The Ketogenic Workbook & Companion Planner: A Labor of Love to Guide Your Health Journey

When I first sat down to put my ideas into a design, I never imagined they would turn into a two-part companion book set. But early in 2024, I realized something was missing—there simply weren’t many journals and workbooks specifically designed for low-carb lifestyles. And the ones that did exist lacked the comprehensive symptom tracking that I was craving in my own health journey.

So, I decided to fill the gap, and I built one from medical questionnaires for common autoimmune disorders.

What started as a simple idea became a labor of love, and I poured my heart, experience, and precious time into creating two books that I wish I had when I first started keto. These resources aren’t just about tracking food—they’re designed to help you understand your body, manage symptoms, and stay accountable in a way that feels empowering.

What’s Inside These Books?

📖 The Ketogenic Workbook: Planning for Success

This workbook is your go-to guide for building structure, tracking progress, and staying consistent with your ketogenic or carnivore diet. Whether you’re a beginner or fine-tuning your approach, this book is designed to help you set goals, track symptoms, and truly understand how your diet impacts your health.

Inside, you’ll find:
✅ Daily & Weekly Planning Pages – Organize meals, track macros, fasting, and workouts.
✅ Goal-Setting Framework – Break down your goals into achievable steps.
✅ Comprehensive Symptom Tracker – Monitor how foods affect you and track improvements in your gut health and overall well-being.
✅ Educational Insights – Learn about ketosis, chronic inflammation, ingredients to avoid, and more.
✅ Mindset & Troubleshooting Tips – Develop healthy habits for a healthier life.

📍Excerpt from the Workbook:
“True success on keto isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency. Building healthy habits, understanding how your body responds, and staying focused will lead to long-term success.”

📔 The Ketogenic Companion: 3-Month Planner

This keto food journal was designed to keep you accountable in your daily routine. Whether you’re following a keto carnivore plan, tackling a sugar detox, or just tracking your food for better awareness, this planner helps you stay on track and reflect on your progress.

Inside, you’ll find:
✅ Daily Tracking Pages – Log meals, hydration, exercise, sleep, and progress.
✅ Weekly Check-Ins – Assess what’s working, adjust your approach, and stay motivated.
✅ Personalized Carnivore & Keto Adaptations – Space to customize your carnivore diet food list and fine-tune your routine.
✅ Symptom & Habit Tracking – Monitor how changes in diet affect your body and mindset.
✅ Motivational Prompts & Affirmations – Stay inspired with encouragement and reflection exercises.

📍Excerpt from the Planner:
“Every day is a chance to take one step closer to your goals. Progress is made in the small, daily choices—not in waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment.”

Why I Created These Books

These books were born out of necessity. I knew firsthand how frustrating it was to not have a structured way to track symptoms, plan meals, and reflect on progress—especially when following a ketogenic or carnivore diet for beginners. I wanted something more than just a food journal.

I wanted a tool that helped people truly understand their bodies—a place where they could track patterns, recognize progress, and learn how to heal from chronic inflammation.

So, I created them for you.

If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, if you want to build healthy habits instead of just “dieting,” if you’re looking for a immune health book that actually helps you reduce inflammation and improve your overall well-being—then these books were made for you.

Who Are These Books For?

✔️ Beginners who need structure and guidance in their ketogenic or carnivore diet journey.
✔️ Anyone struggling with chronic inflammation, gut health issues, or sugar addiction.
✔️ People who want to track progress beyond weight loss—symptoms, energy levels, mindset, and habits.
✔️ Those who believe in habits, not diets, and want to build a lifestyle that lasts.

I hope these books help you as much as creating them has helped me. They are more than just planners—they are tools for transformation.

Mindset Matters

Mindset starts with what you put in your brain.
 
 
Have you ever had a day where you just couldn’t get a grip on your thoughts? Your thoughts are just spinning and spinning, spiraling downward fast, and it leaves you feeling down, defeated, anxious. And you…you feel powerless to defeat it.
 
This is my mind, every single day. My thoughts are frequently an anxious jumble of what-ifs and worst-case scenarios. It makes it difficult to focus, causes sleep difficulties, and makes life super stressful.
 
Over the last couple of years, I have learned ways to take back my mind and fight the crazy, spiraling, negative thoughts that creep in daily. And don’t get me wrong, it is a DAILY battle, but I have some peace knowing that I can defeat the negative spiral. How did I learn how to do this? Well, keep reading, because I am going to give you a tool.
 
A few years ago, I found a book by Jennie Allen “Get Out Of Your Head”. This book, which I highly recommend you read, study, and implement in your life, helped me take back my mind.
 
The book teaches techniques in the book teach you to stop negative thoughts in their tracks and focus on the truth. One of these techniques include telling yourself that you have the ability to choose your thoughts. For example, you have the spiraling negative thought “I’m not good enough”, then you combat it with “I choose to believe that I am a child of God and with God I am enough.”
 
Now, I am a Christian, and I choose to believe what the Bible says, which has the most amazing advice/wisdom on taking your thoughts captive. Just listen to what the Apostle Paul says in his letter to the Philippians.  
 
Philippians 4:6-9
 
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
 
True, Noble, Right, Pure, Lovely, Admirable, Excellent, Praiseworthy. If you fill your mind with these things, you can crowd out the negative.
 
If you are like me and have these spiraling negative, toxic thoughts, I suggest you check out Jennie Allen’s book. Here is an Amazon links to check it out.
