Why I Start My Day with Lemon Cayenne Water

Why I Start My Day with Lemon Cayenne Water

For a number of reasons, I don’t drink caffeine and miss having my cup of coffee as part of my morning ritual. Decaf tea and coffee are ok but I don’t love them so I’ve started drinking warm lemon cayenne water as a replacement. With anti-fungal, immune boosting, and detoxification properties, lemon cayenne water is a powerhouse drink and a great way to start your day.

Low Carb Dinner: Cauliflower Fried Rice with Tofu

Low Carb Dinner: Cauliflower Fried Rice with Tofu

Monday’s are busy in our house. It’s a late day for the kids (school, soccer, and basketball), there’s homework to be done, and inevitably I’m running late from work or stuck in traffic. To top it off, Monday is a low carb day for all of us in the FASTer Way and if I haven’t planned something quick and easy that fits my macros, it simply won’t happen.
