How are you going to fit in a meal that leaves you feeling satisfied without kicking you out of ketosis? Crazy Busy Keto makes sticking to a low-carb, ketogenic diet easier than ever by making it simple.

From grab-and-go convenience store and grocery store selections to hotel breakfasts to restaurant lunches and dinners, her quick and easy tips will streamline your keto life. There are breakfast options that are faster than a drive-thru, lunch ideas that don’t require refrigeration, and shopping tips that will save you time and money.

Each chapter features recipes that can be made without access to a full kitchen and use common ingredients—no special-ordering anything online.

The book also includes shopping lists for stocking your pantry, fridge, and freezer so that you have what you need, when you need it.
