It turned vodka also into a barkeeper's best friend and the basis of every Cosmopolitan, Moscow Mule or Bloody Mary.
The Keto Cure 1 is one of Belgium's best-selling cookbooks. Pascale Naessens believes that this book owes its success to the fact that keto really does work.

In the second part of the book, you can put the theory into practice. You will find a complete 14-day meal plan plus additional recipes: a total of 75 delicious recipes prepared with natural wholefood ingredients and plenty of vegetables.
