  • Tracking ketones and GKI

    As I’ve said before, I’ve been living the Intermittent Fasting and Keto Friendly lifestyle for over 2 decades and fell into this lifestyle quite by accident.

  • Who has heard of “Keto Crotch”?

    The Military Times has picked up on the story regarding the military possibly switching to the keto diet for performance reasons. Service members, and Navy SEALS especially, may have to forgo beer and burritos for skinny cocktails and avocado salad (forget the tortilla chips) if a proposal from Special Operations Command gains momentum. While a…
