Cinnamon Swirl Cheese Cake . . . (I think this will be a desert on the menu in Heaven)
While at the house last night, Jimmy Moore, his wife Christine, and my wife Tiffini made this delicious cinnamon swirl cheese cake from The Ketogenic Cookbook. I think I have a new favorite!!! I seriously have not had a better cheesecake and this one is lowcarb, gluten free and keeps you in ketosis. Thank you Jimmy Moore and Maria Emmerich for such a yummy recipe. (I even had some for breakfast this morning . . . . mmmmm).
If you want a great low carb recipe, pick up a copy of the book and turn to page 336.
Until next time . . . keep the ketones high!
Homemade Rootbeer – Ketosis Style!!
ery October I get a hankering for homemade root beer. But it is usually loaded with sugar. Thanks to Maria Emmerich and her amazing recipes, that doesn’t have to happen this year. She just posted this on her site today and I can’t wait to try this as I sit by my fire pit roasting some hot dogs with my kids . . . Thanks Maria.
I pasted a copy of her root beer image below just to make you drool, too . . .
Link on the recipe at her site HERE.
(Another great use for the SodaStream as well . . . the day just keeps getting better!)
Low-Carb Protein Shake
A number of my patients have asked what I use personally as a protein supplement and whether I use protein shakes. I’ve struggled to find a great tasting protein shake that does not contain any artificial sweeteners (see my article The Skinny On Sweeteners) that raise the insulin levels. Most of the pre-prepared shakes (including the Adkins, EAS, Muscle Milk, and many others) will significantly slow weight loss and knock you out of ketosis due to an insulin response stim
ulated by drinking them.
My sweet wife just perfected our family’s favorite high fat, low carbohydrate protein shake. Oh, it’s good and it’s filling. You’ll love it and you won’t be hungry for at least 3-4 hours after savoring this sweet taste-bud sensation.
This is a great shake for a mid-meal snack or a quick meal on the go.
Dr. Nally’s Low Carb High Fat Protein Shake:
- 3/4 cup of frozen strawberries
- 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 scoop of ISO-100 Gourmet Berry flavor protein powder (carb free)
- 1-2 drops liquid Stevia
- 1 1/2-2 cups of heavy whipping cream
[One serving (~ 2 cups) is 4.5 grams of carbohydrate]
Blend to preferred texture. . . (may add more heavy whipping cream if it is still too thick).
Enjoy!!
Mom’s Cream Cheese Waffles
Mother’s Day is a great event in our home, and traditionally, it is a chance to make breakfast for Mom.
In our home, Mom has always loved waffles. But changing to a low carbohydrate diet put a damper on the waffles for a while, until my sweet wife found and perfected the following recipe. (She adapted this recipe fromJennifer Eloff’s Cream Cheese Bran Waffle recipe found in her book, Splendid Low Carbing for Life Vol 1.) These waffles are amazing! They are now lovingly referred to in our home as “Mom’s Cream Cheese Waffles.”
Because I’ve found that Splenda© spikes the insulin and slows weight loss in a significant percentage of my patient’s we’ve changed up the sweetener below.
Breakfast for Mother’s Day in our home consisted of Mom’s Cream Cheese Waffles, freshly grilled thick slice bacon and strawberry flavored homemade whipped cream to top off the waffles and was easily prepared by my 13 year old daughter. It’s a perfect Low Carb Mother’s Day meal that’ll satisfy the waffle craving and still give the gift of “ketosis”.
Enjoy!

Low Carb Cheese Cake
My amazing wife, among her many talents, makes a wonderful low carb cheese cake. She has taken the recipe found in Maria Emmerich’s “Secret Weight Loss Recipes” and modified it to our family’s taste. It has quickly become one of my family’s favorites.
