Keto isn’t just a diet; it is a lifestyle.
There is so much more to it than just losing weight. In fact, the benefits of a keto lifestyle may be just what you’ve been looking for to feel your best.
Are you ready to discover how keto can change your life for the better?
What Is Keto?
The goal of keto is to train your body to burn fat for fuel instead of sugar by putting your body into a metabolic state of ketosis. Simply stated, those on a keto diet eat a high-fat, moderate protein diet and very-few-to-no carbohydrates. Their diet typically includes:
- Fish
- Meat
- Eggs
- Dairy
- Oils
- Green veggies
By maintaining a state of ketosis—which happens when you deplete your body of stored sugar—your body looks for another way to find energy. This is when your liver takes over and produces ketones, which your body then uses as its primary energy source.
How Can the Keto Diet Benefit Me?
Here are some ways you may benefit from a keto lifestyle:
- Weight management support: This is the obvious benefit, and a big one since those on a responsible keto diet are burning fat as their energy source. You’re basically turning your body into a fat-burning machine.†
- Mental focus support: Eating carbs spikes blood sugar levels, which causes a rollercoaster ride for your energy source. Limiting your carb intake helps keep blood sugars in check and your energy source on an even keel, thus aiding your brain.†
- Energy support: Living a keto lifestyle supports long-lasting energy, since your body is burning its fat supply. This may help you stop feeling sluggish or looking for an afternoon nap.†
- Help with food cravings: Keto keeps you feeling fuller longer since you’re not eating all those carbs, which can leave you scrambling for a sugary fix.†
