I just bought the 4 week keto plan and noticed that the grocery list is incomplete, I had to go to every recipe and check what was missing on each one, like tomatoes, cream, avocados, jalapeños, rice cauliflower. Very disappointed. Also, I do not own an air fryer.

Wait that’s not possible. We’ve double and triple checked that list. Can you email me at twosleevers @ Gmail.com (no spaces) and tell me what was missing? I’d love to help you out.

We spent 2 hours on a Saturday night going through the shopping list and did not find a SINGLE error. The ingredients listed as OPTIONAL are not included in the grocery list. Everything else is in the list.
