We started the Keto Lifestyle on May 31st and have been going strong for the last few months. Keith and I have lost around 15lbs each along with several inches all over. This has been the easiest diet that we have ever tried and we have committed to make it a lifestyle change. WE have been to Seattle and NYC and we managed to stay Keto, which wasn’t hard. I even found pizza in NYC that I still think about… Like right now, I am thinking about it…
We plan to do some before and after pictures at the end of July, right before we embark on our 12 night cruise. The plan is to stay Keto there too.
We even stayed Keto in NYC |
Living in Mexico has been a bit challenging in regards to finding a lot of the dietary items we have needed. Thankfully for trips to the States, friends visiting and a few health food stores in Playa, we have been able to find what we need.
I wanted to put together a list of items we have been using and really like. We recently added Pruvit to our diet and have fallen in love with that product so we signed up to be distributors. We wouldn’t have done that had we not loved it. It has helped us stay in Ketosis, which we LOVE!!
Here are a few items we use often:
Pruvit Ketones – We do sell them so we are a bit biased but the only reason we do is b/c we loved them when we tried them and have continued to use them everyday. This is a big part of our day and workouts.
I only own two cook books – this one and this one – both have been great to have for recipes.
Keto Bark – when I don’t feel like making fat bombs these are a great sweet treat.
Keto Mojo – we use this to test our blood for Ketosis
No Sugar Aloud Brownies – these are AMAZING!
Miracle Noodles – miss pasta? These noodles are a great substitute. We had them for dinner the other night and you couldn’t tell a big difference.
Swerve Sugar – great for baking
Nutribullet – we use this everyday for coffee, shakes, food… Must have kitchen accessory
Dash Rapid Egg Cooker – if you eat as many eggs as we do this is a godsend!
Psyllium Husk Powder – this was a hard item to find in Mexico so I had to get it in the US – great for cooking. I saw a recipe for fried chicken which I plan to try!
Ghee – great for cooking or bulletproof coffee
Tea – maybe TMI, but we love this tea when you are just feeling a wee bit full and need a nice cleanse… 😉 (The above Amazon Affiliate links are actual products we have bought and currently use.)
I am sure there are more items and when I come across them I will update this post.
We started a Keto group for our friends, please consider joining it if this is something you are interested in. We share recipes, give encouragement and just learn as much as we can.
KETO ON!!
