I am running behind on my meal prep post due to technical difficulties, but I finally worked all that out. If you like my meal prep inspiration, it is my usual practice to post one week in arrears, so this week’s post reflects the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
We do not pay attention to our Keto lifestyle the week between Christmas and New Year’s. We throw caution into the wind. Everybody must do that now and then. Let yourself have a break from dietary constraints. Do the best you can, but allow yourself a diet vacation. You can jump back on the wagon next week. We planned some of our easy favorites for the week.
