Send us a textDr. Westman Reviews: Pork Rinds vs Veggie ChipsWhen done properly, keto diets typically control appetite and reduce hunger so well that people tend to eat less without even trying. They’re also able to go much longer between meals without feeling a need to snack. But since we’re only human and many of us enjoy a crunchy snack now and then – or sometimes something crunchy as part of a meal – which is better if you’re following a low-carb or keto diet – pork rinds or veggie chips?...

Send us a textSome people who adopt a keto diet have no problem saying goodbye to old favorites like bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta. But others like to find keto-friendly substitutes for these high-carb foods. With the growing popularity of keto, there are pasta substitutes everywhere – some made from veggies, some from beans, and some made from other starches that are high in fiber. So, what are the best pasta substitutes for a truly ketogenic diet? Which are the least likely to cause prob...

Drink what you like, and always be mindful of the total carbs you’re consuming in any given day, from fo...

Send us a textWhen people find Dr. Westman and learn about his method for doing keto, they’re often surprised that the food list he’s been using in his clinic for twenty years doesn’t include nuts. That means no nut flours or nut butters, either. These things aren’t bad for you, but they’re very common “trigger” foods – for many people, once they start eating them, they can’t stop. (If your serving size of nut butter is half a jar, you’re not alone! 😆) Not only does the fat add up quickly tha...

Send us a textFor decades, people were told to limit fat in their diet—saturated fat, in particular.

You can use a fingerstick glucometer for a one-time measurement of your blood sugar, and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) that measure it 24/7 are increasingly available, too. Do you need to use one of these? They can be helpful, but they’re not necessary for most people.

Send us a textOne of the best things you can do to control your blood sugar is to avoid beverages sweetened with sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and other caloric sweeteners. Even for people not following low-carb or keto diets, ditching these can go a long way toward improving health. And that doesn’t mean you can never drink anything that tastes sweet. The way that Dr. Westman has been teaching keto for twenty years, you can use diet soda and other artificially sweetened drinks.This is a c...

Send us a textIt’s normal for your blood sugar to rise a lot after a meal, right?Not necessarily! A small rise is pretty normal, but you don’t want it to go up substantially. People with healthy metabolisms will see only a relatively small rise in blood glucose after a meal. The more sensitive you are to carbohydrates – the more insulin resistant you are – the more your glucose will rise. (But for some people, the rise in glucose will be minimal because a very large rise in insulin is keeping...

Send us a textLots of keto programs out there focus on following “macros” and recording your food in an app so you can make sure you’re getting enough micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). It’s not “wrong” to do this, but the method Dr. Westman has been using for more than two decades keeps things ultra-simple and helps people get great results without focusing on specific numbers with regard to macros and micronutrients. (Except for keeping your carbs to 20 total grams or fewer per day, of...

Send us a textHow much protein should you eat? It’s a controversial topic! Ask twenty different doctors and dietitians and you’ll get twenty different answers. The way Dr. Westman teaches people to do keto, the only things people need to control are the total carbs they eat and the amount of fats and oils they add to their food. For most people, protein is self-limiting because it’s filling and satiating (it helps you stay full for a while), so it’s pretty rare that anyone would “overeat” pro...

Even if what you choose to drink is very low in carbs (like dry wine or distilled liquor), those beverages still provide calories, and your body has to burn through the alcohol before you get back to burning fat. Your alcohol tolerance is also lower when you don't eat carbs, so you need to be careful about how much and ...
