Carolyn Ketchum

Carolyn Ketchum is the writer, photographer and evil mastermind behind All Day I Dream About Food, a low carb and ketogenic food blog. ADIDAF is of the most popular low carb sites on the web and has a devoted following among dieters, diabetics, and those simply trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Carolyn's mission is to prove to the world that special diets need not be boring or restrictive. It’s astonishing what you can do with a bag of almond flour, a stick of butter, and a willingness to experiment. The way Carolyn sees it, she didn’t choose the low-carb lifestyle; it chose her. After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her third pregnancy, she began watching her carb intake. And when the diabetes decided to stick around, she refused to give up her lifelong passion for baking and cooking; she just had to find new ways to do it. To her delight, she discovered that with a little ingenuity and some perseverance, many high-carb recipes can be made over into low-carb treats without sacrificing flavor. Carolyn has a Master’s degree in Anthropology and Early Human Evolution, and an extensive background in higher education administration. She now lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and three children.
