Have a pile of yummy stuff to eat, but no fork? A sandwich or wrap makes sense, but if you’re avoiding breads, tortillas, pita pockets and other carbohydrates, getting that food into your mouth can be tricky.  My Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb Egg Wraps make a smart swap for bread-like products – they have no carbs, no grains, no gluten, and no weird taste and texture like some of those alternative bread products around.

The Keto Diet is all the rage, although it’s been around since the 1920s. It’s an extreme diet, not for everyone . . . but devotees sing its praises and show off the results. High in fat (think 75 – 80% of calories), very low in carbohydrates (think 5%), and middle ground in protein (think 15 to 20%). 

Full disclosure, I am not a strict follower of the keto diet, but I am fascinated by it as someone who has been eating high protein, higher fat for years. In fact, I’ve posted many times about becoming fat-adapted and fat-loading for endurance sports.

Read on to find out some of the must-haves that benefit a keto, fat-adapted, or very low-carb lifestyle. Continue reading →
