We eat cyclical ketogenic -- six days keto, one day of slow carbs. Most days we eat within a 4-6 hour window. It sounds restrictive until you realize how much better you feel, think, and sleep.
Our go-to meal structure: large salad + 1-2 roasted vegetables + protein. Simple, endlessly variable, and genuinely satisfying. We don't count macros obsessively -- we've dialed in the framework and let it run.
The products below are what stock our pantry at all times. We've tried dozens of brands for each category. These are the ones that survived.
French Gray Sea Salt -- the only salt we use. Mineral-rich, unprocessed, and a completely different flavor profile than table salt or even pink Himalayan.
Cold-brew coffee and matcha are our daily caffeine sources. Lower acidity, smoother energy, no crash.
Grass-fed ghee -- high smoke point, incredible flavor, and shelf-stable. We cook nearly everything in it.
C8 MCT oil -- the most ketogenic fraction of coconut oil. Goes in coffee, dressings, and smoothies. Sustained mental clarity without the jitters.
Nut butters: coconut, cashew, walnut, almond. We rotate through all four. Each has a different fat profile and flavor -- variety matters more than picking a single "best."
Macadamia nuts -- highest fat-to-carb ratio of any nut. Perfect keto snack, incredible roasted with a pinch of salt.
Hemp seeds -- complete protein, great omega ratio, and they go on everything. Salads, yogurt, smoothies. One of the most underrated pantry items.
Our daily stack: collagen peptides for joints and skin, curcumin (Meriva) for inflammation, whey protein isolate post-workout, exogenous ketones for transitional days, and electrolytes to stay ahead of keto depletion.
Magnesium-based powders for sleep -- this single addition made the biggest difference in our recovery and rest quality. These are the supplements that produced noticeable results. Everything else got cut.
Amazon Subscribe & Save -- pair with coupons for bulk savings on staples you reorder every month.
Vitacost -- regular 20% off sales on supplements, pantry items, and personal care. Our go-to for restocking.
Thrive Market -- annual membership, 25% off first order. Best prices on organic and specialty items we can't find locally.
