The Keto Reboot is here and it’s amazing! Have you ever done a cleanse? The Keto Reboot is similar, in that it is a liquid fast for 60 hours (two full days and the night before and the night after). Everything is completely laid out for you, step by step. And we do the Reboot as a community, so you have plenty of accountability and support! Many choose to Reboot once a month for optimal results, but you can choose…
There’s a lot of talk about Intermittent Fasting lately. Everyone wants to know if intermittent fasting will benefit them and then how to actually get started. Intermittent fasting isn’t a new phenomenon. When we eat this way, we are really mimicking the life of our ancestors. Food was not available to them 24 hours a day. Fasting is not a form of starving ourselves, either. Essentially, it is just an extension of what we already do. Most of…
If you are new to the Ketogenic lifestyle, you may be wondering about snacks. I know I get a lot of questions about what snacks are approved when following the Keto diet…and if snacking is even allowed, in general. Ideally, on the Ketogenic diet, you will not be snacking. You want to maximize the time between meals so your body will use your fat stores as fuel. This is especially true if you are practicing intermittent fasting. If you are…
If you have been trying to follow a Ketogenic diet, you may be a little overwhelmed. Information overload, right? A Ketogenic lifestyle has so many benefits…endless benefits, really. I have lost 70 pounds, have never felt better, and highly recommend this lifestyle to anyone who wants to get healthier, lose weight, have more energy, better digestion….pretty much anything! However, I know some people get stuck in the research phase and don’t know where to start. They think their diet…
WHAT IS KETOSIS? The “keto” in a ketogenic diet comes from the fact that it makes the body produce small fuel molecules called “ketones” This is an alternative fuel for the body, used when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply. Ketones are produced if you eat very few carbs (that are quickly broken down into blood sugar) and only moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar). Ketones are produced in the liver, from…
Keto on a budget? It’s possible! I know how it feels to be on a strict budget. We are a family of nine, with many different food allergies. When I first heard of the Ketogenic diet, I thought it was only for those with a disposable income. To be honest, you do hear many people who say you need the finest, most expensive salmon, special oils and protein powders, fancy bone broths etc. While those things are all amazing for…
It’s that time of year when everyone starts thinking about summer…and shorts…and bathing suits. People start going on crash diets and gyms start filling to capacity. But what about the rest of the year? The benefits of being healthy don’t stop at your ability to fit in your bathing suit or at the number on the scale. Regular exercise and a healthy amount of weight loss can positively impact your overall health and well being. If you are…
KETO…it’s a thing, isn’t it? Everyone is talking about Keto, and you may be wondering why? What is the deal with the Ketogenic diet and how does it work? First, you should know that I don’t consider the Ketogenic diet an actual diet… I don’t diet. Diets are temporary and often don’t teach what really needs to be taught. This is a lifestyle. It is the way our ancestors ate and a way we should go back to. A…
