Brett Altena & Lizzie Loua Dot Ceremony Kent Altena 2021-06-14 | With Elisabeth and Loua family being recent immigrants from Guinea and 80% of their family still there, it was important for them to have a traditional Dot (Wedding) ceremony. It involves asking her parents for permission to marry their daughter you sought earlier and placed your shoes by her door.It is rich in ritual and humor amongst the parties and was a way in the old country families & villages were brought together. The Dot is somewhat like a dowery but more rich in meaning than simply giving Kola Nuts, linen, and money.Because it is all done in the traditional language of Guinea, Laura and I couldn't represent ourselves. We had a vicar or representative (friend of their family) do our part for us. The language isn't French but an offshoot of it. The Loua and Catty family were all very nice and inclusive, so we understood what was going on at each step. Thank you.
Keto Athlete: Rogue Fitness Bear Hug Challenge Kent Altena 2021-02-14 | Rogue Record Breakers Bear Hug EventSometimes Strongmen do dumb stuff because others did it before you. Today was that day. @roguefitness is having online submission for a "Bear Hug" event a gear less 200# Sandbag Hold for Time. My coach @jakeharre beat the current leaders time, which got other gym Strongmen to do it. I'm still exhausted and sore from doing Farmers Holds yesterday, but it's called Strongman not Smartman for a reason.I changed my mind and decided to try to meet what the other guys did. This event is a test of stubbornness and ability to breathe through it. As I have said, I am competitive to a fault sometimes, so Challenge accepted.122 seconds done...

Atkins Diet Videos: Competing in my first Keto Strongman (Sioux Falls Strongest) Kent Altena 2018-10-20 | #Strongman #StrongmanCompetition #KetoLiftingI had to split my Strongman video into the training video and this competition one as I knew combined it would have been well over ten minutes. I hope you enjoy the look at my first dipping my toe in the Strongman water and seeing my wife doing awesome as always. She ended up getting second in the Master's but was competing the whole day. On September 8th, we competed in the Sioux Falls Strongest United States Strongman competition. I was in the Men's Novice division, and Laura competed in the Women's Masters division. Scoring sheet for the day can be found here:http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/0bb576_5ef2a1bed4874a8f85d81678160f8a1e.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0wzYJv-kN6DKMCtSu8GJFBwumeio6eBrkHLsmJLkzQ2NNe0F88ooOeAYwThank you guys for all the support in the past, and I look forward to competing in the future and doing even better.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Videos: Training for my First Keto Strongman Competition Kent Altena 2018-10-17 | #Strongman #StrongmanCompetition #KetoLiftingContinuing the story about my Strongman journey, I wanted to detail how I got ready or not for the Strongman competition. I am one who is always looking for a challenge as a means to motivate and keep things fresh. The first time I lost all the weight I was simply cardio, cardio, and more cardio to keep fit, but this time I am looking to keep it varied to hopefully be more successful and more able to handle injuries. In this video, you get to see me preparing for one of the toughest tests I have ever signed up to do. Most of the weights I had never even came close to approaching pre-event, and the question was how to approach it. As my letter said, prepping for this competition gave me more respect to other Strongmen who prepare this way every week for years. I am rather a new new convert, so it was an interesting gauge to see how far I had come and how far I had left to go.Text from Instagram post pre-event: "We had our final run through of the Strongman implements this morning. The more we do this the more impressed I am of @altenalaura and other strongmen. Weight has a theoretical quality of "oh I could lift that" or "dang that's crazy." Regardless of which, just having it on you or carried in your hands brings a tangible quality of suck to the whole idea.I am by no way *ready* for Saturday. I will likely fail to complete multiple events. As a guy who hates failing, I am coming to terms with that at a NOVICE level. How far will I go with 500# yoke or will I get the 200# sandbag I couldn't today? No idea. I will get chalked up and see. The one event I am most confident in is the Farmer's Walk where I did nearly competition weight today at 170# in each hand.What impressed me about Laura was she nailed all her competition weights today. She is ready. She's done all the hard work for years and once again gets to prove what she has against other strong women. So kudos to her. She like I said is amazing."** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Videos: Road to my First Strongman Competition Kent Altena 2018-10-14 | #Strongman #IowaGames #StrongmanCompetitionI wanted to show how I got inspired to do my first Strongman competition. The first time I lost and maintain the weight loss I was simply a cardio machine and would run miles every week. The answer to why I changed my mind and tack is rather simple -- my wife Laura. She inspires me daily to push and achieve more, and her Strongwoman journey is just more of the same. Without her blazing the trail in the 2018 Iowa Games, I probably would not have attempted my own journey. ** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Video: My Second Keto 112 Pound Success Story Kent Altena 2018-10-10 | When I published my first Success Story video, I never thought I would have to have a second one. Life however presented some challenges and forced me to rededicate myself to the diet and exercise again. In just a few days over one year, I lost 112 pounds from my high weight of 337# back down to 225#. In the process, I tweaked what my diet and exercise plan actually was.When I started this journey on September 7th, 2017, my goal was to get thin and fit again. I was going to lose the weight just as I did the first time -- following the Atkins Diet primarily Extended Induction and cardio primarily running. After my last video and the strength gains I was seeing, I came to the realization I needed to tweak things from a standard Atkins or Keto diet. I was facing many days of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and not seeing the growth in muscle that I wanted. I changed my program from Low Carb, High Fat plan (roughly 1g Protein to 1g of Fat) to a Low Carbohydrate, High Protein plan. It was all stimulated by Dr. Ted Naimann high protein experiment that the Ketohacking MD Podcast did in April. My plan from April to reaching my goal weight was:* Targeting 1g of Protein per pound of ideal body weight (~240g daily)* Targeting 2:1 grams of Protein to grams of Fat ratio per day (120g daily)* 25g net carbs Many days I would well exceed the protein target, but I tried to use Fat as the lever for the overall amount of Calories in the day. I found that if I overate my grams of Fat, that my overall Caloric intake would be much higher, so I had to keep a conscious eye on it or at least have energy expenditure to match it.For exercise, I was working out every day with a variety of cardio: running -- sprints, 5Ks, intervals, and increasing # of long runs; stair climbing, rowing, and elliptical for easy workout days. I also lifted heavy 3 days a week and eventually competed in a Strongman competition. I have already completed my 100 5K runs in 2018 goal I set in January, and my half marathon race in 10 days.
Atkins Diet Recipe: March Progress Report and Role of the Scale Kent Altena 2018-03-30 | In an effort to keep you guys up-to-date on my progress, I have continued my direction to goal. I have lost another 14+ pounds since the last video. I have lost 75 pounds in 27 weeks. In the last 7 weeks, I have lowered my body fat by 8 percent - losing strictly adipose tissue while gaining over a pound of muscle mass. I have decreased my 5k time by over a minute and started a new weight lifting program. (5x5 for deadlifts, squats, and bench). Perhaps the best place to be in the know about my weight loss is either follow me on Facebook (facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos ) or Instagram (instagram.com/kentaltena), but I am looking forward to making videos again soon. I have numerous recipes that I have posted to FB and Instagram, which still need to be recorded. Thanks for the support and interest in my weight loss.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Vlog: 2018 Progress Report Kent Altena 2018-02-08 | I wanted to provide an update on my weight loss success since my last video. My work has had me traveling every week in January, so my ability to focus and get a video done has been limited. I didn't want my absence to be concerning to those who don't follow me on Facebook (facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos ) or Instagram (instagram.com/kentaltena)The short answer is I am doing well. ** 13.2 pounds down in January, ** 450,000 total steps, ** 2944 Active minutes, and ** 10 5k's ran.I have also had a new max leg press (753# 6 times) and bench press (225#). I also now fit into 38x34 pants down from 48x34. With this success in January I am looking forward to what February will bring and pushing to achieve it.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Keto Crustless Quiche Kent Altena 2018-01-04 | With the new year, I see many people starting or restarting the Atkins or Ketogenic lifestyle. I wanted to make a number of key core recipes that I have found beneficial within Induction or starting a keto diet. What makes a recipe core or most beneficial? It is typically one easy to make, versatile regardless of tastes or what is in the fridge, and one that might make meal prep ahead of time easy. This crustless quiche meets all those criteria in spades and should help most new Atkins followers.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Korean BBQ Wings (OWL) Kent Altena 2017-12-28 | In response to the poll I posted, I wanted to make more Keto-Friendly Asian recipes. I will be releasing a number of recipes that are Asian-inspired if with an American bent. My apologies if I massacre the "gonchujang" sauce name, but my long time viewers probably expect nothing less. I bought my sauce at Amazon (http://amzn.to/2DWyLj2 ), but you can find it at Wal-mart grocery store too. Note: if sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it with some water or chicken broth.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Healthy Low Carb Oil Less Frying with Avalon Bay Digital Air Fryer Kent Altena 2017-12-23 | With the Avalon Bay Digital Air Fryer, you can enjoy low carb diet-friendly and healthy fried chicken! I was offered the opportunity to review this Air Fryer and experience how frying without oil can help in the kitchen. I put the Avalon Bay unit through its paces with three different foods:* Frozen Chicken Wings* Frozen Low Carb Chicken Nuggets (breaded with Parmesan and Pork Rinds)* Bacon wrapped Jalapeno PoppersI thought the combination of all three would prove whether or not this kitchen appliance deserved a place on my counter top. I was happy to see how simple and easy to use the digital temp control and timer made cooking. I didn't have to worry about overcooking my foods, and the clean up was extremely easy -- less than a minute in the sink for a quick wash and rinse. Food-wise, the foods from Avalon Bay were just as crisp and done as in the deep fat fryer, and they had none of the oil or greasy aftertaste common with fried foods. Having the Jalapeno Poppers done much quicker than in the oven was definitely a bonus feature. All the foods prepared for this video were rapidly eaten by the family if that indicates their vote for Air Fryer.

Atkins Diet Product Reviews: Fauxtatoes & Mashed Cauliflower Low Carb Showdown Kent Altena 2017-12-12 | Atkins Diet Videos Fan Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideosIn this video, I do blind taste test comparison between the mashed cauliflower commercial products that have entered the market place and my go to standard for holidays, fauxtatoes recipe. Will the commercial product prove more delicious? Both my wife and I will sample both and determine which one we like more -- Birds Eye Mashed Cauliflower or Fauxtatoes. In the end, the absence of butter probably was a critical error for one of the options. Butter certainly adds to flavor and mouth feel of the food, and critical component of most mashed potatoes. Kudos to my wife Laura for agreeing to participate in front of the camera for this episode.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Lasagna (Ham Pasta) (*IF) Kent Altena 2017-12-08 | Facebook Fan Site: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideosIn my first recipe back, I wanted to share probably the second most made personally recipe I make for my family. It is a quick and easy recipe for Low Carb lasagna. While others might make their own version of low carb noodles using cauliflower or similar to LC pizza crust. I use deli-sliced ham as that noodle layer to separate the ingredients. It works well and doesn't affect the flavor of the overall dish.As mentioned, I have lost 4 pounds this week, raising the overall total to 47 pounds in 12+ weeks. These videos are a bit tough for me to watch as while I definitely feel thinner. Seeing my side profile shows the amount of work left to be done. In the end, it is good motivation to get back to the gym and work off that frustration.Kudos to Linda Genaw (http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb) for original inspiration of this recipe.Low Carb Lasagna with Ham Pasta (*IF)1 pound ground beef (85%)1 cup onion (reduce to lower carbs if desired)1 cup Pasta Sauce, no sugar added (Muir Glen option - http://amzn.to/2kaWWRS) 4-6 oz deli-sliced ham2 eggs1 cup Ricotta cheese (exchange with cream cheese to make Induction Friendly)1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated1 tsp garlic powder1 tsp Italian seasoning8 oz Mozzarella cheeseServes 6.Nutrition Info (per serving): 554 Calories, 9g Carbs (1g Fiber, 8g Net Carbs), 41g Protein, 39g Fat 1. Preheat oven to 350F.2. Brown Ground Beef in Skillet with onions. Salt and Pepper to Taste. Drain excess fat.3. Add Egg, Ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to food processor. Process until smooth.4. Add 1 cup of no sugar added Pasta sauce to browned ground beef.5. In 9x13 or Lasagna dish, layer Ham, one-third meat mixture, half egg-cheese mixture, and ~2 oz Mozzarella cheese. Repeat for second layer. For final layer, layer one more ham, final meat mixture, and remaining Mozzarella cheese. 6. Place pan in oven for 40-45 minutes until cheese on top is golden brown. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.* Reducing the onion to 1/4 cup and exchanging cream cheese would lower the per serving net carbs to 5.5g net carbs.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Vlog: Why is Exercise So Important? Kent Altena 2017-12-01 | Facebook Fan Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideosOne of the questions I get asked is why do I spend all this time (~80 minutes daily) in the gym when "Weight Loss is 98% diet." While I question the percentage (92.15% statistics are created to supported your argument after all), my answer is why do you want to stay in "Beginner Mode." We received this gift of a new body, and some people want to leave the wrapping on and preserve it for fear of damaging it. I on the other hand want to try out the new capabilities and do new things. Coming from a guy who has ran marathons, fought a fire as a firefighter, and tried to keep up with my kids, I want to enjoy myself. I want to do the things I used to be able to without restrictions or concern if my body or lack fitness is going to be the anchor. This is why I like to focus on "fitness" as a determinant of success rather than simply weight loss. Weight Loss will certainly help me get more fit and to that end I want to achieve roughly my goal weight, but I perhaps more important want to achieve a goal body. To that end, I am working with a trainer on weaknesses come from years of inattention or sedentary work. Note: I get it that not everyone can run marathons or be a firefighter, so what I do at the gym might not be for everyone. I do think improving one's fitness however does apply and pushing one's boundaries. Is that going for a walk with the dogs or doing pool or chair aerobics? Perhaps, but as Andy Dufresne said, it's time to "get busy living or get busy dying."Note: I know after shooting my collar is rolled, but being 45 and a dad, I think I am granted a pass from looking perfect. :-)** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb / Keto Thanksgiving Prep & Recipes (2017) Kent Altena 2017-11-26 | In this video, I wanted to give a behind the scenes look at Thanksgiving in the Altena household. Most extended family holiday meals are done at my house or with my prepping the meals for the 15 people in my wife's family. (in-laws) Not all of the family members are low carbers, so I typically have 5 or 6 main meal items that everyone enjoys and can eat. I then also include some items that only the high carbers will eat, like Company Potatoes. In this video, you will see my Spatchcocked turkey (i.e. butterflying a turkey), my favorite low carb sausage stuffing, broccoli bacon salad, smoked BBQ ribs, jalapeno poppers, fauxtatoes, and low carb smoked ham, covered in mustard & LC BBQ rub. I also made a low carb gravy for the Turkey. In the end as always, the meal was a hit for everyone. They had their high carb desserts to round out the meal, while I had my share of poppers. This meal would work well whether on Induction for Atkins or following a Ketogenic diet. Note: my sweetener of choice is liquid sucralose, but feel free to substitute one of your choosing. I try to give the dry sweetness equivalency to know what you should try to match, but of course sweetness levels are to taste.Final Note: I fixed the originaI version of the video that my video editor created issues. This version should be a bit less cringey, but in the future, I might do voice overs with my Yeti Blue Mic if the wireless mic doesn't get better.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet: The Journey Back (the short answer) Kent Altena 2017-11-23 | I discovered how much harder making a video describing my own failures at maintaining my weight after 11 years at goal weight.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Western Salad Dressing (or French) (IF) Kent Altena 2014-02-08 | ** Check out my Low Carb cookbooks, Low Carbing Among Friends, Volume 1 & Volume 3 -- http://bit.ly/lcafvol1 & http://bit.ly/lcafvol31 **Western or French salad dressing was one of my favorites growing up as a kid. My grandma used to put this dressing on everything including fried spam, which I swear I had almost every day one summer. The regular version is essentially just oil, high fructose corn syrup, and red food coloring, so I wanted to make a low carb, Induction Friendly alternative to it. The hot sauce in this recipe really gives a kick to it at the end, and the optional xanthan gum helps it to stick to the salad veggies.Ingredients:1 cup light-tasting olive oil1/2 cup low carb ketchup1/2 cup apple cider vinegar1/4 cup Splenda or liquid equivalent1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp onion powder1/4 tsp garlic powder1/4 tsp paprika1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional)Dash hot sauce (Omit for French-style salad dressing)Makes 16 servings.Nutrition Info per Serving (2 tbsp):124 Calories, 13g Fat, 0.6g Total Carbs (0g Fiber), 0g ProteinUpdate: I wanted to provide an update on where I am at and how I am doing:http://bit.ly/AtkinsUpdate** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Mock Danish (IF) **2014 Version** Kent Altena 2014-01-25 | This is my first recipe redo video where I remake an old recipe I have posted previously with new recording equipment and possibly better ingredients. I remade my first recipe I ever posted to Youtube -- Low Carb Mock Danish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ4LE2Bn-2k). I originally made the video with a laptop and webcam taped to a shelf in my kitchen. It frankly got embarrassing to send people to the original.This snack or dessert is what got me originally through my Induction period of Atkins. It is a quick easy recipe and also a great way to get flax (and hence fiber) into your diet. It may not be the prettiest of all my recipes, but what it may lack in beauty, it more than makes up for in flavor. The little bits of cream cheese and the glaze on top completes the package.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Faux Mac N Cheese (IF) Kent Altena 2014-01-22 | I announced a change in my YouTube channel in this video. I am now planning to release two videos a week if possible (not traveling) -- one new recipe video and one other video (redone old recipe on new equipment, product review, educational video, or just simply a vlog or commentary). I have a backlog of new recipe ideas that should last until April or May. Let me know what you think in the comments.One of the biggest problems for new low carbers is what to pair with their main dish, Often times, they'll end up defaulting to lettuce salads or simply vegetables with butter.By having a rough chop of the cauliflower, the intention is to have the texture of macaroni in this dish and a great flavor from the cheese sauce. My kids love this recipe a lot, and often I have to make a double batch if I want to have any.Ingredients16 oz cauliflower4 oz cream cheese4 oz sharp cheddar cheese4 oz colby jack cheese2 tbsp heavy cream1 tsp minced garlic6 slices bacon1/4 cup green onion1 tsp chicken bouillon 1/2 tsp black pepperMakes 8+ Servings.Nutrition Info per Serving (half cup)196 Calories, 16g Fat, 5g Total Carbs (1.4g Fiber), 9.7g Protein(IF) = Induction FriendlyUpdate: I know some have asked where I am and why haven't I been posting videos lately. My job has been busier than I anticipated since posting the video, and unfortunately the plans for more videos took a turn the opposite way. Having three high schoolers also has demanded more of my time, and some things needed to change or be eliminated. I am still around but not in social media as much anymore. You can still find me on Facebook (Kent Altena). Thanks for all your friendship over the years and wanted to wish you the best!** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Product Reviews: Mexican Chicken with Vegetables Frozen Food Kent Altena 2014-01-18 | Atkins Diet "Clean Group" - http://www.facebook.com/groups/AtkinsDietCleanGroupAtkins Diet Videos Fan Page - http://www.facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideosIn my quest to find a good Atkins or low carb frozen food, I have stumbled across one of the new ones called Mexican-Style Chicken and Vegetables. This one features an enchilada type sauce covering chicken, cheese, and vegetables (primarily onions and peppers). This one is very similar to my Enchilada Chicken Paillard recipe, which can be found here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ5JvNbe4hoReview: The flavor of this one was really good. I like spicy and this one had a moderate amount of spice to it, but not so much to turn off my family, who might not have a cast iron stomach. It could use a dollop of sour cream, which would also boost its Fat content (roughly 50% of the Calories). The chicken pieces are large and numerous. The 2 questionable ingredients are near the end of the list, and the only other knock is I wanted more when I was done.Nutrition Info:Serving Size - 1 trayCalories: 360 (180 from Fat)Total Fat: 20g (50%)Protein: 33g (36%)Total Carbs: 10g Fiber: 3g (Net Carbs 7g)** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Product Reviews: Swedish Meatballs Frozen Meal Kent Altena 2014-01-09 | **Facebook Atkins Diet "Clean" Group - facebook.com/groups/AtkinsDietCleanGroupIn another attempt to diversify their frozen meals, Atkins Nutritional has released a number of new frozen meal options. I purchased a number of the new ones and wanted to perform the same review I did previously. I had high hopes for these when I saw them in the store because how hard would it have been to get the meatballs and gravy correct. My Swedish Meatball recipe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToOjiAYoj84) is one of my favorites for parties.The appearance of the dish is particularly not intriguing. The tray is gray meatballs with gray gravy and gray mushrooms. It has also way more mushrooms than I anticipated. The taste of the gravy is pretty good and thickened. The problem again comes with the ingredients. Rather than simply being beef and pork meatballs, it also contains textured vegetable protein. It becomes therefore just another dish full of soy, which I don't particularly want due to all the associated issues.It would be nice to have a no compromise meal that I could simply just recommend.

Atkins Diet Product Reviews: Orange Chicken Frozen Meal Kent Altena 2014-01-07 | I know I have been away from making videos for awhile as work has been extremely busy for me, but I want to get seriously back in front of the camera and get serious about my diet again. (I have stayed on Atkins and Low Carb, but due to travel and work, my attention has been on work rather than exercise and eating to hunger.) Here's a link to my Orange Chicken recipe:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83zWfwPf_NoI return with a review of the new Atkins Diet Orange Chicken Frozen Meal. It was pretty tasty, and the chicken chunks were pretty large especially in comparison to other frozen dinners. The smell and flavor was authentically orange and not chemically. The meal did feature a number non-Induction legal vegetables like edamame and carrots. Some of the "less than 2%" ingredients like carrot powder, raisin juice concentrate, and orange juice concentrate were also very dubious.The nutrition info for the meal was:1 serving (1 tray-255g or 9oz)Calories 420Total Fat 30gSodium 880mg *I am not concerned about sodium*Total Carbs: 10gFiber: 3g (Net Carbs=7g)Protein 26gSo nutritionally, it is pretty close to the Induction standard (65-30-5).In conclusion, the meal was pretty tasty. Of course, I wished there was more to it as I was still hungry afterwords, but for smaller hungers, I believe it would be sufficient. My concern is the the "Good for all Phases" label when it clearly has ingredients that are not Induction Friendly. It is frustrating when Atkins Nutrition makes statements that they don't need to make. If they want a more open diet, then write a diet that allows all this food in Phase 1. Just please stop making it more difficult trying to explain this diet to others.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Easy Low Carb Ice Cream (OWL) Kent Altena 2013-06-03 | My other low carb ziplock ice cream video is really good, but it does require a lot of work with shaking the bag for quite awhile. This one is only about 2 minutes of prep and 1-2 hours of chilling required. It is probably more accurately a frozen dessert rather than ice cream as there is no cream in this recipe. It is also more versatile as one can add the ingredients you like to the recipe like the second variant of chocolate peanut butter ice cream, which is my favorite. If you want you can run the batter through an ice cream maker, and it should be done sooner. The food processor already beats in significant amount of air, so it should not take as long as regular cream-based ice creams too. Let me know what is your favorite ice cream flavor in the comment section.Ingredients:1 cup cottage cheese (full fat, small curd)1/4 cup coconut or almond milk1 tbsp natural peanut butter2 tsp cocoa powder1/4 cup Splenda (or liquid equivalent)1 tsp vanilla extract1 tsp glycerin or vodka (optional)Makes 2-3 servings.Nutrition Info Per Serving (1/2 cup):170 Calories, 8.9g Fat, 5.5g Total Carbs (0.8g Fiber), 16g Protein(OWL) - Appropriate for Ongoing Weight Loss phase due to presence of cottage cheese** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Fool Proof Homemade Mayonnaise (IF) Kent Altena 2013-05-24 | I just received my 16,000th subscriber today, and I wanted to share this simple, easy mayonnaise recipe. One question I routinely get is where to find mayonnaise without any added sugar, and I have tried and failed making mayo many times before trying this recipe. My answer was the added sugar was probably miniscule, so do your best and accept it. This recipe however changed that answer for me personally. I think two things definitely help this recipe emulsify and hold together better than other mayonnaise recipes:* Stick blender ( beats enough air and breaks up the egg to allow for the emulsification process to occur)* Coconut oil - the high melting point enables the oil to hold together in fridge and never separatesI'll probably do another recipe in the future about Omega 3 vs. 6 fats and how much I hold to the ratio of 1:2 that some doctors advocate.

Atkins Diet Product Reviews: Dreamfields Pasta Kent Altena 2013-02-03 | I have been asked about Dreamfields Pasta quite often by viewers, especially in my Italian low carb recipe videos. There has been quite a lot of press about Dreamfields and whether or not their method to listing digestible carbs is correct. A number of notable low carbs and one particular study specifically showed it having the same impact as regular pasta:http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/dreamfields-president-mike-crowley-we-stand-behind-the-nutritional-claims-of-our-product/10785http://www.dietdoctor.com/the-dreamfields-pasta-fraudhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3024385I had always accepted the fact that my response would have been the same. Today I wanted to test that assumption and was meticulous with my preparation, so that no one could say I broke the prebiotic matrix surrounding the carbohydrates by over cooking it. I tested for 2 hours after the first consumption, and I was surprised by the result.My blood glucose did not change by more than 5 points from the initial 67 reading on the glucometer. I still don't plan on featuring it in my recipe videos as I know many of my viewers can't consume it yet being a latter OWL-phase food, but it is nice to know that the option does exist for my two Atkins-following kids who are not sensitive to gluten.One of the things I still need to do is do a similar taste against regular pasta. I will be sure to post the results here.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Katsu Chicken (IF) Kent Altena 2013-01-18 | In partnership with FaveHealthyRecipes, I was requested by one of my viewers to make Katsu Chicken low carb. Being from the middle of Iowa, I had no idea what Katsu chicken is and consequently had to google it. (http://justonecookbook.com/blog/recipes/chicken-katsu) It is a popular dish in Hawaiian and Japanese restaurants and is essentially a breaded chicken cutlet with a hot, spicy Asian BBQ dipping sauce. I always love to take former high carb favorites and make them low carb, so it was on.I think it turned out pretty well, and my wife and kids like the spicy BBQ sauce.

Atkins Diet Product Reviews: Atkins Frozen Food Kent Altena 2012-12-11 | I was asked by Atkins Nutritional to do a product review on their new lineup of frozen dinners. I am excited by this group of products both for myself and those just starting the Diet. These products are all 6g net carbs or less and should be acceptable for all phases of the diet. I am often asked questions by those just starting who don't know how to cook and simply want something as easy and quick as they used to eat. Often times, these people fall into hot dogs and green beans syndrome. Where they are eating quick processed foods with little nutrition. I see these meals as a delicious step up from those meals. Personally, I would use these meals when traveling and as a means to not have to eat out every meal. Often times when traveling, I will have a room fridge with freezer and a microwave, and these would a way to have a good meal whether for breakfast or dinner. If you didn't feel like cooking, these meals would definitely be a good option.The only nits I have would be the same nits with any preportioned foods. They are typically "one size fits all" foods, and the meals were a bit small for me. They were good size and value for most, but being active, I would typically have a bit more. I know some will complain about the ingredients in the less 2% area of the ingredients, like potato starch or modified food starch, but I am not concerned for myself. The amounts are minimal, and while I might talk about it in terms of perfection. The meal is certainly no worse than going out and eating those foods. I really think these foods will benefit a lot of new low carbers who are adjusting to the diet and need an easy way to adopt the lifestyle. I hope though that they'll learn to make these foods for themselves too in time.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Cherry Cheese Pie (OWL) Kent Altena 2012-12-03 | In partnership with FaveHealthyRecipes, I made this dish for Thanksgiving dinner, and it was a favorite amongst low and high carbers alike. I initially shot this video a week ago, but the video was lost to the great /dev/null in the sky. If you love a good cheesecake, I am pretty sure you'll love this cherry cheese pie. Due to the cherries, this is for the Ongoing Weight Loss phase, but the cherry sugar free pie filling only adds less than 1g per slice of additional carbs.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Halloween Sugar Cookies (E-IF) Kent Altena 2012-10-13 | In partnership with FaveHealthyRecipes, I wanted to make some dessert or snacks relevant to the upcoming holiday, Halloween.

Copy of My Atkins Diet Story Kent Altena 2012-10-11 | aka how one Iowa guy lost over 200 pounds and gained his life back. I can not say enough about how positively the Atkins Diet and low carb in general has been for me. I went from a 429 pound guy who could barely make it up a flight steps to a guy running half marathons and rejoining the National Guard. My health is fantastic, and my blood work (cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, heart) could not be better.** Like the Atkins Diet Videos Facebook Page: facebook.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Support my Patreon Site: patreon.com/AtkinsDietVideos** Visit my Website: http://www.atkinsdietgeek.com** Instagram: instagram.com/kentaltena** Facebook - facebook.com/kent.altenaPlease join me for my continued weight loss journey and subscribe to my channel.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Banana Flip (OWL) Kent Altena 2012-08-27 | In partnership with FaveHealthyRecipes, this recipe is similar to my very popular low carb whoopie pie recipe. One viewer said it reminded them of their banana flip snack cakes they used to eat pre-Atkins, and I was happy to oblige them in making one officially for them. It was extremely simple to make, and my kids wolfed down the first batch before I even had a chance to take a photo of them. I took that as a good sign they were pretty tasty.
