“Before picture I was 30 years old the after picture 40 years old!
I never felt amazing even in my 20’s, always craving sugar and feeding my body bad things. I was never a good eater I used to love eating chips, fried food, desserts all day everyday!
It was a struggle for me to lose the weight and stay healthy! I was always on a YO-YO diet until I got introduced to the KETO DIET from a very close friend (who himself lost a lot of weight on it) and my life changed completely!
After a year of being on keto I saw Maria Emmerich’s posts on YouTube and OMGGGGG when I followed her keto way I felt my body healed (BIG TIME) and than I got certified through her Certified Keto Coaching program to start helping other people and sharing my story and my experience with others BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!
If you are struggling with weight loss, keto is the way to go! You are going to heal your body and reach your goal very fast!
KETO ON my friends” MJ

“Hi Maria and Craig! Thank you so much for creating the keto coach/supplements add on courses. The information you provided in this course was absolutely invaluable.
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics, alongside a Bachelor of Biomedical science, and I can tell you, I have learnt more in your course about nutrition and healing people with food, than either of these two courses have offered me so far! ” – Nicola

“Having been in the carnivore and ketogenic space for over 7 years, I came to the Keto-Adapted coaching programs with a decent amount of knowledge and an established coaching business. What I didn’t realize was how much more I was about to absorb, learn and use in my own coaching practice. The courses themselves, and the incredible bonus content, have ramped up my knowledge considerably, especially with difficult health situations I might not have yet encountered.
Alongside the courses is the added benefit of getting time with Maria and Craig to ask questions, receive guidance and stay current in the industry with any changes and philosophies.
Being part of the coaches Q&A forum also allows me to get my questions answered quickly, ultimately not only benefiting myself but also my clients.
The Keto-Adapted coaching programs are a great tool to help set yourself up for success at a value unheard of compared to similar programs.
Every coach needs mentors and I am honored that The Emmerich’s are a significant part of mine.” Lisa

“To expand my nutritional health knowledge and make me a better coach, I was looking for a health coaching program that would provide a solid foundation in the science and functional medical aspects of Ketogenic and Carnivore diets, and Supplements. With integrity, this course by the Emmerich’s included many peer reviewed studies, medical articles and presentations to confirm the information that was being taught. Maria and Craig taught me the nutritional healthy way to coach my clients into a new lifestyle. They share how to overcome anticipated obstacles, dispel myths and mistakes which will help my clients succeed. This challenging program was very well done with step by step videos to make the large amount of information manageable. The weekly coaching calls and access to large database of questions and answers helped me get answers to things I was not sure about. Maria and Craig responded to my questions quickly if I did not find them on the coaches Q&A page.
The meal plans and thousands of recipes I was given access to changed my perspective on what it is to eat healthy and still have delicious options in any food category. Little did I know that this exceptional coaching program would change my health as well. I am not longer on thyroid medication and am no longer pre-diabetic. Maria and Craig are a true inspiration with all of the hard work and creativity they put into the program and their recipes. From their teaching, I am grateful to now have the ability to help my clients on a broader level.
If you’re looking for a professional, science based, turn key program to start or enhance your coaching program and your health I would highly recommend Maria & Craig Emmerich’s Keto Adapted coaching program.” Cari Kamp

“I have been a nutrition consultant for 30 years and I found Maria a few years ago. I completed their certification programs and my business is booming. It was a huge game changer and I am able to help clients reach goals that were impossible to achieve without the Emmerich info. Best program ever! Don’t waist time with anything else. Love it ” – Deann
“I decided to get certified in keto/carnivore and just wanted to let this group know of the hard work Maria and Craig Emmerich have put into their program. The most impressive part is they share their information with everyone on this group for free. I feel their passion. I’m very excited making this step into my health and future.
I have been following them for about 6 months after coming from another keto group that carb cycles. It was not working for me. Not only have I lost weight but I lost pain and can finally workout and not have to take a week off because I’m so exhausted. I’m almost 55 with a neck fusion c5-c6 and I haven’t had a headache in almost 2 months. I had headaches every single day for years. I have only had 1 migraine this year.Eternally grateful for the information you you both provide.” – KimCLICK HERE to get your spot! Space is limited!

The BEST Ricotta Meatballs (Gluten Free & Keto)
I never thought I liked ricotta. Growing up, my mom would use cottage cheese to make lasagna and the ricotta cheese I tried was gritty and flavorless.
This was until I was on my keto retreat in Italy last year! (My wish is for ALL of you to join my keto retreats so you can learn and have the most intimate consult while traveling the most beautiful areas of the World!) Italian ricotta is totally different and it is totally delicious! It is not grainy, it is not flavorless! They often serve it at breakfast with tomatoes.
When I came back home to Wisconsin, I missed Italy and Italian food so much! I ordered octopus and swordfish from Fulton Fish Market because I ate that daily in Italy and I found a website that sold Italian burrata and Italian ricotta. With the extra ricotta, I decided to write a recipe for all of you for the BEST Ricotta Meatballs!
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST RICOTTA MEATBALLSI always have Butcherbox ground beef and ground pork in the freezer. Did you know that most Italian sausage has sugar? I have never found Italian sausage in the store without sugar, which is another reason I love Butcherbox! They do not have sugar in their Italian sausage! So to make my meatballs, if you do not have sugar free Italian sausage, use plain ground pork.
Ordering food online helps me save a lot of time so I can do things I love like spending time with my family instead of shopping a fluorescent lite grocery store and waiting in lines!
BUSY FAMILY DINNER TIPSWhen I make meatballs, I do not do one batch. I usually do a quadruple batch and store extra meatballs unbaked in the freezer. On busy days, all I have to do is throw a bunch on a baking sheet, let them thaw an hour before baking them and I have a delicious dinner in no time!
And I also always have a loaf of my protein bread (carnivore bread) in the freezer which makes great garlic bread to go with the meatballs.

This testimony made my YEAR!!! Melissa is a patient at an assisted living home in Arizona that exclusively makes only my recipes for their residents. I’ve been getting testimonials like this for months!
“Back in May we started our assisted living resident Melissa on a journey to restore her memory.
We gave her a cognitive impairment test called SLUMS to baseline her. She scored a 15/30. Well within the range saying she had Dementia.
Then we fed her Maria Emmerich’s recipes and gave her a bunch of other non-pharmaceutical therapies.
In September she scored a 22/30 which indicates mild cognitive impairment.
Yesterday she scored a 28. She’s in the normal range!
This Wednesday she will be moving back home to live on her own! We couldn’t be more excited. We celebrated with a going away party and instead of cake gave her a steak.
And thanks to Maria for helping us with Melissa’s success.” – Hal Cramer, A Paradise for Parents

Easy Keto Chex Party Mix
I have GREAT NEWS! I just made the BEST recipe for The Original Chex Party Mix made keto!
Growing up, we always had the Original Chex Party Mix for Super Bowl parties and holiday gatherings!
I haven’t thought about it much until I used Redmond organic Season Salt!
The combination of seasonings make this healthy keto recipe for Chex Party Mix really delicious and tastes just like the original recipe!
The texture and the flavor of my easy keto Chex Mix recipe really took me by surprise! Even my boys gobbled my recipe up and I had to make another batch!
I actually prefer my recipe for Keto Chex Party Mix without the nuts! Feel free to omit them for lower carbs and better P:E ratio!
WHERE TO GET INGREDIENTS FOR EASY CHEX MIXIf you haven’t noticed, I do not allow advertising on my site.
I just didn’t agree with some of the products that were advertised. They were keto products, but they were unhealthy and I would never personally eat most of the products. It was hard to say no to blog advertisements; they pay thousands of dollars a month, but I just felt uncomfortable about having the products I didn’t recommend on my website.
Instead, I have created a shopping list where you can find all the healthy ingredients that are difficult to find in the grocery store (and if you do find them, they are often very expensive).
I have done a lot of detective work and found the lowest prices on for all of the products I use and love. Everything from food, pantry items, kitchen tools, supplements, and skin products are on my list.
I rarely waste time in the grocery store because I find everything online for a way better price!
All you have to do is click on the words in my recipes and it will take you right to the correct item. If you add them to your cart I get a tiny commission that helps me afford to keep practicing recipes (Recipe experimenting can costing me a fortune!…but I love helping!).
I also have GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS on the list!

Thank you Maria and Craig Emmerich for all of your guidance! I am beyond happy to have found this way of eating and will never return to where I started. I am stronger, healthier, younger and feel fantastic. Keto on!

Keto Pavlova
I am new to to this dessert but it is super tasty! Pavlovas are a delicate meringue-type dessert that isn’t overly sweet.
TIPS ON MAKING PAVLOVASMy biggest tip when making a pavlova is that meringues and humidity do not mix. If your kitchen is very humid, you will not end up with a crispy outside.

To make my keto pavlova, I used Further Food collagen and gelatin!
Do not skip the gelatin in my recipe. If you do not add it, the pavlova will fall.
I love Further Food gelatin so I am super excited they have a huge bag! I use their gelatin in my protein sparing Hawaiian rolls, my ice cream recipe, my dairy free chaffles and more!

“Hi Maria! I wanted to send you this special testimony!
You’ve been helping me with general health since 2016 with your books, did a health assessment in 2018 for general health and another one for fertility in 2022 after 2 chemical pregnancies losing 2 babies.
One month into your supplement plan and I got pregnant. Baby was born in July 2023 and we are both well, thanks God!
Thank you so much for all your efforts, for persevering when everything was against you and for everything you both do!
May God bless you and your family and give you strength and courage to continue revolutionising the world of health!
Thank you so much!” Bianca

The BEST Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Let them rest after coming out of the oven.
This is from one of my recipe testers: “This will be my go-to PB cookie from this day forward!! Delicious!!
I was worried because warm out of the oven they were falling apart. I put them in the fridge and when cooked completely were perfect!! It was so nice to have a PB cookie! My mom made them for us as kids
![]()
And when my son, Collin asks for a second or third, you know it’s good!
Measure the butter!
I made the mistake (which you can see on my YouTube video) of not measuring the butter. I ended up with flat cookies that tasted great, but obviously had too much butter (yes, too much butter is a thing:)

To make my peanut butter cookies, I used Equip Prime Peanut Butter Protein!
Using peanut butter protein powder in my cookie recipe helped to lower the fat and calories a lot while still providing a delicious peanut-buttery flavor!
I am also always looking for ways to add more protein and less fat to my recipes. Equip Prime Protein is perfect for accomplishing such a goal!
Equip is so generous, they are offering 15% off when you use code MARIA!

Keto is great for so many reasons! It helps lower blood pressure, it helps reverse insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes, it helps stop migraines, it helps with ADHD and so much more. But lets be honest, 99% of people try keto because they heard it can help them lose weight. Many times people try keto and they are quickly frustrated because they are not seeing the results they thought they would.
Why is that? Well, they are eating way to much fat and calories. Yep. Sorry to tell you, calories do matter. Biology still matters even on a ketogenic diet.

“Hi Maria! I thank you for doing what you do. You have played a part in saving my son.
My 6 year old started having non febrile seizures in 2021.
The Lord brought a nutritionist into my life and recommended you.
I followed your advice and he stopped having seizures!
Slowly over the course of 22 months I have started reintroduced foods to see if he could handle them.
This past Tuesday I reintroduced GLUTEN. The next day he had his first grand mal seizure in 22 months!
It’s clear to me that health comes from clean unaltered food. I will never give him gluten again.
But wanted to say thank you. I had 4 neurologist specialists tell me that seizures are not food related. My thorough record keeping proves otherwise.
I’m grateful for you!” Jess

Infrared Sauna Blanket Benefits

INFRARED SAUNA BLANKET BENEFITS
1. Fat Loss and Muscle Gains
Infrared Saunas help promote fat loss and muscle growth by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing muscle protein catabolism. Intermittent hyperthermia has been shown to reduce insulin resistance in obese mice. The results were a 31% decrease in insulin levels and a reduction in blood glucose levels, both of which can contribute to an increase in fat loss as well as muscle growth. It has also been shown that a 30-minute intermittent hyperthermic treatment can cause a significant expression of something called ‘heat shock proteins’ in muscle, which is correlated with 30% more muscle regrowth after a week of immobilization.
Even if you don’t exercise yet you take saunas, you can still maintain muscle!
2. Helps Immune System
Studies show that after infrared saunas, there is an increased number of white blood cells, lymphocyte, and basophil counts. These studies are proving that saunas help to stimulate the immune system. Additional research also found that saunas are able to significantly reduce the incidences of colds and flu. Taking regular saunas lead to a 30% less chance of getting a cold or influenza.
There is another interesting study (source) showing that cold exposure or cold therapy, followed by heat like a sauna can increase our “natural killer cells”. Natural killer cells are cells that consume pieces of virus and also release cytokines which aide in the immune response. It has been shown that people who end up needing intensive care due to COVID-19 are very low in these natural killer cells (NK).

There is significant increase with heat, then cold and then exercise (incrementally more natural killer cells with each done after each other). So cold therapy with sauna and exercise is a great combo for building immune health.
3. Skin Health
Infrared Saunas cause deep sweating and help remove bacteria out of the epidermal layer of the skin. This increases the rate at which dead skin cells are replaced can be increased. This deep sweating helps the movement of fluid to the skin which helps deliver mineral-rich nutrients and also helps to fill spaces around the cells, increasing firmness and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It also causes increased capillary circulation, which can give the skin a softer-looking, younger appearance.
4. Increases Growth Hormone
Growth hormone is essential for repair and recovery of muscles, and studies show that two 20-minute sauna sessions elevated growth hormone levels two-fold over baseline. If you increase the temperature even more and do two 15-minute sauna sessions there is a five-fold increase in growth hormone. And two one-hour sauna sessions for 7 days has been shown to increase growth hormone 16-fold!
5. Detoxes Chemicals and Heavy Metals
This was the main reason Craig wanted the sauna. He had very high heavy metal levels and mold issues. The skin is a major detox organ, but most people do not sweat enough to get the chemicals out. Saunas help purify the body by eliminating unwanted chemicals such as heavy metals, PCB’s, toxins that are stored in fat cells, which release these unwanted chemicals when exposed to heat.

WHERE TO GET A SAUNA BLANKET
We do not have a lot of space at our Keto Condo in Maui so an infrared sauna blanket was perfect for getting all the benefits without taking up space!

Tembleque (Puerto Rican coconut pudding)
I had a beautiful message from a woman asking if I could recreate her favorite dessert called Tembleque. It was something I have never heard of but once I looked into what it was, I accepted the challenge and I think I succeeded! I hope you agree!
Kai also wanted me to create this recipe once he found out it was made from coconut! His new years resolution was to eat more coconuts!

What is fantastic about this pudding recipe is that it is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, sugar free, nut free, yet SUPER DELICIOUS! Perfect for guests who have a variety of dietary restrictions and it is such an easy dessert that can be made ahead of time.
TIPS ON MAKING TEMBLEQUEWhen I made this delicious pudding the first time, the pudding separated as it cooled. Instead of throwing it away, I put it into a sauce pot and reheated it. Placed the heated mixture into my blender and pureed it. I placed it back into the dessert molds and it chilled perfectly. It may have been a variety of things, but none of my recipe testers had this issue.
HOW TO MAKE TEMBLEQUETo make my special keto Tembleque, I used vanilla Equip Prime Protein. Do not skip this part of the recipe. The Equip helps the pudding set up perfectly! The protein powder causes it to bind and create the best texture.
Adding Equip protein also helps add a delicious flavor and boost of nutritious protein to grow beautiful hair and nails! Protein is also essential for healthy skin and muscle growth!
Equip is so generous, they are offering 15% off when you use code MARIA!

Carnivore Rice
I know some carnivore experts make fun of me and think that carnivore do not need recipes and that you just need to eat meat.
However, diets only work if you are compliant. So if the lack of variety causes you to fall of the wagon, then I can be your fairy godmother and create delicious recipes like Carnivore Rice!
Check out this testimony from my recipe tester Donna:

My Carnivore Rice recipe has been on my membership website for a long time. I always put my best recipe on Keto-Adapted.com for my clients that I help daily! Click HERE to get weekly coaching and personalized meal planning to fit your macros!

In the past, I would make rice with egg whites and a whisk, but it wasn’t quite perfect. So a few years ago, I messed around with adding gelatin to the egg whites for a better texture and BOOM! It worked perfectly!
To make my carnivore fried rice, I didn’t just use any gelatin; I used Further Food gelatin!
Gelatin helps make the carnivore rice firm into a delicious bite of goodness!
I love Further Food gelatin because of the quality! And now you can get a HUGE bag so you can make my carnivore fried rice, carnivore noodles and carnivore bread all the time!

“I have battled being overweight most of my childhood and then being morbidly obese most of my adult life. I started dieting at the age of 8. I did every diet that is out there, including all the popular ones, even Opti fast shakes through a hospital program and numerous weight loss pills. I could lose weight but quickly gained it all back. Twice I lost over 100 lbs with WW. And I was even grinding my own wheat berries, eating 8-10 fruits & vegetables a day! I cooked all my own meals and ate as healthy as I knew how. My diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid, inflammation, depression, arthritis, chronic high blood pressure and high cholesterol kept getting more out of control while the Drs gave me more medication.
Then I found the keto diet through my PA. What did I have to lose?! So I started. I was not eating enough protein at first and yes I lost weight BUT I also was losing muscle.
I found Maria Emmerich 9 months after starting and the knowledge Craig & Maria had was crucial to my understanding how the body works. I increased my protein, started working out with weight training and I never thought I would end up here. I lost 270 lbs, went from a size 6x to a size 12 and lost all the medications except I still take a low dose of thyroid med. I reversed all my health issues!
I have maintained the weight loss for almost 1 1/2 years. I continue to learn from the Emmerichs and continue to help others who struggle as well. I don’t share my story to say “ hey look at me” I share it to show others anything is possible! And to encourage, point others to the knowledge they need to help them be successful and getting healthier.“ Twila
