“What the crap is keto? I thought you were paleo ” I said to my super healthy husband. So that’s how the keto thing started. The next thing I know EVERYONE is doing it and my husband is the Keto King. \u00a0So, I naturally had to hate on it. That’s just how I am. I am a total devils advocate. Then I got mono and decided I would start doing keto to see if it would help me bounce back faster. Shocker of all shockers it DID and I lost 8 pounds (10 now). \u00a0So here I am, eating keto and living my best life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I get tons of questions! What do you eat? What the crap is a macro? Are you sure that’s not healthier than eating McDonald’s {I say that because the people who ask me “Are you sure that’s healthy?” 99% of the time are THE most unhealthy people I know- irony} I eat lots of things. I eat what my body likes naturally. For instance I eat a lot of guacamole, tomatoes, cheese, chicken, cheeseburgers ( no bun ), eggs, bacon. I haven’t really had to give up a lot because lucky for me I never had a real sweet tooth. I was more of a Cheeto and Doritos girl. Instead of eating chips I make cheese chips. Super easy to make. Here is recipe: HERE<\/a>. Make sure you get REAL cheese from the deli and check the label to make sure there is no added sugar demons.<\/p>\n

“It sounds really hard!”<\/h3>\n

It’s not. What’s hard is making yourself stop making excuses for feeding your body things that aren’t even really food. Listening to the lies BIG FOOD literally feeds you. Whole Grain = sugar. Sugar is NOT good for you. It’s a treat!!!! Not an every day treat. A random celebratory treat. \u00a0Birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and all that – sure freakin eat dessert!!! Eat pizza eat or whatever you want! Most of us only celebrate like 10 Holidays a year so 10 out of 365 is not going to ruin your health. I’m not a food nazi, I am never going to tell anyone what to put in their own mouth but I am so glad I chose to change what I put in my mouth. I feel better than I have in the past 5 years. I am no longer exhausted, sluggish, angry, anxious, or unhappy with my body. I did it for me. So all you people worried about if this is healthy for me – no worries, I feel freakin healthy AF.<\/p>\n

Can you drink coffee?<\/h3>\n

I do. I drink my coffee just like I use to. I never like the super sweet Starbucks drinks anyways so I’m not struggling too hard on that. I use heavy cream as my creamer and sugar free syrup when I need some flavor. Stevia is my sweetener of choice.<\/p>\n

I use this syrup HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

This Stevia HERE<\/a><\/p>\n
