Keto Tips

Some quick tips!


1. Take your measurements and pictures then, throw out the scale.
2. Drink lots of water!
3. Don't forget to replenish your electrolytes or you will feel awful...headaches, cramps, palpitations
4. Try to get some good quality sleep each night.
5. Good mental health is important! High levels of stress will raise cortisol levels and make it harder to lose weight.
6. Plan ahead. Meal prep or at least have your snacks ready to go.
7. Track your carbs! People emphasize 20g of net carbs, but realistically you will need to find your magic number. Every body is different.
8. Remember this is a journey and you will not magically lose a ridiculous amount of weight overnight. It's a process.

Review: Lakanto Blueberry Muffin Mix

It's the most wonderful  hectic time of the year! Some days I will put in the effort to make things from scratch and other days I just need something easy peasy. On my shopping trip to Clark's Nutrition today (my local health food store), I picked up this muffin mix for $7.69!   The directions were easy to follow! It didn't take much effort to get them going.  I used a hand mixer for each of the steps. I also used butter instead of the suggested coconut oil.  I used my ice cream scoop to fill up my muffin tins and left them in the oven for 12 minutes. There were 12 servings for this package and 1g net carb per serving. So, each of these muffins is 1g net carb! Pretty awesome if you're counting carbs! Time - super fast! I spent about 20 minutes form beginning to end. Texture - they were nice and fluffy, not super dense like other mixes. Taste - did not have an intense blueberry flavor, but did not have any funky after taste either. Overal...

Staying Keto at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles

Being Keto should not keep you from going out to eat! I was at a conference recently in Anaheim, just minutes away from Disneyland! The group I was with decided to go out for dinner and they chose Roscoe's. They were concerned about my dietary preferences and offered to go elsewhere instead. If you don't know, Roscoe's is known for delicious fried chicken and scrumptious waffles. Googling this place, you'll see there are not many low carb/keto options, but you can stay keto and eat here! I am always up for the challenge of finding something to eat, wherever I go, so we went to Roscoe's. Even our table was super sticky from all of the delicious syrup going around.  I stared at the menu for a bit and settled on the Chef salad with ranch. It was good, and the chicken was great! I had the smell of fresh, warm, delicious waffles surrounding me, and even that did not make me regret my decision of sticking with a low carb option. If you want an...
