The 28 Day Keto Challenge A Review
If you are interested in learning more about the 28-Day Keto Challenge, I want to offer some insight on what my experience has been with the plan. Bare in mind, everyone is different, so results will vary.
I’ve been doing the program for 3 months, and have lost 30 pounds. I am 5’6″ and weighed 185 pounds at the start. I now weigh 155 pounds. The weight steadily comes off, as if by magic, even though I know I’m putting work into it. However, after 3 months it feels effortless because it’s such a part of my daily routine. At this point, I do not follow the program strictly. I may miss a day of exercise, or have an extra serving of carbs, or some cheese. If you keep yourself in check 80% of the time, you’ll be successful at maintaining results!
The program is not rocket science. It’s what we all should be doing: eating healthy, balanced meals– Everything in moderation. However, it does take commitment and planning. Having a day by day plan truly helped me to get the results I needed. I believe this is critical the first month.
When you sign up for the 28-Day Keto Challenge, you get a full 28-Day Meal Plan, which includes 7 guides to educate and encourage you on the way!

We love comfort food as much as the next Primal type, but it’s something of a relief to welcome the lighter fare of spring. With early crops of greens, berries, radishes, herbs, asparagus, and young onions (to name just a few), there’s a definite call to cooler dishes and lighter cooking. It’s a traditional time, too, for citrusy flavors and springtime classics like lamb.
We’ve got nine of our favorites today everything from cool drinks to fresh salads to hearty but bright-tasting dinners. Grab some inspiration (and leave a comment with your spring favorites) today.

Fresh Salads
Strawberry Spinach and Basil Salad
Simple, fresh, and sweet, this salad is a perfect accompaniment to a weekend omelet breakfast or a grilled chicken dinner, but it’s also a satisfying light meal in its own right.
Thousand Island Kale and Radish Salad
Combining the classic flavor of Thousand Island with the mild bite of spring radishes makes for an easy, flavorful salad dish. Serve with roast chicken or fish, or enjoy all on its own.
Keto Chicken Citrus Salad
A family favorite dressing is Lemon Turmeric, and there’s no end to the salad combinations you can use it with. With his go-to ingredients, chicken and avocado, this one’s become a fresher take on the Big-Ass Salad tradition.

Savory Main Courses
Lemon and Sage Chicken In Cream
Rich, creamy and citrusy, this recipe blends the best of succulent meat with a smooth and flavorful sauce. The addictive lemon and sage scent alone is reason enough to cook this spring dish.
Salmon Steak Salad With Lemon Turmeric Dressing
Broiled salmon steaks are served over seared tomatoes and peppery arugula for a warm and bright main course.
Leg of Lamb with Pistachio Pesto
Rich and tender, this leg of lamb (cooked with the joules sous vide method or regular oven method) is as foolproof to make as it is delicious to eat. Serve this cut with pistachio pesto and roasted potatoes or a low-carb side of your choice.
Turmeric and Ginger Fish
This recipe is a good reason to grab that bottle of turmeric in your spice rack and put it to work adding bright orange color and extra flavor to mild fish like cod. The slightly bitter taste of turmeric all but disappears when cooked with buttery ghee, ginger and garlic. Serve with a favorite salad or another spring favorite, asparagus.
Cool Drinks
Low-Carb White Mint Julep
With a bright taste and fresh bite, mint juleps are perfect for warm spring (or summer days). Usually they’re made with bourbon and syrup, but here’s a lighter, less potent version of a julep with just as much classic flavor.
Strawberry Rose Mocktail
Yes, it’ll be strawberry season before you know it (not that most of us with a local grocery store really need to wait). For now or later this spring here’s a refreshing three-ingredient mocktail that includes a healthy dose of vitamin C and collagen.
