Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies

I like to eat fairly low carb (~100 or less total grams/day). This isn’t for weight loss reasons, or because I love hopping on diet bandwagons. I stick to a reasonable amount of carbs (from minimally processed sources, mostly whole foods like fruits, veggies and yogurt) for health reasons. Basically, I’ve been borderline diabetic for […]

You Can Eat Veggies on A Low Carb Diet

Yes, you can eat veggies on a low carb diet. I know the trend is to avoid them because the carbs are so high compared to foods like cheese and eggs and almonds. And you’re right – it’s not as sexy to save up your carbs for a salad over a piece of sugar-free chocolate, […]

Intermittent Fasting on a Keto/Low Carb Diet

I’ll just come out and say it: I’m torn on intermittent fasting (IF). For those of you who aren’t familiar, IF involves daily (including while you sleep) fasting of at least 16 hours. So, you’ll only be eating in an 8 hour window. Often, people reduce this even further. Potentially, this could look like waking […]

Sweetness in Low Carb Baked Goods

You may have noticed that a lot of the low carb recipes I post don’t include much by way of sweeteners. This is wholly by design. It’s not that I don’t like the flavor of something sweet, it’s mostly that by eating relatively low carb foods for a while now, my palate has changed. Yours […]

How to Tell When You’re in Ketosis

Ketosis isn’t some mystical state, achieved only by days and months of fasting and spiritual connection. Kind of the opposite, actually. A lot of people (whether or not they follow a low carb diet) go into a state of ketosis every night without even trying, just by having a functioning metabolism. Of course, as soon […]

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? Listen to find out! Here is a list of some different Vitamin D supplements: Capsule: Blue Bonnet 2000 […]

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 […]
