    Low Carb Keto Diet Tired Exhausted FightHave you just started a low-carb or Keto diet – and feeling utterly exhausted all the time? Tiredness is a common low-carb diet side effect, especially for first-timers. That’s because moving from carbs to fat as your main fuel source is a huge change.

    But covering all bases is not always easy. It requires planning and effort.

    Lack of essential nutrients can derail your diet, no matter how hard you work. So most low-carb experts recommend supplementation, especially in the beginning of your diet.

    A multivitamin is a cheap insurance policy against possible deficiencies. It can also make your diet easier, for example, by boosting your energy levels or helping you fight sugar cravings.

    I like to think of eggs as a base for other ingredients. Kind of like rice in Chinese cuisine, or pasta in Italian (that’s remembering my pre-low-carb days, of course). (more…)

  • 7 Low-Carb Potato Substitutes (and How to Cook Them All)

    low carb potato substitutesDo you miss potatoes on your low-carb diet?

    I used to miss them so much. Problem is, they are so versatile. So once you cut out potatoes, you also cut out fries, crisps, mash, roast potatoes… Sigh.

    Don’t despair. There is another way.

    The potato might be the most popular root vegetable, but it isn’t the only one.

    Its siblings in the root vegetable family are less famous but taste just as good.
