Another Bun In The Oven

A lot of you may know at this point that… I had my first child on December 29, 2018. she does keto

What none of you know at this point however is… I have actually been cooking up another baby that’s due June 18, 2019.

You might be wondering how on earth I could get “pregnant” with baby number two while ALREADY pregnant with baby number one.

Welp, I can assure you, IT CAN HAPPEN as it happened to me and I am finally ready to announce that baby number two is on the way.

She… Yes, SHE, as I did find out the sex of my soon-to-be… Was conceived October 15, 2018. Yup, I know the exact date because… #FertilityTracker.

Oh, and according to my “doctor”, she is growing right on schedule and is INSANELY healthy!

I even picked out a name for her already too! Want to know what it is?!

tell me tom

I mean, if I am breaking this news, I might as well reveal EVERYTHING, right?!

SHE DOES KETO.

Interesting name, you may be pondering…

thinking

Well… It’s French (because you know, I’m French so why not tap into my heritage) for…

I WROTE A BOOK!

ENOUGH ALREADY with my baby metaphor…

I WROTE A BOOK, PEOPLE! I WROTE A BOOK!

Yep, this “baby” I am talking about is MY NEW (and FIRST EVER) BOOK, titled: SHE DOES KETO.

You see… Back in October, a publishing company reached out to me about writing a book centralized around the ketogenic diet and why it’s specifically beneficial for women (hence why my “baby” is a girl).

This book would also include a three-week meal plan, grocery shopping lists and 116 keto diet approved recipes! While I knew writing deadlines would pop up right around when I would be going into labor with baby number one, I STILL POUNCED on this opportunity because…

  • I’ve been living a very ketogenic/paleo lifestyle for the last 17 years of my life.
  • I have always wanted to write a book but never really knew where to start.
  • I have loads of ketogenic recipe ideas swirling around my brain at all times (and have published a bunch on this blog too).
  • Sharing my knowledge of/the science behind the ketogenic diet and how delicious it is to all of you, has been my main goal of mine for a very long time.
  • I have my masters certificate in nutrition communications, so why not use my degree? 
  • The publishing company I’m working with really understands my brand and who I am, thus we mesh insanely well together.
  • What feels like MILLIONS of people have told me to write a book.
  • I wanted to challenge myself with the task of writing a book… And why not add WHILE BEING PREGNANT to that challenge…?!

Well, as Barney Stinson (you know, from How I Met Your Mother) would say

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

And now…

CHALLENGE COMPLETED!

At least the writing portion. Now the NEW challenge becomes… Er, um, actually getting the book into the hands of those who want one!?

So while the book won’t be “born” until June 18th, presales have already started on Amazon, so go on, SNAG YOURSELF A COPY!

TO further entice you to get your hands on a copy (it will also be available at major bookstores, like Barnes & Noble)… Over the new few weeks, I will be giving all of you sneak peeks (here on my blog, on my YouTube channel, on Facebook and on Instagram) of what’s inside my baby… So keep your eyes peeled (the first sneak peek is below) and… GRAB A FORK!

SO TELL ME…

  • Have you ever written a book? If so, what’s it about and where can it be found?
  • If you were to write a book, what would it be about and what would you title it?
  • Are you interested in the ketogenic diet at all?
  • Tell me your top two biggest accomplishments in your life, to date!
  • What was the last book you read?
  • Do you think you will order a copy of She Does Keto?
