Amador Sees Night & Day Different in His Daughters Epilepsy

I’ve been doing keto for a while now. Not for myself but for my 6 year old daughter who was having up to 28 tonic-clonic seizures a day. We tried a bunch of medications and even a surgery but nothing worked. They got progressively worse. In April we started her on keto with the help of a nutritional team. 4 days after starting keto she stopped having seizures. She has been seizure free since. It has been a life-changing journey for my little girl. She is nonverbal and has had seizures since ...

In August, I got what my doctor called “the last talk”. My lab work was a disaster, and if my A1C got any higher I would be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I went home that night and knew I had to make a change. My wife’s friend had lost a significant amount of weight so we asked her how she had done it. She introduced us to keto. I was skeptical, but my wife and I both committed to doing keto for 60 days. We started in October. When I went back to the doctor in January the following year, my ...

At the end of the year, I realized I had been so busy with being a Mom, wife, friend and employee that I had let myself go. I didn't like how I felt or how I looked and decided I would go into the new year putting myself care first. I found out about keto through a Paleo Facebook group and haven't looked back. I started at almost 300 pounds and in 2 years have lost 145 pounds. After those 2 years, I started lifting weights to help with building muscle and loose skin. I started using Instagram ...

Ashley Lost Over 100 Pounds Using Keto

Soon after graduating high school, as a freshman in college, I met a guy; who today is my Husband of 14 years. In the early years of dating, he introduced me to things that I never ate growing up; like McDonald’s, Arby’s and a “meat” substance called SPAM. We ate out most nights and ate whatever we wanted. The only unfortunate thing is all this eating didn’t really affect him, because being in the military he was required to work out and maintain a maximum weight. But of course, very quickly ...

Keto Popcorn: How to Make It Keto-friendly and Other Low-carb Alternatives

Keto Popcorn: How to Make It Keto-friendly and Other Low-carb Alternatives

Corn and keto don’t work well together. Whether it is categorized as a grain or a starchy vegetable, you’ll find corn in the “Do Not Eat” category of any keto diet food list. This is because each cup of corn is packed with over 35 grams of net carbs. That is enough to keep most of us from ketosis! That said, there is a simple trick we can use to convert ketosis-disrupting corn into a satisfying keto-friendly serving of popcorn: Add heat. If you are looking to indulge in this popular ...

Dairy & Keto: Best, Worst, and Substitutes

Dairy & Keto: Best, Worst, and Substitutes

Dairy products are born from raw whole milk — a water-based mixture with roughly 50% of its calories coming from fat,  20% from protein, and 30-35% as net carbs (mostly from lactose). Although this means a glass of milk is not good for keto, this doesn’t rule out every other dairy product from your low-carb lifestyle. In fact, the most popular keto ingredients are made from milk, but with one crucial difference: Most of the milk sugar is filtered out during production (and no other sugars are ...
