When I cannot sit, I must do. My back injury has me limited, so I’m putting the standing time to good use, getting stuff done and cooking. I had this idea of making a pumpkin spice bagel to top with creamcheese frosting, so today I made it a reality. Here is the recipe – ballparkContinue reading “Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Bagel with Creamcheese Frosting”

Intermittent Fasting & Altered Mind-State
I have been getting back into Intermittent Fasting (IF) lately. Up until December 2020, I was BIG into it, and all through last summer and fall as well. 16/8 (16hrs fasted & 8hr fed window), the occasional 24HR, and even a few 60HR Reboots along the way. January, February and March were HUGE workout monthsContinue reading “Intermittent Fasting & Altered Mind-State”
Keto Chicken Pizza Crust
I’ve been obsessed with making keto “meatza” crust for quite some time now. The one pictured here is topped Cheeseburger-style. Get creative with those toppings! It is long overdue that I record this recipe, and you know I’m not about storytelling, so let’s get right into it: INGREDIENTS 1lb.

Stacked & Jacked: Savory Smoked Salmon Chaffles
Continuing on with my February protein experiment, and back on the chaffle train! Smoked salmon and dill chaffles topped with a creamcheese sauce and a smoked salmon “rose.” If you know me, you know I rarely use recipes. Hell, I rarely even need to measure. I’m an intuitive chef. This is all well and goodContinue reading “Stacked & Jacked: Savory Smoked Salmon Chaffles”

Keto + HIIT + Ketones: The Best Combo for Me
“You can’t lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.” I’ve heard this statement more times than I’d like to take count of. As annoying as I find it, I have found some truth to it. In my journey of losing 115lbs, I have learned a great deal about my body and how itContinue reading “Keto + HIIT + Ketones: The Best Combo for Me”
Mindset Matters
During the first thirty years of my life, I grossly underestimated the importance of one’s mindset and emotional landscape. I felt that I needed to be in control of my emotions, rather than to be in touch with them. I was raised in a typical mid-90’s New England culture. Many people connect on points ofContinue reading “Mindset Matters”
What has been fueling me lately?
Aside from my desires feeding my internal fire, I’ve been externally fueling up with Pruvit ketones. I was the biggest skeptic about these! I had read articles about how they are not “needed” – well, if that is the case, neither is coffee, but I sure do perform a lot better when I have it.Continue reading “What has been fueling me lately?”

About Transformation
I’d like to take a moment here to talk about “transformation” and what this word means to me. The physical elements of change are the most visible to others. For example, the fact that I have lost 114 pounds is quite evident. My face has changed. My body has changed. There is so much moreContinue reading “About Transformation”
