Does it feel like everyone is talking about the Keto diet? Are you wondering how it works and is it really safe to eat fat? This healthy fat, low-carb, moderate protein way of eating promises to turn your body into a fat-burning machine. It’s no wonder Keto has become very popular and a healthy way to lose weight quickly.

Your body no longer burns glucose for fuel and converts food into energy from fat. Eating a lot of healthy fat, moderate protein and a limited number of carbs puts you in ketosis, a metabolic state where your body burns fat instead of carbs for fuel. When your body is unable to get glucose from carbs, your liver converts fatty acids from your diet into ketones, an alternative source of energy. Burning ketones in place of glucose has many health benefits such as reducing inflammation, reversing type 2 diabetes and more*

The Keto diet has been around since the 1920s when researchers found that raised levels of ketones in the blood led to fewer epileptic seizures in patients.

Burns fat: The Keto diet often leads to rapid and substantial weight loss and reduces hunger.

Increases energy: Ketosis helps the brain create more mitochondria, the power generators within cells.

Reduces inflammation: The Keto diet is anti-inflammatory, and could protect you against major degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and cancer. *
