There are countless recipes for the low carb/keto pancakes floating all over the Internet, some of them great, some not so much. Here are two that I like; one is on a softer side and another with a bit grittier texture. Both are very easy to make and lend themselves to any kind of topping, from sour cream to berries.

Pork Smoked to Perfection
Carnivores, of which I am one, tend to appreciate smoked goods. One of my favorites is what I call PSP – Pork Smoked to Perfection. In fact, I like it so much that I make it in two different forms; we will go over both in this post.
Cultured Whipping Cream for Keto Desserts
Heavy whipping cream (HWC) is a long-standing favorite among low-carbers, and for a good reason. At 7g carbs per cup (when liquid), it’s ideally suited for use in low-carb desserts, adding to coffee etc. In this post, I want to show my favorite way to use it. We are going to ferment our HWC, turning it into a cultured cream – probiotic, slightly tangy, with a rich luscious mouthfeel, and with a different texture which I call naturally whipped.
Healing by Rebellion
Nutrition Advance has published my article “Healing by Rebellion.” It illustrates the challenges you are likely to encounter seeking the remedy for the obesity and diabetes. Please give it a read!
Is type 2 diabetes reversible? For one man, the answer is yes. In his own words, here’s the story of how Vadym Graifer freed himself from diabetes by tearing up the rulebook.
During my teenage binge-reading phase, I stumbled onto a slogan that left a strong imprint on an impressionable young mind:
Don’t swim with the current.
Don’t swim against the current.
Swim to where you need to be.
It sounded attractively rebellious, mature and self-reliant. I loved it. For a good reason too, as it turned out 40 years later.
Peanut Butter Bread Variation
By now it’s probably clear to you that I view bread as a butter delivery device. That was the role assigned to it in the flax bread and Paleo crackers posts. The thing about butter though is, you can never have enough delivery vehicles for it. Being always on a lookout for those, I couldn’t let the recipe posted by Sandy of Sandy’s Simple Recipes and More go unnoticed. Or untested for that matter. And an intriguing recipe it is. Peanut butter bread?
Rutabaga – Another Potato Substitute
The eternal quest for the healthier alternatives continues. This time, in an attempt to imitate potato fries, I tested rutabaga.
Dietary Guidelines, Once Again
United States Department of Agriculture just published a new report on a dietary assessment, essentially reflecting how we followed (or didn’t) their guidelines. This document covers the time period from 1970 to 2014, which closely approximates the time from adopting low-fat dietary advice to our days. Knowing how obesity and diabetes exploded over this time, it’s interesting to see whether we followed the advice or ate our way to diabetes against it.
Healthy Wheat-Free Crispy Crackers
You can find many variations of these crackers on the internet, as folks adapt it to their tastes. As far as low-carb eating goes, this is a pure beauty. They are:
- sugar-, wheat-, grain-, and gluten-free;
- rich in fiber, fat, and protein;
- lend itself perfectly to spread your butter on;
- fit in Paleo, Keto, and LCHF;
- crispy and chewy at the same time;
- very simple to make, as they require no specific appliances.
Weight Loss Progress, Visualized
The third part of The Time Machine Diet describes the nine-month long weight loss drive with Intermittent Fasting. The numbers from month to month may get a bit difficult to visualize, so I thought I’d add a few illustrations.
Bone Broth – Universal Healthy Comfort Food in a Slow Cooker
If you follow modern foodie trends, you are likely to be aware of what some consider “new fad” – bone broth. In my view, they couldn’t be farther from the truth. New? Fad? Come on, this is one of the most traditional dishes that grandmas all over the world made for kids that happened to catch the flu or cold. Warm, rich, ultimate comfort food, irreplaceable for the days when it’s cold and snowy outside – and, as many authoritative in the nutrition field sites claim, offering enormous health benefits.
