What happens when you jump off the keto wagon...
Believe it or not, I stayed 100% on keto for more than 9 months. That doesn't mean I never indulged, but the foods I indulged in didn't kick me out of ketosis. I brought a sugar free cheesecake to Thanksgiving, had a lot of Lily's chocolate and vodka with diet coke but that was it. Then, on December 8, I had a party I'dā¦

SPLENDA.....worse than sugar!!!!
Did you know Splenda spikes your blood sugar more than actual sugar? Itās true Splenda is actually worse than pure sugar! Itās the maltodextrine in it. Maltodextrine can rise it over 100 while sugar rises it in the 70s. If you are using Splenda stop and throw it out.

How to deal with feeling unwell and wanting carbs
