OtherBasics
I am passionate about what I put into my body and have in my environment. The problem is that it can take a TON of time to search and compare the quality of products. (Besides, claims like "Non-GMO" versus "Organic" versus "Raw" can be confusing!) So, I have saved you some time by listing the following quality products that are the basics of the kind of wellness lifestyle I lead. I stand behind all of the following given that I use them for my own life sustainable ketogenic/low-carb lifestyle. I hope they will make your life as easy and healthy as they have made mine.

Information is a powerful thing. And, I am not looking to re-create the wheel. The research (which is extensive) is out there. Here are some central sources of information related to the extensive list of research done on the ketogenic/low-carbohydrate way of eating, listed even by topic and medical diagnosis. They are organized alphabetically.

*Keep in mind two things related to recipes: First, make sure to check the ingredient list and macros with any recipe in order to ensure that it is a good fit for your body’s needs (e.g. macros, allergies). Second, various supportive communities on Facebook can be not only a great source for recipes, but also a great source of accountability and encouragement. However, as with any social media, ensure that you are getting accurate information before taking anything as truth. Do your homework!
