Dealing with sleep-deprivation & cravings [01:40]
We can talk about a hundred different strategies for dealing with the results of sleep deprivation but the bigger question is: How do you conquer the sleep problem?

All about almond flour [11:06]
Almond flour can be healthy in the right amounts. The problem is, it’s being heavily used on most keto products because of its availability and it’s easy to bake with.
It’s extremely calorie-dense and easy to over-indulge in. Overuse of almond flour causes plateaus, constipation and even weight regain.
To avoid these issues, use almond flour as a treat and not a staple in a keto diet.
Listen now on how you can make coconut flour as a great substitute too!
Will eating more fat with a carby food result in a lower glycemic impact?
[18:07]
Some people are doing keto for weight loss and others are doing it in pursuit to reverse health issues such as insulin sensitivity, high blood sugars issues and metabolic diseases.
Lowering the glycemic load can help reversing these issues.And, Yes, eating fat and protein along with a carb is a way to lower the glycemic impact of a food.
Compared to a low fat meal with the same amount of protein + carb… the high fat meal will have a lower glycemic impact.
