Starting a keto diet can be complex and confusing, and deciding what you can and can’t eat can be mind-boggling. One of the questions I hear from my new members of my keto tribe is about applesauce and if it’s approved on keto. Let’s answer that question once and for all. Applesauce is not keto-approved….
I’ve served as a guide to thousands of people who have started a keto diet successfully, and one of the biggest challenges is changing the way of thinking about foods that are considered healthy in a standard American Diet. I’ve literally been asked hundreds of times if Apples are keto friendly so I decided to…
Why Am I Not In Ketosis? Have you been eating Keto faithfully for a while but are frustrated that you don’t seem to be in ketosis? Don’t worry! It’s very possible you actually are in ketosis. And even if you’re not, don’t give up. If you think you’ve been doing everything right when starting a…

Donating blood is an incredible community service, but many people on a Keto diet are unsure if they can donate. Honestly, I’d never even questioned whether donating blood was appropriate for people who are ketogenic until someone asked. I’ve researched all the aspects of giving blood from a Keto perspective, including contacting the Red Cross…
