I’ve put this "Are Carbs Created Equal?" blog under frequently asked questions, but it could easily be a rant, science, or even success story. From a science perspective a carbohydrate or carb is one of the macros we talk about so frequently. When doing keto, you look...
One of the questions we got recently was how to do a zero carbs meal plan. I hadn’t heard of this before, so I had to do some research. What I found out is that a zero carb plan is different from keto. If you think nutritionists hate keto, they are going to hate a...
Today is World Indigenous People Day - a day to raise awareness and protect the rights of the world’s indigenous population. According to the United Nations website, August 9th is listed as the day there is recognition of the injustices that have been done to...

Have you ever heard the saying, “If I looked like that, I’d walk around naked all the time?” I’ve said it, and at the time, I meant it. If I looked like Jennifer Aniston, I’d be naked constantly - or at least wear as few clothes as possible. But, would you really?...
