Episode 3 – Caffeinate Better

I’m completely addicted to caffeine, and I know it. So, I’m trying to find a way to consume this little drug more responsibly! Mission accomplished? We’ll see… Below are links with information that I used in this week’s show. Enjoy! http://www.marksdailyapple.com/coffee-tea-caffeine-talk/#axzz3VnQbiX11 http://www.dailyinfographic.com/15-things-you-should-know-about-caffeine-infographic http://en.ilovecoffee.jp/posts/view/110

Why don’t I use artificial sweeteners?

So, you’ve probably noticed that I tend to only use stevia here, and you’ve probably wondered to yourself, “why would she use a sweetener in baked goods that doesn’t mimic the texture of sugar?” Yeah, I know. Sugar does more than just sweeten: it adds moisture, helps to bind, browns and aids in the texture […]

Episode 2 – The Eyes Have It

Eye exercises: The first is pretty basic: every few minutes, try blinking your eyes slowly several times, or squeezing them shut to stimulate tear production. This will keep them moist, no need for drops! The second involves eye rolling, and you can put as much or as little attitude into this as you want. Look […]

Healthy Gamer Girl Podcast 1: Vitamin D

I finally got around to recording the first episode of the Healthy Gamer Girl Podcast! The topic, inspired by the most recent post, is Vitamin D. What is it? What does it do? How do you get enough?

Are you getting enough Vitamin D?

I’ll cut to the chase here – chances are, the answer is no. Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins to our bodies’ functioning, and most of us come nowhere close to having high enough serum levels. That is, the amount of vitamin D circulating in our bloodstreams. How do you check your […]

Keto Tip: Fermented Foods

Often times, individuals on a ketogenic diet tend to avoid eating a lot of vegetables. It’s completely understandable – veggies often have a pretty high carb count, and this can be scary! A great way to get some vegetables with a lower carb count is to eat them in fermented form like sauerkraut or kimchi. […]

Low Carb Baking Tip: Adding Flavor Without Carbs

How do you add more flavor to a low carb or keto recipe without adding any additional carbs? No, the answer is not artificial sweeteners… it’s seasoning! It sounds pretty basic…and it is. Spices, herbs and extracts will (for the most part) add a negligible amount of carbohydrates to your meal, while adding a TON of […]

Is This Keto?

It’s a question that comes up a lot – is [insert food here] keto? Well, friend, there’s an easy answer to that. Does it keep you in ketosis? Does it fit into your macros? Then yes, it’s keto!! Keto is complicated because it’s different for everyone. While 20g of net carbohydrates every day is kind of […]

Keto Thanksgiving: Broccoli Cheese Casserole

This is basically the world’s easiest casserole recipe. My aunt traditionally makes it for every Thanksgiving, as someone in my family is nearly always vegetarian. It also works well as a keto dish, because it’s high in fat, and low carb. Perfect! Ingredients: 1 bag (about 3-4 cups) frozen broccoli 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded […]

Can I do keto as a vegetarian?

Can you? Of course it is! A ketogenic diet, at its base, is not about stuffing as much meat into your face as possible.
