White Chocolate Keto Fat Bombs Recipe This white chocolate keto fat bombs recipe will become a favorite way consume fat! Fatty acids from dietary fat and body fat can be used directly by cells as a source of energy on a low carb diet. Dietary fat also produces ketones which are another source of energy for the body. On a low carb diet, ketones are an important replacement for glucose. Reducing carbs will trigger the conversion of body fat into ketones so they can be used as a source of cellular energy. A low carb high fat diet has also been shown effective in cancer treatment because cancer cells thrive off glucose, not fatty acids or ketones. They say a ketogenic diet is a great way to prevent cancer. One reason is because the lack of glucose will starve cancer cells and keep them from growing and spreading to healthy cells. And, you can enjoy a delicious keto fat bombs on this way of eating. You may be wondering why protein shouldn’t be used as the major source of energy on a low

BULLETPROOF COFFEE Why add butter and oil to your coffee? The fat provides satiety and helps curb cravings. The amount of fat can be adjusted to your liking. It can be a good idea to start off with a small amount, let's say a teaspoon, of MCT oil and work your way up to a full tablespoon if you feel good doing so. Some people experience stomach problems if adding too much oil at once. The fat together with the caffeine from the coffee will give you a boost of energy to start your day. If caffeine isn't your thing, go ahead and try it with decaf. It won't give you quite the same effect but you will still have a great-tasting and filling drink. MCT oil can be ordered online, but if you don't want to use it or can't find it, try unflavored coconut oil instead. Is butter coffee good for weight loss? Not really. Sure, if you drink butter coffee or the so called Bulletproof® coffee instead of having breakfast you might lose some weight. But you'd likely lose even mor

Not only are these homemade protein bars keto friendly, they are also suitable for a paleo, vegan and gluten-free diet!  Protein bars tend to have a bad

KETO CHEESECAKE  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease a 9 in (23 cm) springform pan (or you can line the bottom with parchment paper). To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Finally, beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.) Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use a pastry spatula for a smoother top if you have one). Bake for about 45-55 minutes, until the center is almost set,

The ingredients: What makes a bread recipe keto-friendly? To keep your total carb intake low (so you can stay in that fat-burning state known as ketosis), the best keto bread recipes forgo traditional flour for high-fiber and high-fat ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, eggs, and healthy fats like grass-fed butter or avocado oil. This not only helps you hit your keto macros, but it ups your intake of some awesome nutrients as well. Almond flour is packed with vitamin E and magnesium, coconut flour and psyllium husk (which is an amazing binder) are sky-high in fiber to keep blood sugar balanced and boost the health of your microbiome, and glorious eggs are a potent source of choline, vitamin K2, and biotin, among other nutrients. Together, these ingredients somehow manage to achieve almost-authentic bread flavor. Of course, you're not going to achieve that perfect crumb and bouncy texture of breads made with traditional flour (gluten is res
