Don’t Say Keto! Don’t Say Keto! (Sorry, I Said It)

January 3, 2018

So I’ve received a lot of questions and comments about what I posted yesterday regarding my eating.

It’s New Year Resolution Post time, right? I mean, I didn’t miss it, did I? Surely there is at least a one week grace period. Since we’re all trying to be “better people” (or cool like Beyonce), I think that a little grace isn’t too much to ask for. Please. Why do we always feel […]
