START SAYING YES

For years I always believed that to lose weight you had to say NO.  No to sweets, no to fat, no to taste

But for me, when I started a Keto diet all of that changed.  I started saying YES. Yes to weight loss, yes to taste… YES YES YES.

What if I told you you could eat things that tasted amazing and were good for you? This is part of the reason why I have continued the Keto lifestyle for over 5 years.

Not only did I lose weight and feel AMAZING, but I also got to eat so many delicious foods without an ounce of guilt.

WHAT IS THE KETO DIET?

It seems like the latest craze.  Everyone seems to be talking about it or adopting some form of it. It was the most googled diet in 2018.  But the keto diet isn’t new.  It’s been around for thousands of years.  So, what is it?

In a nutshell, the ketogenic diet is a low carb, moderate protein, and high-fat eating diet.  It involves limiting carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat.  When you do this, your body usually enters a metabolic state, called ketosis.  This is where your body uses fat as its chief form of fuel rather than carbohydrates.

BENEFITS OF A KETO DIET

• Weight loss
• Higher good cholesterol
• Reduced sugar cravings and appetite
