Just a few basic ingredients for delicious keto low carb white chocolate truffles with just 2 grams net carbs!

In fact, some of my best recipes were born from pivots. These Sugar‑Free Keto White Chocolate Truffles are the perfect example. What started as my third attempt at a white chocolate fudge (yes, third 😅) turned into something even better — creamy, rich, scoopable…

“I just bought a new BPA-free tupperware set.” This comment, coming from my friend Anna, caught me off guard. Anna’s a highly competent law professional. She’s a critical thinker and she fights in the heavyweight division when it comes to cutting through BS. But the Anna I knew was falling into some painful traps that seemed to be bypassing her inner hawk-like skeptic. She’s wanted to lose around 15lbs for some time now and came to me to share how stuck she was feeling in this goal. She brought up an avenue she was exploring: the new BPA-free tupperware set.…

This week I’m sharing a couple of research articles that were published some time ago but have been largely ignored. I saved references to these articles years ago.

However, women in the 50-plus demographic have issues that arise with the onset of menopause that lead to osteopenia,…
