LOVE SOURDOUGH BUT YOU'RE WATCHING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR?
Look at this REAL KETO SOURDOUGH 🍞✨
As you can see on the Libre 3 chart in the photo, my continuous glucose monitor showed a negligible 0.2 mmol/L shift after eating 2 slices of my own 5-Minute 1-2-7 Keto Sourdough Blueprint bread. Essentially a flatline.
I’m wearing the Libre 3 for 15 days (available over the counter in Canada, though requirements vary by country) to test everything I eat. Even though I consume this bread daily, seeing my own real-time glucose data was incredibly validating.
I believe sourdough is the healthiest bread on the planet, and now it's low carb, high protein, and high fiber.
Macros for 2 slices:
226 Calories
4g Net Carbs
16.8g Fiber
28g Protein
6.5g Fat
And it's REAL sourdough—authentically fermented without shortcuts, vinegar tricks, or faux doughs.
The 5-Minute 1-2-7 Blueprint:
5 Minutes to prep
1 Loaf per week
2 Slices per day
7 Days a week (then repeat!)
Note: This is a full course and method, not just a quick recipe. Baking keto sourdough requires learning how to feed your starter and manage fermentation, but once you master it, you're set for life.
The dehydrated keto starter ships directly to your door 🚪📦

AUTHENTIC KETO SOURDOUGH?
If you love bread but know that even traditional sourdough is high glycemic and high in net carbs — you're not alone. And if you've been exploring keto bread or keto sourdough, here's something important you need to know:
Most keto sourdough recipes are NOT real sourdough.
They may be low carb and low glycemic — but without authentic fermentation, you're missing all the potential health benefits that make real sourdough worth eating in the first place. So if you're going to bake it at home, why not bake the real thing?
👉 Grab my FREE Eat Bread; Lose Weight Guide here:
sinlesssourdough.com/shop/
The guide will explain everything you need to know!
This is my 5 Minute 1-2-7 Keto Sourdough Blueprint — shown here baked in the oven, though it works beautifully in a bread machine too.
🎥 Watch the full beginner video here:
https://youtu.be/pJb-uln_huI
It's my beginner video course that teaches you how to bring your keto sourdough starter to life and bake one loaf per week.
Feed. Bake. Eat. Repeat.
Just 2 slices per day for 7 days — and those 2 slices deliver:
Only 4g net carbs
17g fiber
28g protein
I eat this bread every single day. It's not a compromise — it's the real thing, reimagined for keto. 🍞

Most "keto sourdough" isn't sourdough at all — it's faux dough. In this video, I break down the 5 faux doughs, the mistakes almost every keto baker runs into (whether it's a recipe online or the ingredient list on a grocery store keto bread loaf), the real fermentation science behind authentic keto sourdough, and exactly how to spot the difference in seconds.

I tested every version of these 90 Second Keto Southern Pecan Pie Squares so you don't have to waste a single ingredient. 🧪
From super clean and functional to full-out decadent — the ingredients you choose determine the experience you get. Almond milk keeps them light and lean. Fairlife whole milk makes them rich and custard-forward. Heavy cream takes them completely over the top. The pecans, the chia gel, the brown sugar sweetener, the cinnamon — all of it comes together in 90 seconds in the microwave.
Whether you are living a flexible keto lifestyle, a low-carb lifestyle, a diabetic-friendly lifestyle, or a low-glycemic lifestyle — there is a version of this recipe built exactly for you. You pick your milk. You pick your sweetener level. You pick your crust or no crust. The structure does the rest.
And yes — they are absolutely decadent. Toasted pecans, brown sugar sweetener, chia custard that sets firm enough to slice and melts the second it hits your tongue. Four generous squares from one 90-second microwave run. As low as 1.1g net carbs per half square.
This is not diet food. This is Southern pecan pie — rebuilt from the ground up for the way you actually eat.

I Just Received The Most Beautiful Comment And Felt Compelled To Share! 💕
Someone left the kindest comment recently and rather than just replying privately I wanted to share my answer with all of you — because something tells me I'm not alone in this journey!
At 64 Compliments Mean Everything! 🪙😂
Thank you so much for this beautiful compliment — at 64 I treasure these moments more than you know! I want to share some things that have genuinely helped me because I'm certainly no expert — just a woman who has figured out a few things along the way that have made a real difference in how I look and feel!
The Real Secret To Walking Consistently 👟
I'll be honest — I'm not someone who loves exercise for the sake of exercise! The only reason I walk consistently is because I found a friend whose company I absolutely love. I'm not walking to exercise — I'm walking to catch up with someone who stimulates my mind and makes me laugh! The miles and the time just fly by without me even noticing. By the time we're done I've burned calories, cleared my head, and had the best conversation of my day. Find yourself a walking friend who makes you forget you're exercising and I promise you'll never skip a walk again! 👯♀️💨😂
I Never Touched A Cigarette 🚭
I want to be clear — this wasn't some great act of willpower on my part. I simply never started and I'm so grateful for that every single day. Smoking ages you from the inside out — it breaks down collagen, reduces circulation to your skin, and accelerates every single sign of aging. If you're still smoking please know it's never too late to stop — your skin and health will begin to recover almost immediately! 🚭
My Relationship With Alcohol Ended 6 Years Ago This Thanksgiving 🦃🥂➡️🚫
This one was a personal decision that took courage and I don't share it to judge anyone — I share it because it genuinely changed my life. My relationship with alcohol ended 6 years ago this coming Thanksgiving and it was one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. Alcohol is one of the most underrated agers out there — it dehydrates your skin, disrupts your sleep, affects your hormones, and adds empty calories that go nowhere good. Six years later my skin, my sleep, my energy, and my clarity are all so much better. I share this humbly — everyone's journey is their own! 💕
What Too Much Sodium Is Actually Doing To Your Face And Body 🧂😱
I'm not a doctor or nutritionist — just someone who reads a lot of labels! But keeping my sodium super low has genuinely made a visible difference and I think it's worth sharing why.
What excess sodium does to your LOOKS:
Causes fluid retention that makes your face look puffy and swollen — especially around your eyes and jaw
Creates that permanently tired "bloated" look that no amount of concealer can fix
Breaks down collagen over time leading to premature wrinkles and sagging skin
Reduces circulation giving your skin a dull, grey, lifeless appearance
Makes dark circles under your eyes significantly worse
Causes your ankles and hands to swell making you look and feel heavier than you are
What excess sodium does to your HEALTH:
Raises blood pressure putting strain on your heart and arteries
Makes your kidneys work overtime trying to filter the excess
Causes chronic dehydration even when you're drinking water
Increases your risk of heart disease and stroke over time
Disrupts your hormonal balance
Makes weight loss significantly harder because your body holds onto water weight
Contributes to bone density loss over time — especially important post menopause!
The sneaky part? Most sodium doesn't come from your salt shaker — it hides in processed foods, sauces, condiments, deli meats, canned goods, and restaurant meals. You can be eating what feels like a perfectly healthy meal and consuming a shocking amount of sodium without even knowing it! 😱
I started reading labels and it genuinely transformed how I look and feel. Your face may thank you within days of reducing sodium — the puffiness can disappear surprisingly fast! ✨
The Fat Situation — Even Healthy Fat! 😂
Oh this one makes me laugh because I really thought healthy fats would be fine! Nope! My hips have absolutely no interest in the difference between healthy fat and unhealthy fat. They just see fat and think "yes please, we'll take that!" 😂 Even avocado has to be carefully monitored around here. My hips have NO boundaries and zero shame about it! 😂
Why Strict Keto Stopped Working For Me After Menopause 🎢
I want to share this because I struggled with this for a long time and felt like something was wrong with ME. It wasn't. Before menopause estrogen helps your body burn fat really efficiently — like a well-oiled machine. But when estrogen leaves? That machine gets a lot more complicated. Your body starts storing fat differently especially around your middle and your liver has to work much harder to process dietary fat. So even though strict Keto works beautifully for many women it simply stopped working for my post menopausal body — and that's okay! 😤
The Keto Flu Almost Took Me Out! 🚛💨
I tried so hard to push through the Keto Flu and I just couldn't. Without estrogen my body struggled so much harder to adapt to fat burning that it hit me like a truck and kept me from living my life. I wasn't just tired — I was completely non-functional! If this has happened to you please know you are not weak — your body is simply responding to a very real hormonal change!
Why Even Pure Protein Kicked Me Out 🙋♀️
Here's the part that really confused me — even pure unadulterated protein would kick me out! How is that even fair?! 😂 Well here's a simple explanation: after menopause your body can get more aggressive about turning protein into sugar for energy. So even the cleanest protein can cause an insulin response. This is completely hormonal and 100% not your fault ladies! Please don't be as hard on yourself as I was! 💕
Why I Don't Believe In Diets — I Believe In Eating Healthy 💪
I'm certainly not here to tell anyone what to eat — we are all so different! But what works for me is eating healthy flexible Keto — low carb, low sodium, lower fat even the healthy fats — and listening to what MY body actually needs rather than following rigid rules that were never designed for a post menopausal body in the first place. It's not a diet. It's just eating in a way that makes me feel good and that I can sustain for life! ✨
The Old Dog New Puppy Myth Is Real! 🐕💨😂
I have to give credit where credit is due — my husband Shawn who is 18 years younger than me deserves a lot of the credit for keeping me moving! You know that old dog new puppy myth? Turns out it's completely true! That man keeps me moving whether I like it or not and I'm genuinely grateful for it even when I'm pretending not to be! 😂
It Takes A Village And I'm Grateful For Mine! 💉✨
Finally — and I say this with complete honesty and zero shame — I believe in working WITH what you've got AND calling in the professionals for the things you simply cannot do on your own. My cosmetic team handles the things that no amount of walking, low sodium, and carefully monitored avocado consumption can fix!
It truly takes a village friends. A village, some good habits, a sober Thanksgiving, a wonderful younger husband, flexible Keto, and a really talented cosmetic team! 😂
I am deeply grateful for all of it — every single piece of this village that helps me show up as the best version of myself every day! 💕
No shame in that game! 💪
👇 Tell me in the comments — what's YOUR biggest post menopause discovery? I know I'm not alone in this and I'd love to hear your story!
