Ketosis Myths

Ketosis Myths The Ketogenic Diet has gone mainstream over the last couple of years or so. What was once a cult favorite among athletes, bodybuilders, and holistic health enthusiasts has become a household diet. If you haven’t tried Keto yet, you probably know someone who has – and who has probably had amazing success with it. Over the course of learning about Ketosis, formulating my own Ketogenic Diet, and writing articles to help others – like you lovely peeps – I’ve learned about many objections to Keto. Some of them were my own, when I was first learning about Keto,… Read More

Keto Chocolate Milk

Keto Chocolate Milk When I was pregnant, I just couldn’t get enough chocolate milk. Sure, I liked it before, but something about pregnancy that made me crave it so much I would go through a couple gallons a week. No kidding. Now that I’m Keto, Chocolate Milk is something I really wanted to replace. And not just replace, with a kind-of-ok replacement, but a chocolate milk that is completely delicious by even the most anti-keto, and make it contain a ton of protein. I’ve come a long way on this Keto journey, discovering some really awesome products that I never… Read More

December 2017 Blog Traffic & Income Report

December 2017 Blog Traffic & Income Report Hey there! Gretchen here, reporting on Fit Mom Journey’s traffic and income during December 2017. I wanted to start with a little story…. I’ve been thinking about restarting my StitchFix subscription to update my wardrobe a bit. In the process of getting my account reactivated, Google must have realized that I was looking for a closing subscription service. Over the next couple of days, I started seeing advertisements for a couple of new subscription services: ThirdLove and Dia&Co. ThirdLove is a bra subscription service that claims they’re pieces not only fit better and… Read More

Keto Beef Stew

Keto Beef Stew Soups and stews are on of my favorite things about the Ketogenic Diet. My husband is a huge fan of them, and thanks to my InstantPot and Slow Cooker, I find they’re very easy to throw together. Basically all winter long, we eat soups or stews for 4-5 lunches/dinners per week. Matt was a really big fan of this Keto Beef Stew. He’s a meat and potatoes kind of guy, so he was a huge fan of the big chunks of grass-fed beef, tender carrots, and and the perfectly-cooked baby radishes to replace potatoes. The filling flavor… Read More

Ketologie Bone Broth Review

Ketologie Bone Broth Review For almost a year now, I’ve been seeing bone broth everywhere. On blogs, Instagram, Facebook, and even in stores! It was always lurking there, on the bottom shelf of the broth section in Walmart and Target, and the price tag alone was enough to make me move on to cheaper stuff. Like most things, it took me a while to warm up to the stuff. After all, the thought of drinking broth for health benefits just seemed, well,…. Nuts. Just the thought of drinking the stuff turned my stomach, so naturally I thought the people hawking… Read More

Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops (THM:S, Low Carb, Ketogenic) I’ll be honest, I don’t know where I got this recipe from. I’ve been making it for years, but I don’t think I can take credit for it. However, even though this recipe isn’t technically mine, I really want to share it with you. Why? Because it’s the perfect dinner to help with keto flu (high in sodium), it tastes awesome, and recipes don’t get much simpler than this one. Sound good? Then here we go!

7 Health Benefits of Bone Broth Soup

7 Health Benefits of Bone Broth Soup Bone Broth has gone mainstream. What started as something you could only find at specialty grocers, or by making your own has turned into an empire. In fact, the last time you bought broth at Walmart or Target, you probably saw bone broth on the shelves right beside the chemical-filled broths. And, if you weren’t familiar with what it was, you probably saw the price tag on that bone broth and didn’t buy it. So why is bone broth popping up everywhere? Simply put, it’s because the health benefits of bone broth are… Read More
