This Southwestern Deconstructed Chicken Keto Soup Bowl is so good and bursting with flavor!
It seems like so many people I know are trying out the keto diet to help with weight loss these days.
I checked it out a little and it is similar to the sugar free fast I did a while back, although it focuses more on a high fat diet and not just eliminating sugar.
Although I am no longer strictly following that sugar free diet, I have kept many of the healthy eating habits I picked up through that process.
I continue to look for low carb meals with healthy ingredients, including full fats, to add to my meal prepping.
