Written by kjudd on Reddit. He has given me permission to post this here. Right, so I've read the easiest thing to try when dipping your feet into charcuterie was bacon. Let's just say that affordable bacon here is, well…crap. I’m talking about main supermarket branded stuff here, none of the higher quality artisan bacon. I underlined affordable because, I, like most of you eat this stuff a lot. So, I figured if I can make a higher quality bacon at home for a similar price, why not? ...
Keto BBQ Sauce Recipe: Spicy and Tangy
December 6, 2013 by 32 Comments
Here’s a quick and easy recipe that you can mix up in a few minutes to make some extremely tasty, spicy, and tangy keto BBQ sauce. I really like the tang you get from BBQ sauce, but this might be a bit much for people! Go easy with the mustard when you're adding it, and gauge how much you should add by your own taste preferences. This is one of my all-time favorite keto condiments and low carb BBQ sauces because I can whip it up in an instant and it's no-hassle. Non-keto people enjoy ...

Cheddar and Bacon BBQ Meatballs
December 5, 2013 by 10 Comments
These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had, keto or not. They're juicy, and they're full of cheese and bacon. What's not to like here? You really have a choice of where to go with this recipe. You don't have to use the BBQ sauce, but it pairs up extremely well with this recipe. You can add salsa and go for a Southwestern vibe, or add some homemade alfredo sauce and go for a very rich dish. I like my BBQ sauce to be spicy and tangy, so if you like more of a subtle BBQ sauce you ...

Creamy Delicious Keto Friendly Eggnog
December 3, 2013 by 22 Comments
Growing up I never really liked eggnog. That slimy, thick consistency was never something that I wanted to like or could bring myself to like. This keto eggnog recipe, however, will be a hit - it's thick, creamy, delicious, and will knock your socks off! If you're new to keto and haven't had alcohol - be careful as this can make you drunk. I put a lot of alcohol in mine as we have a family that can drink often. Let me know how you and your family like this one, I'm sure it will be a ...

Calorie Counting on the Ketogenic Diet
December 2, 2013 by 55 Comments
Calorie counting is a great tool for people to use to get a rough idea of caloric intakes, as well as a way to pinpoint mistakes they might have made if they hit a plateau. This may raise the question, "How many calories should I eat on keto?" Well, that depends... You might have been told that counting calories is not needed on a ketogenic diet because it causes more weight loss than other diets. That’s not exactly true. Would you be burning more calories than a low-fat diet? Most likely, ...

Using the Fat Fasting Technique
December 1, 2013 by 316 Comments
The fat fast is a technique brought by Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution - used by people who are metabolically resistant and have trouble with their induction. Let me first say that fat fasting should be used in 2 situations and 2 situations only: Breaking through a 2 week or longer plateau. Inducing yourself into ketosis quicker, whether you are just starting keto or you had a cheat day. It is important to stress that a fat fast should only be followed for a few days maximum as it ...

Hearty Pot Pie
November 30, 2013 by 3 Comments
Ever since I made the recipe for the pecan pie, I've been in love with this pie crust. I ended up using it when I made a pie out of these low carb pumpkin cheesecake tarts. It was then that I started thinking of savory uses for the pie crust. It's the closest thing I've ever gotten to a traditional pie crust, and with turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, it only made sense to think of using it to make a pot pie. For this one I used up the leftover veggies I had on hand. I used roasted radishes ...

The Ketogenic Diet and Weight Loss Plateaus
November 29, 2013 by 93 Comments
The dreaded keto weight loss plateau. No matter what diet you are on, your weight loss will eventually stop. The goal is for the progress to stop as soon as we hit our ideal weight, but this often does not happen as planned. Most of us will experience a weight loss plateau at one point or another during our diet. When this happens it is not because you failed or because your body is broken — it is most likely because you need to switch up your dietary approach just a bit. By switching up ...

Low Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts
November 28, 2013 by 5 Comments
I was in a rush to get these done for Thanksgiving, because the ovens are going to be in full effect tomorrow and I'd have no time to make these delicious little guys. The dough was pretty crumbly, so I smashed them into the cupcake tin, and hoped for the best. I decided to par-cook them for a little bit first to try to give them a bit of sturdiness before I spooned in the mixture. I also chilled the dough for 30 minutes before putting it in the tins, because it was falling apart on me when I ...
