About Me

Aloha!  My name is Tioni and I am from Hawaii!  I was born and raised on the Big Island in the little town of Hilo and currently reside on the island of Oahu.  I have been living the ketogenic lifestyle since August 2020 and have lost 40+ pounds and counting.  Not too bad considering I decided to restart keto right before the holidays!  I lived the ketogenic lifestyle once before from 2005 – 2010, so I’ve accumulated some experience through the years.  I realized in August 2020 that many keto recipes could very well be Keto Hawaiian recipes!  I’ve been having so much fun recreating local favorite recipes and turning them into keto friendly options.  During the summer of 2020, I researched sweet alternatives for my grandmother who has type 2 diabetes.  I learned that sugar is the culprit of a lot of health issues and diseases and is also one of the major contributors to cancer.  This is so important to me because my mother is an endometrial cancer survivor.  After coming to this realization, keto seemed to be the perfect fit for me.  I challenged myself to take local favorite recipes and turn them into keto friendly meals.  My husband took notice of the ono keto food I was making and decided to join the fun.  I am an island girl with basic cooking knowledge so my recipes are simple and ono!
