Happy Pizza Day 🍕

The pizza I made today uses a homemade low carb crust - recipe coming soon! What's your favorite topping(s)? My combo is pepperoni, onion, and mushroom (the onions are hiding under the cheese, with the sauce)

Today's recipe is my creamy Hearts of Palm salad, for those of you looking to avoid starches in your side dishes at your summer BBQs, this is a great substitute for potato salad (not smelly like cauliflower versions)! Hope you enjoy.

Today's recipe is my Crispy Egg Roll-Up Sammies, a nice way to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Bonus, it is low carb-friendly if you swap in low carb wraps. I was inspired to make these when I was watching dozens of British cooking shows on the plane while traveling overseas. I have fun exploring and being inspired by other cooking techniques and ideas. Hope you enjoy!

Today's recipe is my roasted spaghetti squash, which you can find on page 71 of my book, "Diabetic To Ketogenic: Reclaim Your Health With Real Food" (link in bio). Here, I served it with a slow-cooked ragù bolognese I made from grass-fed beef and fresh tomatoes, topped with freshly grated Pecorino Romano DOP.

beejay — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 18:03:57 GMT

Some people in carnivore/keto/food forums ask if eating grocery store rotisserie chicken is OK.

Sure, it's OK if you like eating hot plastic. And if you enjoy a hormone-injected bird loaded up with gross ingredients (usually hidden under the "natural flavorings" or "spices" umbrella)
(continue reading below image)

A couple of things I have noticed hiding in these chickens:

Starches (potato dextrin, corn starch, etc.)

Seed oils (sunflower/soy lecithin, canola oil, "vegetable" oil, soybean oil). Chicken has enough natural fat to cook plenty well on a spit!

Modified corn starch (aka Maltodextrin)
This is a hidden sugar that's many times worse than actual sugar. Companies can get away with using the label "sugar free" on packaging for their food-like substances by using Maltodextrin because it doesn't go by the name, "sugar"

Dextrose
Another ingredient companies use to claim something to be sugar free or "uncured." Dextrose is basically something only people who are suffering from diabetic "lows" should use, and under a doctor's supervision, to raise their blood glucose when it's dangerously low (aka diabetic hypoglycemia), although fruit juice would do the same thing, and just as rapidly.

Athletes wanting to GAIN weight will often use dextrose that's contained in many bodybuilding products

Why on earth dextrose and Maltodextrin are in so many mainstream and even diet products is beyond me. Neither of them offers any benefit whatsoever, other than to the manufacturer's bottom line, since real cane sugar or beet sugar are much more expensive to produce than to simply extract the liquid from fresh corn and hydrolyze it mechanically (spun rapidly in a centrifuge to draw out the sugar and then it is spray dried or freeze dried).

Anyone who's diabetic is better off having a couple grams of real sugar than eat anything containing either of the above two fake sugars. They can shoot one's blood glucose through the roof (figuratively speaking).
