I could write the book on how to do keto when traveling. I own and run three companies and travel a lot for business, it can be a challenge to eat keto... a challenge, but not impossible.
It’s not You, it’s Me: Keto B.O. and Other Lovely Things
It’s not You, it’s Me: Keto B.O. and Other Lovely Things
Ok, this is not the nicest of topics, but it’s a keto fact of life... keto can stink... there, I said it out loud. Being on keto, especially in the beginning and during some phases of intermittent fasting...can be rather um...‘less fresh’ smelling then normal...is that a nicer way of saying it?
What is your why?
What is your why?
Anything you do or not do in life usually has a reason behind it. When it comes to keto, do you know what your ‘why’ is? Why do you do it? Really think about your answer... I bet once you get past the obvious answer and dig a little deeper you’ll find your true ‘why’.
Testing for Ketosis
Testing for Ketosis
I admit it...I am a natural health freak and more than that, an experiment geek. I like to test different things on myself and as Dave Asprey (Bulletproof Coffee fame) says ‘I’m a bio-hacker and I bio-hack my body continuously.’ I am like that too...there probably isn’t any health modality I don’t know about or haven’t tried on myself.
Keto is not a 'one size fits all'
Keto is not a 'one size fits all'
Have you ever tried a certain diet or style of eating and thought "this seems to work so well for others, but it's not working for me...what am I doing wrong?"
Macros for Beginners
Macros for Beginners
If you are new to keto you may be wondering what this ‘macro’ stuff is all about. It’s thrown around everywhere by ketoers giving advice to newbies: “If it fits your macros”, “track those macros”, “your macros may be off”… I admit, I do it all the time too. I recently conducted a poll in my Intentionally Bare Keto facebook group, asking how many people do not know what macro’s are… 40% said they did not. This can be very confusing for people just starting on keto, so here is a little ‘Macro’s 101’ so you can start saying ‘IIFYM’s’ (if it fits your macro’s) like a BOSS!
Intermittent Fasting Experiment OMAD (23:1)
Intermittent Fasting Experiment OMAD (23:1)
Intermittent fasting is when you fast (don’t eat) for a certain number of hours, and then you have an eating "window" (the 2nd number is your eating window). There are many types of intermittent fasting: 16:8, 20:4, and 20:3 (OMAD, or one meal a day) are the most common. I am going to talk about my 7 day experiment with 23:1 (23 hours fasting and a 1 hour eating window).
The Most Common Keto Mistakes
The Most Common Keto Mistakes
There are many ways to do keto, and you do not have to be in ketosis all of the time. However, if you feel your weight loss or energy has stalled, there are some very common reasons that this happens. Let’s talk about the most common keto mistakes.
The Myth About Protein
The Myth About Protein
Protein is a funny thing... you would think that more is better, but when it comes to keto it's actually quite the opposite. Here is a little known fact: if you are carb sensitive (and most of us are), eating too much protein switches your body from fat burning to glucose burning… no, say it isn't so!
What is Intermittent Fasting and Why Should I Try It?
What is Intermittent Fasting and Why Should I Try It?
Intermittent fasting is not something that is specifically keto related, it can be incorporated into any eating plan (even if you don’t follow an eating plan at all). When you do it while being in ketosis though, it’s very powerful.
