Egg Fast Day 2

NOTE ABOUT HEALTHY FATS | BUTTER: Anytime we talk about butter, just know we mean grass fed butter (Kerrygold or homemade) made from the milk from pastured, grass fed cows. Why? Because according to many, grass fed butter provides superior, healthy fats rich in CLA (conjugated linoleic acid-vital for good weight loss and metabolism), fat soluble Vitamins A, D, K2 and E, and free from added hormones, antibiotics, and chemicals. New studies show saturated fats are actually good for your body, and in a low carb keto diet, help shift cholesterol ratios toward the large, fluffy, beneficial type of cholesterol. Fluffy Chix love grass fed butter because it tastes amazing and makes us feel warm and “comforty.”
