Ketogenic Destiny
I started eating low carb/keto July 2017 when I found myself weighing over 250 pounds at age 23. I had always been overweight and had bad eating habits, but after I became a stay at home mom with two toddler girls, my health became even more neglected. I always wanted to lose weight, but was never able to commit. I had tried every diet out there, besides low carb. I figured I would give it a shot, I didn’t have anything to lose...besides a lot of weight. I began losing weight fairly quickly, and what was considered my last-ditch effort soon became my lifestyle. I am now down over 75 lbs.
Since I do consider this a lifestyle and not just a fad diet, that means I need to find foods that fit into my life, instead of planning my life around food. Even though I want to live a healthy lifestyle, I still want to eat snacks with my kids when I watch movies, enjoy after dinner treats, and be able to relax with chips and dip on a Sunday to watch a Packers game.
I first saw Quevos chips when a friend on Instagram uploaded a photo of them, saying how good they are! When I read that they are egg-white chips, I was definitely interested, as I try to incorporate eggs and egg whites into my diet often because of the health benefits.
When I got the chips in the mail, I was excited because it’s hard for me to find delicious low carb snacks, and I can only so much string cheese. The first kind I tried was the BBQ. I ate the whole bag right away, and since then the BBQ chips have been my favorite. In the same week I tried two other kinds and they were just as good as the BBQ. I love that the flavors are so bold! While I do like the texture, I actually found it to be more comparable to a cracker than a chip.
Right now, I enjoy eating them without dip, as a snack throughout the day. But my fiancé recently started eating low carb as well, and I am super excited to use the Quevos chips to make us nacho platters, or just enjoy with queso dip. I have tried other brands of low carb chips and just wasn’t a fan of how bland the flavoring was compared to Quevos. I am excited about all of the possible flavors they could release, like sriracha or salt & vinegar.

Samantha Farley, a recently diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic, is taking matters into her own hands. She quickly discovered that fellow diabetics are invaluable resources to each other, even more so than the diabetes practitioners and educators she interacted with when she was initially diagnosed. That’s why she founded Type 1 Tribe and began interviewing fellow Diabetics, including Quevos cofounder Zack Schreier.
