Healthy Foods & Healthy Reads

We made it through the holidays and entered into the new year. Like a lot of people, I allowed myself some leniency on the diet. Had a few extra cookies, indulged into that slice of pie, perhaps I had an eggnog (or two….or three). And as to be expected, a few pounds accompanied these indulgences. Lucky for me, a great deal of these extra pounds were from water weight and came back off within a few days.

Although most of the food I ate from Thanksgiving to New Years were both keto friendly and lectin free, I had become a bit acclimated to consuming “more”. I ate and drank more than I normally would, and it started to become the new normal as I caved into the cravings. Again, although I was still eating clean(ish), I was still eating when I wasn’t really hungry. Consuming desserts and adult beverages, which most certainly threw me out of ketosis.
