Keto is a low-carb, high-fat diet that switches your metabolism from burning glucose (sugar) to burning ketones (fat). Keto makes it easy to burn fat, lose weight, feel energized, and combat insulin resistance.

Your body has way more stored fat than stored sugar (glucose). The average person has 90-100,000 calories of stored fat, but only about 1,700 calories of stored sugar. If you run your body on fat, you can go longer without being hungry or craving carbs. That’s the big advantage of keto.

Low-fat and low-calorie diets are high in carbohydrates. But carbs prevent fat burning! People on these diets struggle to maintain a healthy weight. They have to exercise more and often only lose water weight. This is why 98 percent of diets fail.

Lowering your carbs to 20 to 50 grams per day causes you to go into ketosis. The lower your carbs, the more you get into ketosis and burn fat.

The ketogenic diet simplified:
• Lower your carbs
• Eat moderate protein
• Get most of your calories from healthy fats

Many believe that a high-fat diet is unhealthy. But if you keep your carbs low, there are no risks associated with consuming healthy fats.

It takes three days to switch your body’s fuel source from sugar to fat, and you start burning your own body fat.

As soon as you consume too many carbs on other diets, your blood sugar drops and you become cranky and hungry all the time.

If you do healthy keto, you’ll burn fat, eliminate hunger and cravings, increase energy, improve your cognitive function, and reduce inflammation.

My version of keto is called Healthy Keto. Healthy Keto is a low-carb plan with healthy ingredients and nutrient-dense foods. Always choose high-quality foods on your keto diet.

The purpose of getting into ketosis is to normalize your insulin levels. Nearly 80 percent of the population has a pre-diabetic condition called insulin resistance. This condition happens when your body can’t effectively process insulin, leading to health problems like diabetes, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s, and others.
