The MANY Benefits of Ketosis (Aside From Weight Loss!)

Sometimes, no matter what our efforts are, we just don't lose weight. Maybe we keep losing inches & our clothing fits looser, but maybe we see no change for a bit.

What then? Do we quit?

Digging Deeper Into Ketosis

In session number 3 we went deeper into Ketosis:

What is it? Why do we want to go into it? How do I get into it? How do I know I'm in it?

 

THE BASICS

Your body (brain) can run on either glucose or ketones. Glucose is sugar, while ketones are what your liver turns fat into in the absence of available glucose.

It can either turn your dietary fat into it (butter, avocado, etc.), or your body fat into it (yes, that pudgy stuff on you!), or alcohol into it. We train our bodies to more efficiently burn fat via eating dietary fat with no glucose in sight, so we can then let it burn baby burn! Say goodbye to those fat rolls.

Welcome to the World of Paleo-ish LCHF!

It's time for your "Starter Class".

For those of you who attend my class, this will be a recap; perhaps a chance to go more in-depth.

Don't I NEED those "healthy" whole grains?

Won't I have a heart attack from eating fats...especially saturated fat?

No? Well, why on earth has the government and all the "experts" been telling us to this stuff for the last 35 years?

Don't I need to do cardio to lose weight?

Why is it sooooo hard to give up my sweets (or crackers, breads, whatever)?
