SI SWIMSUIT MODEL HALEY KALIL SAYS PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED BY HER SCIENCE DEGREE: 'IT ABOUT CHANGING THE NARRATIVE'
Kristen Louelle Gaffney: It's honestly surreal. I've done this three years in a row. So I have been told no before. And it's very easy, when you hear no, when you face rejection, to say to yourself, "I'm not good enough. This isn't meant for me." But there was something in my heart that kept telling me to keep going. I remembered I turned to my husband and said, "Should I do this again?" Because I'm human. I was worried. I was scared.
But he encouraged me to follow that feeling I had. And that feeling excited me. So I said, "Let's do it. Whatever happens, happens." Regardless, I'm going to impact women and make them feel that they can keep trying, no matter what. And if I can do that, then I've already won. That's really what has been driving me this entire year.

Gaffney: It started with a one-minute video on Instagram, which is a little scary because everyone – from family to strangers – can see it. But that was the first step. I wanted to do something different this year. So I did a slow-mo video inspired by Pam Anderson . I had the "Baywatch" one-piece. But in the video, I trip and fall. And my two boys pick me back up. Not to be cheesy, but it's not when you fall, it's how you get back up. And I wanted a little comic relief and include my family.

These 9 Low-Carb Protein Bars Will Make Going Keto Easier Than Ever
Perfect Keto boasts 11 grams of protein and only 3 grams of net carbs. With various dessert flavors including birthday cake, lemon poppyseed, and salted caramel, this bar can help curb your late-night cravings. Plus, it's easy to figure out what you're eating. "It has a relatively short list of ingredients, which is important," Abeytas says.
Bede helped to develop this bar. "I feel good about the amount of sugar alcohols we didn't put in there," Bede says. Sugar alcohols can contribute to the total carbohydrates in a bar. The Zone Perfect bars range from 10 to 15 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat. It has a number of flavors including strawberry yogurt, fudge graham, and chocolate almond raisin.
This InstaKetones bar sports has just 4 net carbs and zero grams of sugar. With 15 grams of protein, the bar is a decent option for those following the keto diet.
IQ Bar's plant-based bars are packed with 12 grams of protein and only 3 grams of net carbs. It also explicitly states there are no sugar alcohols, an ingredient that can raise the net carb amount. The vegan snacks come in various flavors including lemon blueberry, matcha chai, and banana nut.

The little pep you get from a dose of caffeine can make all the difference. But what if you could also toss in a little protein for good measure?

On a keto diet, the goal is to decrease your carb intake (buh-bye Cheez-Its) and increase your fat consumption. "Reducing carbs puts you in a metabolic state called ketosis, where your body burns fat (instead of carbs and sugar) for energy," says Jes Ernst, R.D.N., a keto-focused dietitian based in Cincinnati.
Adam Peaty said he struggled to eat enough protein as a vegan, but plant-based protein combined with other foods can help, dietitian Ro Huntriss said.
