I'm ready!I’m on the final leg of my 10-day solo British Columbia road trip. On Sunday night, my (new) Toyota broke down. Totally dead. I could have spent the next 5 hours obsessing about all of the plans that were ruined because of my stupid car… but I didn’t. Instead, I accepted where I was at, gathered details, weighed options and moved forward with the best intentions.
I was forced to remain aware of my surroundings, let go of expectations and act in the present moment. Much like what I (try) to practice with my eating style. Plans change, circumstances change, bodies change. Change brings opportunity (for better, more-awesome things!)
Taking care of my body is an ongoing evolution of learning, experimenting and figuring out what works best for me. What my body needed 2 years ago is different than what it needs today.
Each eating style has assisted me in transitioning to the next with ease. If you’re somewhere in between going dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free or vegan and you’re thinking, “what the hell do I eat?” my weekly meal planning program is a fabulous resource.
2 weeks ago, I shared why counting calories for weight loss isn’t the answer + what I’m doing instead. Now, I’m 4 weeks in and I’d love to share MORE of my experience with you because (to my surprise) many of you are interested in the ketogenic lifestyle.
Psst… this isn’t just about weight loss. My shift to a ketogenic eating style is a natural progression and feels good in my body.
21 lessons I’ve learned while being in ketosis::
I have created a ketogenic introduction program called The Keto Beginning. Complete with a 30-day meal plan, details of how I got into ketosis for the first time, how I maintain it, the cyclical practice, and tricks/tools I’ve used to maintain ketosis.
Grab your copy of The Keto Beginning: Complete Guide + 30-day Meal Plan with its 17 chapters, 147 pages + over 70 high-fat, low-carb, moderate-protein, dairy-, gluten-, sugar-, grain-, legume-free recipes. It’s the rocket fuel for achieving flawless health and effortless weight loss through sound nutrition practices and vibrant food preparation in ways you’ve never seen before.
Now, I would love to hear from you (because we’re all here learning + experimenting!)…
What 2 lessons have you learned in the last 2 weeks about your body?
