This has been a long week, but now…
All this week I have been trying to follow a keto diet plan. It isn’t as easy as you think. There is more to keto than low carb. Also, it does matter how much protein (chicken, tuna, etc.) you consume. To guide me on this fat fueled journey, I’ve found a couple of websites that have been helpful.
