You've probably heard a
lot lately about the ketogenic diet and the effects it can have on weight loss and health.
And while cutting your carbs and transitioning to a keto diet certainly isn't the only way to a trim your physique and improve your health, the science (and millions of anecdotal reports) show that it can play a big
role.
Tired of that belly fat? Numerous studies have shown a ketogenic diet helps to shed weight, particularly around the midsection (visceral belly fat is a MAJOR driver of chronic inflammation).
Problems with cholesterol or blood sugar? Research suggests that ketosis can help reduce triglycerides, lower blood sugar and improve levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol.
Brain fog? A ketogenic diet may enhance memory and potentially provides therapeutic support for neurological disorders
such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s & autism.
But the question often arises, "Am I doing the KETO Diet right?"
First of all, simply adding healthy fat to a dish does NOT make it keto. Reducing carbohydrates is the most important part.
Also, if the Keto diet is not done correctly, you could end up with symptoms of “Keto Flu". Others report hitting the “Keto Wall" where weight loss plateaus and the full health benefits of keto are not realized!
To enjoy all of the potential benefits to the fullest, you need to approach ketosis in a healthy,
calculated way.
Three things you need to consider:
1) Fat Sources:
Having a short term fuel source like MCT oil is great for getting into ketosis and kickstarting ketone production. But it it's equally important to include longer chain fatty acids in your diet to maximize metabolic flexibility and fuel availability!
2) Omega 6:3 Balance to Cut
Inflammation:
Did you know that when you eat grain-fed dairy or beef that you are getting an abundance of Omega 6 fatty acids? Grass-fed beef, on the other hand, offers the perfect ancestral balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.
Most people get way TOO many omega 6 fatty acids. This promotes inflammation and oxidation - two cornerstones of chronic disease. Not to mention putting the amazing benefits of KETO (like weight loss) become impossible to reach.
3) Healthy Liver Function for Continued
Success:
The health of your liver is the foundation for fat loss and efficient detoxification. It is also critical to a healthy ketosis journey. Your liver is where ketones are produced, so if you're looking to enjoy keto long term, it’s crucial you have measures in place to support liver
function.
Here’s the great news:
There is a new keto drink which supports ALL of the positive benefits of a keto diet!
It’s called KETO Balance - and it comes in a delicious chocolate flavor with
