I’m new to keto & really appreciate your site! As I am a pescatarian, would it be ok to sub shrimp or tuna for the chicken/bacon? Thanks!
Hi Joni, thank you for the kind words! Yes, you can definitely substitute the seafood for other proteins. You can also just skip the recipes that contain those ingredients and re-use others if you prefer 🙂
