Book Review: Keto Reset Diet

I don't like "diets". I have tried way too many different ones in the past.

I will be honest, that I didn't fully follow the 21 day reset. It wasn't my intention to do that when I requested the book.

I was, however, interested in learning more about the Keto lifestyle and how it would be good for me, as a cancer survivor. Right now, I am trying to be as alkaline as possible, and sometimes it is harder than it should be, when you have been living in a world full of meals on the run and fast food places on every corner.

I did like the explanation about what Keto is in the beginning part of the book. It was very informative and easy to read, not giving all the science behind everything. Let's face it...some people just aren't into all that kind of things - just want to learn how this lifestyle works, why it's good, and how it will benefit my health.

I read through the 21-day reset and it seemed like it would be fairly easy to follow. My only problem is I am on a budget and can't always afford to buy a good portion of the things in the books that I read, so I tailor it to my lifestyle.

I also don't like books that give you recipes and they have terribly long ingredients list, complex directions, and foods that are not easily accessible to my part of the world.

I did like a good portion of the meals - easy to follow, easy to find products, and great tasting...despite the fact that they were healthy!!

I will be trying to incorporate more keto in my diet and help my body heal from years of neglect. I only get this one body, and I need to take care of it so I can live to be 190. :)

Book Review: NIV Color Code Bible

I don't think that a person can ever have too many Bibles - especially if they are from different translations, or if you are like me, and do a lot of Bible journaling with highlighting and marking notes. You eventually will run out of room.

A couple years ago, I came across a well-known website where they do a lot of color coding in the Bible - different topics are given different colors (God, Jesus, Family, Love, etc...)

I came across this Bible and thought, wow, this is great! I read that it was for children. However, I am in my 30's and I loved the color coding of the different Bible passages. As a visual learner, the color coding really helps to remember the different verses and the symbolism and meaning to each one.

I believe that this Bible would be great for anyone....from the person picking up a Bible for the first time, to the person that has almost every verse written on their heart. What a great way to remember the story of God's love for us!
