However, for some people, one treat leads to another, and before they know it, they’re not following keto anymore. Using my bone broth protein drink (along with OMAD) is a great way to help jumpstart your reboot!

I’m going to tell you a not-so-carefully guarded secret.

Do Sugar Substitutes Bounce You out of Ketosis?
I love stevia. Before stevia and Keto, I was a "double-double" gal (for all my non- Canadian friends, that means I took my coffee with double cream and double sugar). The sweeter the better!
