How to Eat Out and Stay Keto/Low Carb
“Strive for progress, not perfection” However life-changing eating a keto diet may be, we don’t want it to change our lives to the extent that we aren’t doing things that we would otherwise enjoy.

The Best Keto Fibre Supplements to Take (if you, ahem, need to)
Nobody likes that feeling of being constipated. Feeling bloated and uncomfortable and sporting a semi-pregnant-looking belly.

I have had quite a few questions about counting macros on the keto diet so wanted to do a quick post about it! First of all, in case you aren’t aware, macros are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. If you are eating a ketogenic diet then your macros are going to be something like 5-10% carbs,…

Dealing with a Non-Keto Family
Just because you’ve decided that keto is the way to go, doesn’t mean that your family will happily jump on board too. So it’s important to have a plan (however rough that plan may be) to help you stick with your new found way of eating without causing the extra stress from having to cook…
Do Women Need Carbs?
When I first started exploring the ketogenic diet I quickly found out that there are a lot of different opinions on whether or not women should eat carbs. One side of the fence clearly states no. The other clearly states yes. And there’s a whole bunch of grey area in between that will tell you…
Keto and Alcohol – Do They Mix?
It’s been a while since my crazy student days of drinking way much more than I ever should have. But with that being said, I do still like to have a drink or two at a special occasion. When I started eating keto, I just assumed that booze in any form was off the menu…
