Karen and Mark talk about what it means to be Keto in a step family. Negotiating two households and two ways of eating can be challenging, and trying to stay Keto in the face of that challenge is super tricky. Let’s talk about it.

This week on Keto Families, Mark and Karen talk about best practices for Keto. There are lots of wonderful ways to be Keto, but there are some good habits that just make everything easier.

Karen and Mark talk to their daughter Cheyenne (17) about her experience eating Keto and keeping Keto when her mom does not (Karen is Cheyenne's stepmom). Navigating your environment can be hard, but taking control of your life is powerful. Listen as Chey talks about teen attitudes toward dieting and beauty. Don't miss this one!

Karen and Mark interview their kids, Campbell (8) and Gia (9) about what it has been like growing up in a Keto house for the past three years. They talk about what they eat at home, outside of home, and how Keto changed their parents.

It happens. Sometimes it happens because you want it to, sometimes it happens because of what is available to you, sometimes it happens mindlessly - but you know what is worse than "cheating"? carrying shame about it and letting it define you. Come on folks, there is no cheating, only choices. So, let's talk about how to cheat mindfully and how to move forward positively.

Karen and Mark talk about eating Keto in a world where not everyone accepts it as a valid choice. 

Making the mindful choice of changing your way of eating can bring some criticism and that can wear on wear on you. We are discussing how we manage judgement and keep our sanity, and how we arm our kids to do the same.
