Lindsay Boyers - The Everything Keto Diet Meal Prep Cookbook: Includes: Sage Breakfast Sausage, Chicken Tandoori, Philly Cheesesteak–Stuffed Peppers, Lemon Butter Salmon, Cannoli Cheesecake...and Hundreds More!

Dear Reader, One of the most common objections I hear to starting a keto diet is its too much work, and while I can definitely empathize with thatit does take more forethought, preparation, and calculations than other nutrition planstheres a viable solution. Meal prep. Now I know what youre thinking: Do I really need to spend the time meal prepping? Take it from someone whos been there before: the answer is yes. Especially when youre following a keto diet. The whole point of keto is to kick your body into ketosis and, unfortunately, sometimes all it takes to knock you out of that fat-burning state is one high-carbohydrate meal. If youre out and about with nothing to eat and you start to get hangry, youre significantly more likely to reach for whatever you can grab.

Hey, hunger can make you do crazy things! On the flip side, when you meal prep, you take away the unknowns, so to speak. You may spend a little more time getting organized, but youll always know that you have a perfectly balanced keto meal or snack ready to go. You wont have to wonder where your next meal is coming from and/or if youll be able to find something on the go. You wont have to skip a meal and spend the day hungry because you cant find anything that fits into your plan. And that peace of mind is worth the extra effort. Ease in, adjust, and learn as you go, and most importantly, have fun with it.

Wishing you a lifetime of laughter, health, and happiness. Lindsay Boyers, CHNC
