; plus some. The last few years I went through a bit of a depression. Chalk it up to PTSD, a failed marriage, turning 40; ...

Low Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice

Low Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice

Chinese style food has been quite the hit at my house and I didn't want to stop with just low carb Sweet & Sour chicken and General Tso's Chicken. I made some fried rice to go with any Chinese style dish you make, quite similar to the real thing. I am sure you'll enjoy it, and I'm sure you'll be wanting a second serving once you have a bite. It does take a decent amount of work to make the fried rice, but usually I cook my chicken dishes in the oven and I have plenty of time to get ...
