Notes

This gelatin trick for weight loss is ideal for low-carb, keto, intermittent fasting, or post-bariatric meal plans. Make it in batches and rotate flavors by swapping lemon juice with lime, herbal tea, or adding a pinch of pink salt or berry extract. Avoid using fresh pineapple or kiwi, they prevent gelatin from setting.
