Are you Crazy for Keto?

Keto Cool or Keto Crazy?

If there is one topic, I get the most questions about its keto. What is keto? Who is it good for? Do you think it might work for me? How do I start keto?

I have finally decided to offer a solution!

Summer is COMING!! Are you READY??

Summer is on the Horizon

Okay, so it’s only March, but let’s be honest, the New Years Resolution thing has worn off, the winter weather has had us huddled indoors for warmth, and we are beginning to crave sunshine, activity and maybe even…. salad!! Spring will be here, and then comes summer with short sleeves and exposed skin. Are you ready? Do you feel confident? I only bring this up because it’s just about now that spring fever hits and it’s a FANTASTIC time to change because the world around us will start to change and blossom very soon and why shouldn’t we change and blossom as well?

Phyto whats? In Where? And Why?

Is there more than vitamins and minerals to think about?

When we think about the nutrients in food, we most often think about vitamins like vitamin C in oranges or minerals like calcium and magnesium to keep our bones healthy.

Fiber - A BIG BAD F-word!!

Fiber - A BIG bad F-word!
