A while back I did a blog on what a clean label is. Or at least what I thought a clean label is. Turns out I took a bit of heat for that blog because there is something called the “Clean Label Project,” and their idea of a clean label and my idea of one are very...
If It’s Not Keto Is It Cheating?
by Wendy Knowlton | Feb 24, 2023 | Ranting & Raving
Cheating is a horrible word. It means to act dishonestly in order to gain an advantage. It can be in games, in love, but can you cheat on a diet? What are you gaining? You gain a momentary pleasure in giving in to a craving, but the results are not positive for long!...

The other day, my stomach hurt. That doesn’t usually happen to me anymore since I gave up gluten and sugar with the keto diet. I went into the bathroom and grabbed an old container of Tums that we had. I was about to pop it into my mouth when Bill said, “Stop!”...

by Bill Knowlton | Dec 19, 2022 | Ranting & Raving
You know what makes a nice stocking stuffer for a keto family such as us? Keto Magazines. I went through the rack of a local bookstore the other day to find some nice magazines to put in Wendy’s stocking but after checking out the price that wasn’t going to happen. I...

I have known a lot of nutritionists in my lifetime due to my work with poverty reduction organizations, and I truly like most of those I’ve met. So, this rant is not about individual people. This rant is about the organization that represents nutritionists...
