Welcome to Cool Find Friday!
This will be a series in
which I introduce you to products I’ve found that make following a low-carb or
ketogenic diet more tasty and pleasant. I specifically said low carb or
ketogenic, and not “Paleo,” because some of the things I plan to write about will
have ingredients that would make a strict Paleo eater cringe. There might be artificial
sweeteners. Some of these products might have sucralose or stevia, instead of
organic, non-GMO erythritol defecated by rainbow-maned unicorns. There might be
gluten (*gasp!*). There might even be
a bit of soybean or canola oil. (Even though I wrote this post about canola being not-so-great. What can I say? Prominent low carb & keto
researcher Stephen Phinney MD, PhD, who has been conducting primary research on
ketogenic diets almost longer than I have been alive, promotes canola as a good
fat source in his books,
and even though I don’t use much canola in my own diet, when Dr. Phinney
speaks, I listen.)
If you’re looking for dietary sainthood, move along;
my blog isn’t for you.
Cool Find Friday will feature
food products, cooking gadgets, and maybe even some helpful websites or
podcasts I stumble upon. I might also include mini-book reviews – my take on a
book I’ve read, but not one detailed enough for me to make it one of my too-long full-length book reviews. *Shrug.* I dunno. It will probably evolve over time,
but for now, those are the types of things I see myself covering here.
