What is Thermogenesis?


Thermogenesis is your body's natural process of generating heat and burning calories. It’s triggered by physical activity, cold exposure, and specific foods—especially protein, chili peppers, and MCTs (Medium-Chain Triglycerides). This salad is designed to activate thermogenesis through its metabolism-stimulating ingredients, helping support fat loss and sustained energy.



What is Jerk Spice?


Jerk spice is a traditional Jamaican seasoning blend known for its fiery, aromatic depth. It typically includes:


  • Allspice

  • Scotch bonnet or chili peppers

  • Thyme

  • Garlic

  • Onion

  • Cinnamon

  • Nutmeg


The combination is both smoky and spicy, with a hint of sweetness and warmth from the spices. In this dish, the jerk marinade infuses the chicken with vibrant Caribbean flavor while naturally stimulating the metabolism thanks to capsaicin-rich chilies and warming herbs.


The result? A deeply flavorful, thermogenic protein that anchors the salad beautifully.



This nutrient-dense, energizing creation will be featured in our gourmet Keto Meals Menu from time to time. Stay tuned—it's the perfect blend of healing and heat.
