“Zen” isn’t dieting.
You can’t white-knuckle your way to peace. Eventually, that “low carb thing” just becomes part of your life—like your favorite coffee mug or your refusal to count lettuce as a carb. That’s what Low Carb Zen is. The journey, minus the self-image drama.
Recipes
Easy low carb and keto recipes that taste like food you want to eat—not punishment in a bowl. Quick meals, comfort food, and the occasional “holy crap, I made this?” moment.
Encouragement
Your mindset matters. Because some days, the hardest thing is just not face-planting into a pan of brownies. Get low carb inspiration, motivation, and a reminder you’re not alone.
Support
No more googling until your eyeballs bleed. Find clear, BS-free low carb info and tips to help you make smart, confident choices that actually work in real life.
Howdy!
I am the human spewing all this ‘Low Carb Zen’ talk. Have we met?
You’ve just landed on the food blog of the World’s Unlikeliest Food Blogger™. That’s me—Dix, the self-proclaimed “Zen Goddess” behind the Low Carb Zen Facebook page (over 780,000 fans and counting), author of Weight Loss Zen: An Attitude Adjustment Guide, and—sorry to say—only a fair-to-middlin’ cook.
But I am a very real person who’s been running low carb communities for going on 20 years now and managing (or ignoring) weight issues most of my life. I know the difference between a perfectly plated keto masterpiece and those “what can I do with an aging bag of coleslaw and three onions?” kinda nights. Intimately. You are in a no-judgement zone here, friend.
This site is to help make low carb living easier, tastier, and way less stressful. You’ll find recipes, product reviews, cookbooks, and honest encouragement to support your sugar-free, keto-friendly lifestyle. I’m here to cheer you on—and hopefully we’ll have a few laughs along the way. (More about me here.)
