Today on the podcast I am talking to Keto Neo, he runs the Keto Matrix podcast, this is quite the episode. Neo is a fascinating gentlemen to talk to and he is not afraid to get deep into things. I hope you enjoy our talk! As we do with all guest podcasts we start off with a stoic quote, "Look to nothing, not even for a moment except to reason." I enjoyed talking to him about this quote.  For the full show notes check out:  https://thrivingonfat.com/025 That is part one of our conversation, I hope you enjoy both the episode and the show notes to this episode.

 Today we are joined by a special guest that was kind enough to share her story. As we do with all of our guest episodes, we dive into the stoic quote of the day. Today's quote is: "Do not be ashamed of help." - Marcus Aurelius Throughout the episode, we keep coming back to this quote, because it is very true. When going through these lifestyle changes it is important that we reach out for help when it is needed. Likewise, we should also try and offer guidance when we can. This is why so many of the keto advocates I have talked to so far offer some type of formal or informal coaching because it offers mentorship, guidance, community, and support. Without those things change is not sustainable. Change starts from the fire of a strong why, however, the fire is nourished by a steady income of mentorship, guidance, community, and support. These are all interconnected. If one of these is lacking change can be difficult and hard to sustain.  For the full show notes checkout (there is a detailed breakdown

Today we are going back in time. This episode was supposed to come out much earlier, but some how it fell through the cracks. I hope you enjoy it!! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thrivingonfat/support

Today we start the episode off with a talk about breakfast on keto, if we are not wanting bacon and eggs. Here are some possible ideas: Fasting until noon (if you are not hungry) Fatty coffee (if you prefer to eat later in the day) Eating leftovers  Burgers  Fathead dough breakfast sandwiches (or any keto bread substitute) Duck eggs  steak and avocado Really you can have anything for breakfast, it all depends on what appeals to you in the morning. If you like what you are currently having then more power to you, but if you are looking for a change I hope this helps.  We then move on to catch up with Whit, she is 6 lbs down, which is awesome, she actually started losing weight after EATING MORE food. Yes you heard me, she is eating more, and losing weight. I have been trying to get her to increase her food, so this is AWESOME.  We also talk about what I have been doing lately.  Lately I have been trying a carnivore muscle building program, which I have been seeing so

  Today on the podcast we are talking with Danny Vega. We start off the episode with the Seneca quote: “He who is brave is free” We have an awesome talk that explores the notion that freedom comes from the bravery to be yourself and to be decisive about it. During the talk, Danny shares the book, "The Courage to be Disliked" (which is now on my reading list.) Our talk really focuses around finding what works for you. If you are just starting out it is okay to incorporate more of the keto replacement to the normal carb fare, but the important thing is that eventually, we can step away from those types of foods to really allow ourselves the freedom of foods.   If you wanted to connect with him you can find him on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/dannyvega.ms/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fatfueledfamily/ website: https://www.fatfueled.family/ As usual, if you want to say hi to the voice behind the One Take Stoic you can find me at: Thrivingonfat.com   Instagram: www.instagram.com/thrivingonfat/ 

As usual, we start the episode off with catching up with Whit and Ash. However unlike usual, we have a guest on the show, Zach (Ash’s brother). He is curious about LCHF (low carb, high Fat), and wants to ask me a few questions. Since he doesn’t mind being behind a mic I recorded our conversation.  We only had time for 2 questions but we go deep with them. His first question was about bacon fat. Specifically asking about why we do not shy away from using it is out cooking. The second part of his question focused on, why keto puts a focus on using fat as a fuel. More specifically, why we (meaning people who follow keto) view it as a more sustainable fuel.   To check out the full show notes checkout the newest post on my site: thrivingonfat.com/2019/02/25/016/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thrivingonfat/support

Here are the highlights from the show:  Quick correction, I said 1 in 3 people may have pre-diabetes or diabetes. Here are the current stats, according the <a href="https://stateofobesity.org/diabetes/">stateofobesity.org</a>: <p style="padding-left: 30px;">A record high number of Americans—40%, or more than 100 million adults—are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Without significant changes, as many as 30% of people with pre-diabetes will go on to develop type 2 diabetes[<a href="https://stateofobesity.org/diabetes/">1</a>].</p> Those are some staggering odds. If we do not fix what we are doing we will just continue to get sicker and fatter as Americans. This is not meant and a judgment, merely as an observation. A second correction, when talking about Type 1 Diabetes, I first say type 2, however, I do clarify. <a href="https://thrivingonfat.com/contact"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-994"

  A workout does not need to be confined to a box gym, special clothes, and a drive time commute. All a workout is is a session of strenuous work or exercise. Unless you are a competitive athlete, you do not need to make it to the weight rack every day to get a powerful exercise. Why I say this I am not saying that Olympic lifts or a well-formulated CrossFit WOD is in any way bad. Quite the opposite. I am just highlighting that working out can be done with only your body weight or the stuff you have around your house. If you check out the  post for this episode  on site I a few workouts to help you get moving and get you working out with no commuting to the gym.    As usual if you like what you have head you can follow me on  Thrivingonfat.com instagram: instagram.com/thrivingonfat Twitter: twitter.com/ThrivingOnFat Facebook: http://facebook.com/thrivingonfat --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thrivingonfat/support

Today is more of an off the cuff episode I did it in one take and I tried to make it less about me referencing studies and more about me helping you reframe stress. I have found that as I work with my clients, that learning how to reframe their life stress, many other problems seem to fall into place because that is where the rubber meet the road. I started writing out the episode I added references, and it was a well-researched script, but there was little in the way of tactical takeaways, So to combat that. The practical takeaways are in the recording, and here I wanted to share a bit of the research with you.  Check out the blog post for the rest of the notes.  If you struggle with implementing ways to destress, or if you need accountability to help you along the way reach out to me and I will help you in anyway I can. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thrivingonfat/support

Today, as usual, we are whit Whit and Ash. We changed up the way we are recording again. We are seeing if we can record while we are meal prepping for the rest of the week. Whit, Grayson and I went to the Farmers Market we have here in town, which was awesome! We purchased duck eggs, liver, and ground beef. While we were downtown we let Gray run about which tired him out, which is great for nap time. Ash has lost about 20 pounds so far (which is amazeballs), Whit, on the other hand, has not lost as much, but she is finding what works for her. She has started to rollerblade again which has both helped with her weight and her activity levels. Ash had a question for a friend about doing a vegetarian keto diet. My first go-to reference book would be Ketotarian, by Dr. Will Cole. However some quick tips for right now would be to start liking avocado, coconut, and high-fat nuts (ideally Pili nuts, or macadamia nuts). Also Dark Chocolate (80% or darker) is a great source of good fats, along with eggs since Ash's

Episode Notes Today I am interviewing Deeper State Keto Coach, Jonathan Shane. <img class=" wp-image-937 alignright" src="https://thrivingonfat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20190202_113903_0000.png" alt="20190202_113903_0000.png" width="248" height="248" /> Before diving into his story we talk about The One Take Stoic quote. You can find the notes for that episode here. When we get into the meat of the episode we focus on using a coach to help you get to your goals. It's important to note, that a coach is there to help provide accountability and structure to obtaining your goals. Eventually, we all run out of things we can internally learn, and in order to grow, you may need a guide to help you notice your weak spots and refine your current approach. Having an outside observer can sometimes be the difference between reaching and going farther than your goals. Coaching is very individualized, no two coaching plans will look that same, because an approach for a person gaining weight will look very

Episode Notes Today it is just Ash and I. We start off the episode with talking to Ash about her keto diet, and we catch up with what she has been doing. We are on the way to a Dentist's appointment for her, so she gets a bit loopy towards the end. While we are catching up with her we go talk about a few of her non-scale victories. Like her clothes fitting better. She's been having a lot of awesome success with keto, and it's not just a number on the scale. In some cases, the scale might not change, but your pants my fit looser. If that be the case your body is changing in a favorable direction. After talking about her non-scale victories, we talk about how she knows herself well enough to know that she can go off plan from time to time without causing her to tailspin into bad choices. This an important thing to note. If you choose to go off plan, make sure you do it in a way that works for you. She has the control to indulge in junk food if she wants to, however, I do not have that same luxury. I know t
