Egg Fast Day 3

NOTE FOR THE DAY: 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, K 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.I love grass fed butter because it tastes amazing and makes us feel warm and “comforty.”

Additionally, great sources of fat can be found in aged cheeses such as blue cheese, Roquefort, brie and camembert, among others. Naturally aged cheeses are also higher in Vitamin K2, an important analog of Vitamin K that helps direct how Vitamin D and Calcium are used in the body. Here’s a nice read on cheese from Dr. Mercola.
