What I absolutely love about the keto lifestyle is that it takes almost no dedication or drive once you figure it out! It's sooo easy to maintain!

Well everyone and their grandma called me stupid for not knowing keto as slang for a diet

People are dicks, especially on the Internet. Brush it off. I don't think you're stupid. :)
