SUPERFOOD AVOCADO MAYO | superfood recipes

Image
I don’t love mayo—it’s just too rich and eggy for my tastes. But I adore this yummy, superfood version. If you don’t like cilantro, swap in dill or parsley or another herb—even a small garlic clove. Or, leave out the herbs altogether. If you don’t have lime juice, try lemon juice. Avocado Mayo Makes about 1-1/2 cups 1/2 cup mayonnaise (this can be from a jar or homemade) 1 avocado, pitted 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped 2 teaspoons lime juice salt and pepper, to taste 1. Add mayonnaise, avocado, cilantro and lime juice to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. 2. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

How to Avoid Eating Too Much | ketogenic diet

Image
The prospect of eating avocados, bacon, and cream, every day can be so tantalizing that we forget that the keto diet is not a food free-for-all. No one—including keto-eaters—should eat until they feel queasy or overburden their digestive tract. Further, because the majority of keto ingredients are so calorie-dense, overeating even a small amount of them can get in the way of weight loss. If you struggle with eating too much of a good thing, these tips may help. Stay hydrated. Oftentimes, we mistake thirst for hunger. Aim for at least two litres of water per day. Carry your own keto snacks. Snacks can be an slippery slope when you are not prepared. Pack a piece or two of salmon jerky or stock up on snack-sized containers and fill them with cubed cheese, salami, slices of cucumber, or other keto-compliant foods. Don’t keep trigger foods in your home, Read more... THE KETO KIT Stephanie Pedersen Inc. 250 East 31 Street Suite 2A New York, NY 10016

How to get rid of Bad Keto Breath | Keto diet kit

Image
If you have a partner or an honest friend, he or she might point out the pungent change in your breath. “Keto breath,” as it is affectionately called, is another one of the symptoms that occurs when your body switches from burning glycogen to burning fat. Described alternately as smelling like rotting apples, garbage mixed with nail polish remover, or pickled cabbage, you have only the ketones to blame. (A quick reminder: Ketones are naturally released by the body when you switch from carb-burning to fat burning.) While there is not much you can do to completely eradicate keto breath if you want to remain in ketosis, there are a few things that will help lessen it and even mask it.   Read more ...

Why Keto Flu happens and what to do about it

Image
The keto flu is one of the most despised keto symptoms. This constellation of symptoms feels a bit like the flu virus, except, instead of being caused by a pathogen, it occurs when your body changes its energy source (from carbs to fat), often between the third and seventh day. Keto flu symptoms range from headaches and brain fog to perspiration, dizziness, nausea, stomachaches, irritability, diarrhea or constipation, lack of focus, slowed physical and mental response, fitful sleep, sugar cravings, heart palpitations, and muscle aches. The severity of symptoms varies from person to person: Some keto-eaters barely break a sweat, while others are laid up in bed for up to two weeks. Keto flu is caused by several reactions happening at once: adapting to using fat instead of glycogen for energy, mineral imbalance, dehydration, and lack of micronutrients. There is also the very potent, and often overlooked, factor of carbohydrate withdrawal, a state that is talked about frequently ...

Why Keto Squirts happens | Healthy Diet New York

Image
The keto diet can be a pain in the butt. Literally! If you’ve been on the keto diet—even for only a few days—you probably know about the loose, watery stools that are a side effect of the keto diet. Known as “keto squirts,” these disturbing offshoots of the keto can occur when you least expect, often almost spontaneously and uncontrollable. It isn’t uncommon for a first-time keto eater to accidentally pass gas, only to learn that (a little or a lot of) loose, watery stool has escaped at the same time. Yes, this is absolutely horrifying. And completely common—and normal. It happens for a combination of reasons. The first is a dramatic change in gut flora that occurs when you change your diet. You’ve probably tried diets in the past and noticed a change in your elimination habits. This has to do with your gut flora growing accustom to new ingredients (and new amounts of ingredients). For other people, relying heavily on fatty dairy products—an easy, convenient source of fat—is ...

What it is Keto Dehydration | ketogenic diet

Image
Dry mouth, increased thirst, less puffiness around the eyes and belly. If you’ve just started eating keto and are working toward reaching ketosis, dehydration will be one of the first symptoms you notice. Dehydration usually occurs after three or four days, when your body enters ketosis. To learn why this is, here’s a quick keto chemistry lesson: The simple science behind the keto diet, is this: On a standard mainstream diet, carbohydrates are used to produce energy in the body. When you drastically reduce the amount of carbs you eat, your body begins looking for other sources of energy to fuel its daily functions. In the absence of carbs, your body’s own fat is one of its easiest go-to sources of energy. The process of burning the body’s fat for fuel is called ketosis, and this process is the basis of the ketogenic diet plan. Generally speaking, carbs encourage your body to store water. (For every gram of carbohydrates stored in the body, three grams of water are also stored...
