Carolyn Ketchum
Carolyn Ketchum is the writer, photographer, and cunning mastermind behind All Day I Dream About Food, a low-carb recipe blog, and the best-selling author of multiple low-carb cookbooks. ADIDAF is one 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 pre-diabetes decided to stick around, she refused to give up her lifelong passion for baking and cooking. 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.
