Jessica Roop, the creator of the Forget Sugar Friday blog1, has found an innovative way to bring new life to the keto diet. She recently released “My Colorful Keto Journey,” the first coloring book that focuses on the keto lifestyle.
“My Colorful Keto Journey”
This coloring book is more than simple line drawings of avocados and fish; it’s part coloring book, part food diary. The book includes pages for people to jot down their goals and successes, as well as reasons for choosing to go keto. Roop is onto something with her mash-up of coloring pages and goal trackers. Athletes have been using goal setting to enhance their sports performance for years.2 It turns out that a similar approach helps individuals develop healthy dietary patterns and stick with them.
“My Colorful Keto Journey” is a digital book, meaning buyers receive it in their email inbox and can print the pages themselves. This makes it easier for individuals to track their goals. They can also print out more pages as they progress and set new objectives. The book is 85 pages long, making it worth the $17 price tag. Plus, Roop will send buyers any additional pages she releases for the book in the future.
A journey toward better health
Coloring books for adults started appearing in retail stores around 2013.3 As more and more people learned about the calming effects of coloring, retailers began filling their shelves with coloring books of various themes. Roop’s keto-centric designs are completely new and can be a fun way for keto beginners to hit the ground running. Coloring pages include phrases such as “keto sets me free” and “gratitude” to inspire a positive outlook. There are also journal pages that focus on writing down specific intentions, reasons for going keto, and observations while adopting the diet.
People who purchase the book can use is to relieve stress, track habits and goals, and record meals and insights. They’ll find motivation, recipe cards, calming designs, and helpful tips throughout the book. It could be a unique gift for someone starting out on their keto journey, as well as a fun way for long-term keto dieters to reinvigorate their passion for the lifestyle.
