Are Boiled Crawfish Keto-Friendly?
Heck yes, they’re keto-friendly! 👍
Lucky for us in South Louisiana, fresh local fish and shellfish are typically very keto-friendly! Let’s start with the overview: Crawfish have 0 grams of carbohydrates or sugars, 15 grams of protein and very little fat. 🌟 But that’s not all..
Crawfish are also rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and especially phosphorus and potassium, which are all essential for balanced and optimal metabolic function. Plus, if the crawfish are boiled, you won’t need any extra sodium that day. Do you stick to a full or partial ketogenic lifestyle? Regularly replenishing sodium and potassium is especially important for keto and fasting folks to stay balanced and avoid headaches and the “keto-flu.”
But let’s be honest. It’s not just about the crawfish. If you’ve been to a typical boil, you know what it’s like to search for those pieces of corn, potatoes and onions. These starchy veggies are less keto friendly; so, if you’re sticking to a tight keto lifestyle and you’re the one boiling, try supplementing fresh okra, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, garlic and mushrooms! Another great substitute? Try trading traditional sausages for local, grass fed and finished alternatives.
At The Remedy Room, we know that one size does NOT fit all! We are always looking to help people reduce inflammation and toxins in their diet and increase nutritious whole foods that promote fat burning and sustained energy. As such, we often teach patients how to use tools such as a keto- style diet and intermittent fasting. No matter what eating style is right for you, there are so many switches we can all make starting RIGHT NOW that will benefit us no matter what! We want to remind you that even if you’re on a diet or following a specific eating plan, you can still enjoy things like crawfish boils! We’re always looking to make valuable tweaks and swaps to our food and our lives to reduce inflammation and promote optimal function.
Some of our other favorite swaps? How about a bowl of fresh berries with some heavy whipping cream for dessert?! Or snacking on hard boiled eggs, almonds and pecans instead of processed snack foods? Craving pizza, pasta or rice? If you haven’t tried cooking with cauliflower, what are you waiting for?

No More Energy Dips, Binge Eating, or Joint Pain
My first month in Alexia’s program has completely turned around my health situation! I lost over 5 pounds in my first week, and the scales continue to show a lower number every week. My clothes fit so loosely now!
My body feels totally different today compared with just a month ago. I now have energy – no more blood sugar crashes after lunch! I no longer suffer from sugar cravings. I’m surprised that I can now enjoy delicious desserts and still lose weight. I feel good about myself, and I have no need to binge eat. My joints don’t ache anymore, which feels like a miracle. I no longer have arthritis knee pain.

I lost over 6 pounds in my first week in Alexia's program!
I kept dropping the weight every week, as my clothes started getting baggier, and my family and colleagues began complimenting me on my new look. After years of nothing but weight gain, it felt amazing to be in control of my body again!
Alexia taught me effective hacks to sleep well, and I now wake up feeling energized. My new energy has allowed me to live a whole different life. I used to be wiped out when coming home from work, but now I can enjoy quality time with my husband. On the weekends, I hike in nature, and I'm going to pick up my high school passion for swimming again. I love my new, healthy lifestyle!
Brittany
Lost 10 Pounds in the First Week
I dropped 10 pounds in my first week of Alexia’s program. I’ve shrunk so much that I now have a wardrobe full of clothes that I can’t wear anymore! It’s happened before during my years of yo-yo dieting, but back then, I always kept some large outfits in case I gained back the weight. And I always did… Because I neither had the method nor the confidence to maintain the results.
This time on keto, it’s different! I’m finally ready to clear out all unsuitable outfits for good since they belong to my past. In my present and future, I only have room for healthy eating and small clothes sizes!

Accountability Kept Me Going
I have lost weight, but more importantly, my brain is lighter. I’ve decluttered and gotten rid of the burden of losing weight. I now focus on the sensible approach to eat healthily. Could I have done it without Alexia’s coaching? NO! Her coaching brought the information to me in a palatable way. It allowed me to try the methods and implement them in my life.
My attitude changed, my habits changed, and the weight fell off as a result. And all the while Alexia made me feel that I did it all by myself. And I did, because Alexia made me accountable for taking the necessary action. Alexia made me see that I didn’t have to lose weight – I had to lose the mental burden of losing weight.

Feeling Attractive Again
Alexia’s program changed my life! Following her simple guidance made me start dropping weight so quickly that it felt like a miracle. It’s nice to feel attractive again. It’s a lot of fun shopping for smaller outfit sizes and dressing up. It has put a new spark in my marriage. But far more important is the confidence and self-love that my new, healthy lifestyle has given me!
Before, I used to hide away. Now, I’m stepping into life again. I join social events, and I’m taking up the old hobbies that I love but gave up due to low self-esteem. I don’t want to waste another second feeling down about my weight. I’m going to enjoy my slim, strong, and healthy body and live life to the fullest!

9 Pounds Down in My First Week!
Before working with Alexia, I had spent many years desperately trying to lose weight. I could hardly lose one pound on my own. Now with the right guidance, I started dropping over 9 pounds in my first week! I can now fit into the slim clothes that I wore years ago.
Losing weight in Alexia’s program has changed me into a new person with a new attitude to life. Now I’m positive, energetic, and confident! I’m excited to do activities with my family and take my career to the next level. My wife has begged me to take dancing classes with her for years. Finally, I have agreed, and we’re both so happy. Nothing has had a more positive impact on my marriage as me getting fit. I’m glad to now be a healthy role model for my son and have the fitness to be there for him and my wife. The best part of my life is starting now!

Flattest Tummy Ever
Alexia helped me get my weight below 130 pounds, a number I haven't seen on the scales in eight years!
When you understand how keto works, you realize that you can adapt any recipe to keto just by swapping ingredients. I eat chocolate truffles, cookies, keto bread, pizza… I just love it! What I love the most is how getting rid of the extra fat has toned my body. I’ve achieved the flattest tummy of my life on keto – without doing any workouts for it!
Stephanie
Freed From Anxiety and Depression
Before joining Alexia’s program, I had tried every possible weight loss method during twenty-five years of struggling with excess weight. WeightWatchers, protein shakes, Slimming World, you name it… But still, no weight loss.
Alexia helped me figure out the reason for my health problems: chronic inflammation. She guided me on how to test my body and what steps to take to reverse the inflammation. Finally, the number on the scales started to move as the fat that I’d been carrying around for years just melted away. I was over the moon!
Within weeks of getting rid of my inflammation in Alexia’s program, my anxiety and depression disappeared. No medication, no strange methods… Just taking care of my biology.

A More Intimate Marriage
Alexia taught me how to eat to burn fat for energy, and the results were immediate. I lost 10 pounds in my first week!
Like my excess weight used to affect every area of my life negatively, slimming down has had a positive effect on everything. I now have the energy to be active with my kids and do lots of fun activities with them. Feeling comfortable in my skin, I enjoy a more intimate relationship with my husband.
I have the confidence to pick up my career and make money again. I wake up feeling happy and excited about my day. Because if all of these incredible changes were possible in only eight weeks in Alexia's program, I can't wait to see what's next for me!

Losing Weight While Socializing
By following Alexia’s advice while my doctor monitored my health markers, I drastically reduced my insulin medication in only weeks! I’d always thought that my diabetes medication was a lifelong doom, and now it felt like I was taking nature’s medicine.
Before starting keto, I was concerned about how it would affect my socializing. I’m a social person, and a diet wouldn’t work if I’d had to sit at home counting calories. But what’s fantastic about keto is that it doesn’t feel like a “diet” because it’s not restricting. I just need to know how to prepare myself or what to choose on the menu when I go out, and that’s precisely what I’ve learned from Alexia. If anything, keto has improved my socializing since the fit version of myself is a lot more energetic, happy, and confident. I can go to the beach again – I’m finally free and making the most out of my life!
Mohammed
Lost Weight Every Week
In other weight loss programs, I used to dread the weekly weigh-in. Not with Alexia – I looked forward to getting on the scales because the result was always exciting! Losing weight quickly and steadily every week was an amazing motivation boost.
After many years of feeling trapped in my body with little to no control, it was liberating and empowering to learn how to take charge of my weight. With each pound that I dropped, I started to feel more like myself again!
Soraya
Having Fun Socializing While Losing Weight
I enjoy an active and social life and doing keto hasn't stopped me from having a good time. I'm going to events and parties as usual, and I've even celebrated Diwali on keto. All while dropping weight and feeling better about myself. That's what I love about keto: it's not a diet that's limiting my life, but it's a lifestyle that's enriching my life!
I now love trying new things, like sports, and I'm about to start a second business. These are dreams that I could hardly imagine when I identified as the “fat kid.” But achieving the 'impossible' of losing weight in Alexia's program has made me feel that nothing is impossible anymore - and I can't wait to make it all happen!

A Life Upgrade
On my own, my results had been slow and frustrating. No wonder I gave up! In Alexia’s program, I quickly shed my extra pounds and kept them off. I appreciate that Alexia explained WHY my way of doing keto hadn’t had much of an effect, and exactly what to do instead.
My favorite thing about Alexia is that she offers so much more as a coach than just guidance on how to slim down on keto. Reaching target weight is important to be healthy and feel good, but so are other factors, such as sleep, exercise, and positive thinking. Alexia helped me do a complete makeover in these areas, and I can only say WOW – what a life upgrade!

Alexia Taught Me How To Achieve My Dream Body
I worked with Alexia to reach my target weight, but I’m amazed by all of the other health benefits in her program. My schedule with my newborn is exhausting, so I love the incredible energy boost and mental sharpness on keto. I can now be present and active with my daughter in a way that I couldn’t in my old way of eating!
It’s a year ago that Alexia taught me how to achieve my dream body on keto, and I’m still benefiting every day. Enough time has passed for me to know that keto IS a healthy “lifestyle.” It’s not a restriction, but a choice because its effects are so amazing! My pregnancy pounds are long gone, and I don’t have to make an effort to keep them off. I just continue enjoying the tasty food.
