Catch up on your kitchen.

Make over your meals.
As the weather starts to warm up, it’s the perfect time to start grilling your meals. Choose lean proteins like steaks, poultry, and fish, and pair them with a variety of colorful vegetables. You can also swap out heavy comfort foods for lighter salads and soups that are perfect for spring.
Put a spring in your snacks.
With the warmer weather, you’ll likely be out and about more often, so it’s important to have healthy snacks on hand. Prepping your veggies and fruits in portable containers makes it easy to grab a quick bite on the go. Try dipping veggies in ranch dressing or hummus, or layering bell peppers with slices of cheese and a few olives. And for something a little heartier, try this veggie-forward egg salad.
Embrace the power of plants.
Spring vegetables are in season, including artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, spinach, and more. Take advantage of all these fresh options by incorporating them into your meals whenever possible. You can also consider planting your own low carb and keto-friendly garden for an even more sustainable approach to eating.
Get moving outside (or anywhere!).
Now that the weather is warmer, it’s a great time to start getting outside and enjoying some physical activity. Even simple things like taking a walk with your dog or parking farther away from your destination can help you stay active. And if you’re looking for a more structured workout routine, try this one from Atkins.
