Keto Bite… Stress

Stress is one of the biggest ways to stay OUT of ketosis.

Emotional, physical, and chemical stress all disrupt your body’s ability to tap into fat and make ketones. If you’ve been struggling to get into ketosis, consider decreasing your stress load. Eating foods you are sensitive too can easily kick you out of ketosis. But don’t worry… there are so many meals that taste amazing that most people are not sensitive too. This photo has green beans sauted in coconut oil, spaghetti squash with pasture butter and pastured pork sausage. The fat and spices are what takes this meal from bland and boring to flavorful and rich.

Emotional
