Get Ready to Reset and Go Keto! Incredible Pre-Order Bonus Offer

Image
As you probably already know, the ketogenic diet has become an extremely popular health trend as well as a personal passion of mine. Google data indicates that “keto” has now surpassed “paleo” as the most popular diet-related search term. Both mounting science and user experiences are validating keto as highly effective for reducing excess body fat quickly, improving cognitive function, minimizing disease risk factors, improving athletic performance, and promoting longevity. I sincerely believe that a ketogenic eating plan could represent the greatest breakthrough in the history of nutritional science—and the history of dieting (finally!)—to promote successful long-term fat loss and weight management.

(Although he made the cut-off so we could have sent him.) When I polled a hundred people last year, the unanimous answer was to give boys with late birthdays an extra year. So instead of doing a repeat pre-K year at his former school, we thought it would best to move to another school so he would have a change of pace. A stepping stone to the big halls of kindergarten next year. Pro: Mazen is still asleep when the neighbors get on the school bus, so we are both happy that his new school doesn’t start until 9. Con: $$$. I was looking forward to not having a school line item in my budget, but that will have to be postponed! We are excited for him to learn Spanish and even more math! And if you needed a little refresher on first days past, here you go ; ) He has really grown into that backpack! (And I got it really clean by hand washing it
