You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing.

And you can absolutely do Keto if you are vegan now in my keto green 16 book that just released I have a 16 day vegan plan as well as the Omnivore plan. It is harder for vegans and vegetarians in general because we are using tend to use more carbohydrates so in place of beef, bison, fish and chicken we replace that with white beans, black beans and chickpeas. A little bit higher in carbohydrate but definitely supportive to your body's nutritional status and giving you adequate protein. We can also use some soy, non gmo, miso or tempeh in there as well as some soybeans. But we really focus on the other aspects of Keto Green living to make this plan work. So the intermittent fasting and extended fasting as well as no more snacking. The snacking throughout the day has to stop because it does make us more insulin resistant and this is a challenge especially when we're over 40 for our metabolism. So going Keto Green as a vegan can absolutely work with those few twists and really focusing on additional of healthy plant based fats like your nut oils, nuts and seeds, olive oil, avocados, and incorporating a healthy amount with your meal so that you're getting a healthy amount of fat so that you're not as hungry as a vegan or vegetarian. These little tweaks make a huge difference and I go over them in my book Keto Greens 16.

Hello listeners, this is Anne Bogle, author, blogger and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I take all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next read. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately. And I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course recommending books that meet the moment, whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything. You'll learn something about yourself as a reader, and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try. So join us each Tuesday for what Should I Read Next? Subscribe now wherever you're listening to this podcast and visit our website what Should I read next podcast.com to find out more.
