Low-Carb Hacks

Hey guys! The time is finally here, this will be my last episode. I've had a great time over the past year sharing my knowledge of the low-carb eating space with all of you but I've hit the end of the road. I hope that these episodes have brought some of you some great ideas on how to continue with the low-carb lifestyle.In this week's episode I have Part 3 of High Key's Maker Review. I cover their blondie mix, their corn bread and muffin mix, and their dark chocolate clusters. The dark chocolate clusters are AMAZING!!!High Keyhttps://highkey.com/

This week I dive head first into pancakes; the morning flapjacks we all need sometimes to get the day going! Unfortunately not all premade bag mixes are up to snuff in the low-carb realm. This week I cover offerings from Lakanto, Birch Benders and High Key and at the end of the episode I provide a super secret recipe of my own design. Birch Benders (try to find cheaper in your local store)https://amzn.to/39pJlB3Pancake Recipe:-1.5 tbsp of mix (2 cups coconut flour, 1/2 cup tapioca flour)-1/8 tsp of salt-1/2 tsp of baking powder-1/4 tsp of cinnamon-1/4 tsp of vanilla extract-1 large egg-1 tbsp of half and halfOptional toppings: Berries/nuts/chocolate chipsDirections: Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl. Mix all dry ingredients in another bowl. Combine wet with dry ingredients. Let stand for 2 minutes. Add mix to pan heated to medium-low heat. Add toppings. Flip once when the bottom is golden brown. Makes 1 pancake, double recipe for 2!Please check out my Patreon page and consider subscribing for some cool thank yous:https://www.patreon.com/lowcarbhacksInterested in asking a question that may get featured in a future Q&A podcast?

In the third installment of this What to Buy at... series I venture down the isles of my local Target to see what I could grab off the shelves in the low-carb realm. I mainly compare this ep to the one I did a little while back at Walmart. What are the differences? What did I find here that I wasn't able to find at Walmart? What did Walmart have that Target didn't?

A new year brings new hope and optimism for what lies ahead! In this ep I spell out my goals and plans for 2021. What I'm looking forward to. What goals I have set for myself (resolutions if you will). I also recap some points from my 2020 year in review podcast to build off of what has happened last year. It's always a good idea to review your biggest wins and opportunities from the previous year so you can map out where you're headed into the new year. What are some of your goals this year? What challenges have you set for yourself? I'd like to hear about it!

In the second part of what will likely be a 4 parter, I continue to tackle the multitude of options offered from the maker of High Key. This week I dive into a bunch of additional cookie options that were not covered in my initial product review on cookies, their lemon cake and muffin mix as well as their honey nut cereal. While I'm not a huge fan of their cookies I must say High Key is blazing a pretty hard trail for any other low-carb maker to follow.Previous episodes mentioned in this one worth checking out:Ep. 39 - Worst Products for 2020Ep. 38 - Maker Review: High Key Part 1Ep. 34 - Max Mallow Review + Rice Krispie Treat RecipeEp. 25 - Product Review: CookiesPlease check out my Patreon page and consider subscribing for some cool thank yous:https://www.patreon.com/lowcarbhacksInterested in asking a question that may get featured in a future Q&A podcast?

In the last week of the year I'm taking a look back on one of the craziest years to date on this planet. What were my highlights and what went well? What were my areas of opportunities? When I look back on the year of Covid it's easy to think on all of the things that went wrong or didn't happen at all. Instead, I try to look at the silver linings and focus on the hope that a new year brings. Whether you're new to the low-carb space this year, revisiting the lifestyle after putting it down for a while, or thinking of ways to further your low-carb journey; taking a minute to look back on the year and make notes on your progress is a great idea.Please check out my Patreon page and consider subscribing for some cool thank yous:https://www.patreon.com/lowcarbhacksInterested in asking a question that may get featured in a future Q&A podcast?

This weeks ep shines a spotlight on Base Culture's lineup of offerings. They primarily have almond butters, sandwich breads, brownies and sweet loaves. This week I cover all categories save the almond butter. While all of Base Culture's products have healthier and cleaner ingredients, only a couple options make the low-carb cut when it comes to our net carb count.

It's one of the few low-carb and keto makers that is sooo huge they need multiple episodes to cover the plethora of options available!

Howdy folks! This week's product review is all about bites! Those love-able, pop-able, o-so-easily consumable bite sized addictions that are hard to put down.

Hey guys! This week I cover those illusive food categories that just don't seem to do well in the low-carb space.

The next edition in the 'What to Eat When...' series is on topic of backpacking! Normally backpacking comes with it's own execution, temperature and bug challenges making it difficult to fully enjoy the back country. Add a poor diet on top of it all and you could be compounding those challenges even further. This week I discuss the things you should consider bringing with you when backpacking to stick with the low-carb lifestyle, no matter the conditions!Considerations for purchase (not sponsored at all):MealsNext Mile Mealshttps://www.nextmilemeals.com/collections/allPackit Gourmethttps://www.packitgourmet.com/Starkist Tuna and Chicken Packetshttps://amzn.to/37sjSpThttps://amzn.to/35nXOdcSnacksMunk Pack Granola Barshttps://amzn.to/2HcgcOvDuke's Jerky Linkshttps://amzn.to/37taEtFFbomb Nut Butterhttps://amzn.to/37uhAqsHigh Key Cookieshttps://amzn.to/3ocvSSnDrinksUltima Electrolyteshttps://amzn.to/3m6akVCSturhttps://amzn.to/35fzAC4Please check out my Patreon page and consider subscribing for some cool thank yous:https://www.patreon.com/lowcarbhacks

In this week's product review spotlight I take a look at some snack bars options from the maker's Keto Krisp, Stoka and Munk Pack. There seem to be a few types of textures that are most popular; the traditional granola, the thicker and crispy variety, and the smoother and light/airy types. Each of the makers discussed in this episode fit one of these categories. I also cover a couple others real quick to stay away from. My synopsis so far is that just like cookies there aren't a ton of great options to choose from but there are a couple winners you need to check out!Keto Krisphttps://amzn.to/373gstxhttps://ketokrisp.com/Munk Packhttps://amzn.to/373IV2vhttps://munkpack.com/Please check out my Patreon page and consider subscribing for some cool thank yous:https://www.patreon.com/lowcarbhacks

In this week's cast I discuss tips and tricks on how to deal with hitting the wall, or rather what to do when you're having a tough time either seeing the results you want or sticking to the low-carb way of life. I group this segment into three main areas:1) Exercise (avoiding chronic cardio).2) Counting net carbs more strictly.3) Going Keto on more days than you you might be used to.Of course fasting is also another great option to roll into the fold here as well.The second half of the episode is all about what to do when you find yourself slipping for and extended period of time. I'm not just talking about an extra cheat meal or two here.

Hey guys! This week I take a dive into the hypothetical and (hopeful) future of low-carb eating. Wouldn't it be nice if we had fast food and restaurant options where we could just go and order anything off the menu and not feel horrible afterwards? I riff on not only how great this would be but also what I'd love to see at this type of establishment. Low-carb, keto, primal and paleo eating is an ever rising trend.

The cast this week is all about a popular low-carb recipe for chaffles. The cheese waffle is quickly shooting up the charts for a quick and easy at home treat. It can be made either in a salty or sweet form so it's rather versatile. It's also a very easy recipe to make for even the novice chefs (like me).Cheese Recipe-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (or other blend) cheese-1 large eggDirections: Wisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Spray waffle maker and preheat. Sprinkle some additional cheese on the bottom of the grid. Pour in half the mixture if making on Dash mini waffle maker.

If you're seeing results for yourself be very proud and enjoy reaping the benefits of this lifestyle! Now that you're seeing results you may be tempted to try and spread the love to other people you know. Proceed with caution! Most people will be defensive by nature and resistant to change.
