Weight Loss vs Fat Loss
The terms “weight loss” and “fat loss” are often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same thing. So often, we refer to our journey as a “weight loss” journey, which can cause a mindset that is hyperfixated on the movement of numbers on a scale. Most of the time, when we talk about wanting to […]
Effects of Carbohydrates
I’m not gonna lie, December has been full of high carb, high sugar foods. I haven’t maintained ketovore at all and haven’t been able to maintain my alternate day Intermittent Fasting that was so successful in November. This month, I gained nearly 15lbs. It was the holidays and so I’m not beating myself up over […]
An Overview of Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating and is currently one of the world’s most popular health and fitness trends. It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather WHEN you should eat them. Most importantly, Intermittent Fasting isn’t just a weight loss strategy. When used […]
Be Prepared this Holiday Season
The holidays can be nearly overwhelming in the amounts of high carbohydrate, high sugar foods everywhere we look. This time of year, it is not only encouraged, but EXPECTED that we gorge ourselves on candies, pies, breads, and everything else that anyone following any type of low carb diet (from Atkins to ketogenic to ketovore) […]
Ketovore: a Carnivore/Ketogenic Blend
Ketovore is a combination of the Ketogenic and Carnivore Diets and is sometimes referred to as simply “meat-heavy Keto.” The Keto Diet is a low carb way of eating that emphasizes meat, low carb vegetables, as well as dairy and fat; with a macronutrient breakdown of 5% Carbs, 25% protein, and 50% fat. The Carnivore […]
Carnivore (Zero Carb) Diet
Similar to the Ketogenic Diet (Keto), the Carnivore Diet’s goal is to remove carbs and instead focus on fats and animal protein. Unlike Keto, the carnivore diet focuses solely on eating meat — often from nose to tail — and less (or no) plants. No fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, or sugar, although all protein […]
10 Day Carnivore Challenge
I’ve been stuck in a plateau on my weight loss journey since March (just over 4 months now). I’ve tried so many things to get out of it: exercise, adjusting my Keto Macros, Egg Fasts, etc. Nothing seems to work. But I came across this 10 Day Carnivore Challenge on Instagram and figure it’s worth […]
Gallon Water Challenge
I’ve never drank enough water. Not long ago, that was because I was drinking WAY too much soda (as in several large sodas a day). I’ve cut way back on soda, drinking no more than two cans a day, but even still it is difficult for me to remember to drink water. It is recommended […]

Lean and Green
If you haven’t noticed the trend, I’m starting the Education section of this blog by going over the stuff I’ve done in the past. I’m not including my 2010-2011 as it’s own post, though I’ve mentioned it a few times. The reason that’s not getting it’s own post is because I basically starved myself thin, […]
