Starting today, a grass-fed steak, a spoonful of olive oil, and a dish of bean sprout salad will set the bar for your health!

Don't be misled by the myth that " Keto = eating meat + not eating rice." True health comes from knowing how to choose ingredients, maintaining a balance, and understanding anti-inflammatory properties! 💪🥑🧠
