Eggs Benedict Casserole

Eggs Benedict Casserole

Baked eggplant mixed into ham and egg, then smothered in freshly made hollandaise sauce. This twist on the classic breakfast uses spongey eggplant as a stand-in for English muffins, but if that's not your thing then feel free to substitute zucchini. It seems like an overly decadent breakfast but it's packed full of vegetable, and uses a lot of ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already. This hollandaise is lemony and smooth, but the secret's in the vinegar. There's a lot of ...

Keto Egg Fast: Rules, Recipes, Meal Plan, and Risks

What is Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) & Why It’s the Most Efficient Fuel

What is Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) & Why It’s the Most Efficient Fuel

The body has a variety of fuel sources it can use, all with different benefits and downsides. Sugar, for example, is typically our primary energy source — not because it is the most efficient — but because it can be used rapidly by every cell in the body. Unfortunately, we sacrifice efficiency for speed when we burn sugar, which leads to the formation of potentially harmful molecules called free radicals. Conversely, when carb intake is limited, we began using more efficient fuel sources ...

Keto OS Side Effects and Benefits: Is It Worth It?

Keto OS Side Effects and Benefits: Is It Worth It?

Keto OS or — as Pruvit writes it — KETO//OS is an exogenous ketone supplement that promises better DNA repair, energy, immune function, focus, and fat loss. Their content is riddled with so many biohacking buzzwords that it sounds a lot like another overpriced fat loss supplement scam. That said, it is hard to ignore the seemingly miraculous before and after results from their 10-day KETO//OS NAT challenge. In this review of KETO//OS products — particularly KETO OS NAT and KETO OS PRO — ...

What is Ketosis?

What is Ketosis?

Ketosis is the metabolic state when blood ketone levels reach a certain level (around 0.5 mmol/L). People will typically enter ketosis when they restrict carbohydrates (i.e., by following the ketogenic diet) or eat little to no calories (i.e., fasting for multiple days). In general, the body will not enter ketosis as long as there are enough carbs available from the diet or stored glycogen (the storage form of sugar) to provide the cells with energy. As long as sugar is available (and you ...

Dirty, Lazy Keto vs. Clean Keto: Should You Go Clean?

Dirty, Lazy Keto vs. Clean Keto: Should You Go Clean?

We all naturally fall somewhere on the spectrum between squeaky clean keto and dirty lazy keto — even if we aren’t aware of it. The way of eating that you end up following ultimately depends on two crucial factors: (1) how healthy, sustainable, and effective the diet is for you and  (2) the values that drive your decisions (e.g.,  your budget, your health, religious beliefs, environmental/animal welfare concerns, and anything else that you prioritize when making a decision about what to ...
