HELLO to anyone who’s still subscribed to this old-timey blog, or who comes across it some other way.
It’s been ages since I last posted here, and there’s a reason for that.
My writing is now happening on Substack.
If you like to dig into things and enjoy longform writing as a nice change from pithy quips on social media, please head over to my Keto Without the Crazy Substack.
Like this blog was back in the day, my Substack is a mix of physiology and biochemistry relevant to keto & low-carb diets, mindset tips to help you stay consistent, and of course, the occasional rant, all with what I hope is my characteristic sanity and down-to-earthness, which, if I do say so myself, is needed now more than ever. (Two recent rants include Stop Following People Who Scare the Crap Out of You and Keto & Carnivore Have a Toxic Influencer Problem.)
I have lots of topics queued up for future posts, such as:
- The difference between burning fat and being in ketosis. (They’re
not the same thing!)
- Keto and eating disorders: Can a way of eating that specifically restricts certain foods actually help improve conditions related to restricting food? Research so far says yes, at least for some people. (In the meantime, here’s a post that offers a different perspective on restriction: “Keto is Restrictive” – Dumb Things People Say About Keto.)
- Hair loss: The role of weight loss, undereating,
unrecognized nutrient deficiencies, and why biotin and collagen supplements are
usually underwhelming.
- What should your ketone level be — and does it even matter? If you’re feeling a bit impatient and don’t want to wait for that post to be written and published, check out this video in the meantime: What Should Your Ketone Level Be?
…and lots more!
Have requests for topics you’d like me to cover? I’m open to suggestions!
Leave a comment on this post, on one of my Substacks, or contact me directly here.
I look forward to “seeing” you on Substack. Writing is still my first love, and it feels good to be getting back to it.
Hi Amy! What are your thoughts on this new Keto Chow that’s being advertised all over fb? I thought a while back i saw you promoting it but was wary about it actually being legit. Can you comment on it please?
ReplyDeleteI've actually written several blog posts for Keto Chow over the years. :)
DeleteIt's a great product, but it's certainly not required on a low-carb or keto diet. I recommend it when people ask specifically for keto meal shakes, or when someone has to follow a liquid diet or eat only very soft foods for a while. So yes, it's legit -- and delicious! -- but don't feel pressured to buy it if you don't need it. But whether or not you need or want shakes, you can use the powdered mixes in all kinds of recipes that are fabulous. (Loads of recipes on their website.)
If you do want to try it, I happen to have an affiliate code. ;-)
