Low-Carb Pasta Swaps That Won't Weigh You Down
Hey there, Keto Warriors!
Let's talk about everyone's favorite carb culprit: pasta. We all love it, but we also know it's not the best choice for our low-carb lifestyle. But fear not, because we've got some game-changing alternatives for you!
First up, spaghetti squash. It's a low-carb superstar that can satisfy your pasta cravings without the guilt. Plus, it's super easy to prepare, especially if you've got an Instant Pot.
Next, zucchini spirals – or "zoodles" as we like to call them. These bad boys pack a punch of nutrition without all the carbs or calories of traditional pasta. Keep a stash in your freezer for convenience.
And have you heard of Palmini? It's basically hearts of palm shaped into lasagna noodles, angel hair, linguine, and even a rice version. Yum!
But if you're feeling really adventurous, try our "fake lasagna" trick. It's a game-changer that'll make you forget all about traditional pasta. Trust us, it's THAT good.
Remember, it's all about making better choices every day. So, grab those zoodles, whip up some spaghetti squash, or try out that Palmini. Your taste buds and your health will thank you!

This summer, it's time to get creative with your exercise. Your kiddos are home from school, your schedule may be a bit more flexible, and the weather is incredible!
Maybe try a few at-home workouts you find for FREE on YouTube. Or, even hop in the neighborhood pool for a couple of laps, and then grab your kiddos and go for a bike ride. Whatever your choice of movement, make sure your number one goal is to have FUN!
Often, we take exercise way too seriously. We sign up for a HUGE undertaking with a personal trainer, commit our wallets and time to a gym that is not even en route to our workplaces, and believe in our hearts that anything less than an hour-long workout is pointless.
This is just NOT TRUE! As long as your body is moving, your heart and brain and soul will most definitely thank you!
So grab your headphones and enjoy this podcast from the KETO-SIStas while you clean those dreaded bathrooms and change ALL the sheets in the house. (Yes, cleaning is an excellent form of exercise and TOTALLY counts.) This story will encourage you for sure!
And if you choose to exercise outside, enjoy an added bonus of Vitamin D!
