Outside+

Weight loss, less inflammation and a lower risk for ailments like type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease – who doesn't want to achieve these goals? Inflammation lies at the heart of many health conditions, and we could all use less of it. But trying to balance inflammation with weight loss and still enjoy every meal isn't easy. However, our new Keto 2.0 meal plan is designed to do exactly that.

We've created a new plant-centered approach to the keto diet, one that'll combat inflammation and ultimately help you achieve metabolic flexibility. Featuring recipes packed with anti-inflammatory fats, low-carb ingredients and the best flavors of fall (hello, pumpkin waffles!), you'll combat health woes while you eliminate your grumpy "hanger" altogether. 

In addition to this meal plan, you'll want to make sure to join us on October 18 for the Anti-Inflammatory Keto Reset with Chef Seamus Mullen. Over four weeks, you'll learn how to lower inflammation and achieve metabolic flexibility, all from a chef who's experienced the power of an anti-inflammatory reset himself. New recipes, a new keto meal plan, cooking and nutrition lessons – this program will cover it all!

It's a whole new way to do keto – or, even more simply, a new low-carb approach. With benefits for your blood sugar, inflammation and weight loss, this meal plan has it all. It's exactly what you need to kick off fall and reset your overall health.

We Can't Get Enough of These Smart Low-Carb Swaps

One of the toughest things about going low carb is giving up your favorite foods. You've got to say goodbye to bread, turn your back on chips, give up on pasta... but this isn't really as sad as it might seem. You can still enjoy your favorite foods – you just have to find the right low-carb substitutes.

Why sacrifice flavor, texture and all the mouthwatering qualities of high-carb foods when there are even better low-carb alternatives? When you go low-carb, you can have pizza for breakfast, or try creamy stuffed potatoes for dinner. Cauliflower alone will surprise you. Did you know this versatile veggie can stand in for everything from slices of bread in gooey grilled cheese to saucy BBQ wings? And it's our fave rice swap; just try a bowl of our cauliflower fried rice.

Make going low-carb easier – and tastier! – with recipes just like these. You might even prefer these delicious swaps over the carb-filled originals!
