"After my husband purchased the book and suggested we do it together, I decided why not. So I starting reading the book and found out this was called the "carb flu". Despite of doing the Paleo before and not having these symptoms (I chalk it up to having too much carb storage after the binge eating of the holidays), I decided to stick it out since Dr. Kellyann said this was normal and stay the course! (A little bit of Crystal hot sauce helps me a ton!). The other day I had so much energy that I cleaned my house from top to bottom from the second I woke up to the moment I went to bed! My kids told me yesterday when I walked through the door, "Whoa, Mom!! (I had a brown sun spot downright disappear from my forehead! He is hypoglycemic and would wake him up in the middle to eat and this diet has stabilized his blood sugars so he sleeps like a log. But honestly I didn't think I'd have these kind of results and I also didn't think I would able to stick to the diet 100%."
"On top of that this diet has cured my depression and anxiety, it's lowered my resting heart rate from 140 to 75, it's given me more energy than I can spend, and it's made me sleep more soundly than I've ever slept."
"Dr Kellyann used the principles in the Bone Broth Diet to help my husband and Ilose 237 pounds to date."
"Tip - I bought my first beef broth from local health store and it was weak, expensive at $2.00 per cup, and not very satisfying. So, I started making my own beef broth in my crock pot for 24 hours with tap water, onions, celery, carrots, pepper, Himalayan salt, garlic, and grass fed beef bones from a local farm - total cost $.50 per cup."
"Also bone broth *is* really excellent for you."
"This book is not only informative but I believe has the answers to my inflammation problems...I am glad I found it and since I had been following the broth lifestyle, I am not only feeling better, but my awful asthma cough has subsided considerably."
"My wife is now recovering from a bad case of "Keto Flu", she depleted her electrolytes and almost lost touch with reality."
"I am sticking with the Bone Broth..."
