If you’re anything like me, each day is a struggle when it comes to choosing to put the best options for food and drink in your body. I’ve come up with a couple ways to make myself feel better about the realization that I will always have to be on a carb and sugar restricted diet . I also realize that I will never be skinny but I can be the healthiest version of myself by eating this way. One of the ways I am able to not feel bitter about being restricted is by telling myself that what I do (taking supplements and buying and preparing special foods etc) is something that I do FOR myself as opposed to TO myself. It is something I do as self care in order to honor my body and maintain my health. And the other thing that helps (as I’ve mentioned before) is finding or making things that satisfy my sweet tooth or craving for comfort food. So I keep a candy jar of all delicious sugar free candy on my desk. And now I have a whole store of sugar free candy! I’m hoping the keto candy jar will help other people in the way that it has helped me. And on that note I will share with you one of my healthy comfort food recipes. 
This is palmini fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. The palmini “pasta” can usually be found by the pasta in most grocery stores or you can order it online. You can make your own Alfredo sauce or purchase it prepared already and add your steamed broccoli and sautéed chicken. It’s really easy and fast to prepare . Just make sure you rinse your palmini thoroughly and I like to slice up my “fettuccine” out of sheets of the lasagna palmini but I’ve heard they have an actual fettuccine palmini you can buy ( I just never come across it in stores) . If you don’t like the taste of palmini (I think it’s kind of like a mild olive taste and texture wise) , you can use a lower glycemic but not as low carb option like dreamfields fettucini. The drink in the picture is diet sprite with pink lemonade crystal lite. Very refreshing ! Here’s hoping you’re all living your best life. Lots of love to you!
