Proven Weight Loss Plans

Recent studies suggest a ketogenic approach to eating can help people who are overweight to lose weight faster. If you are starting a diet, you are likely more interested in losing fat (or inches) rather than a specific amount of weight. By retraining the body to consume low-carb, high fat foods, it forces your system to burn its own fat reserves for energy through a process known as gluconeogensis. In addition, a keto diet helps eliminate cravings for a short-lived energy boost from hits of sugar, so you feel full longer when you eat less carbs.

Healthy menus personalized just for You!

If you have to force yourself to go hunger, that meal plan is not sustainable. There has long been a common misconception that fat is the primary cause of obesity. That's not true but it does help to explain all the low-fat products available at the grocery store. With a traditional diet that is low in fat with mid-to-high carbohydrate intake, your body burns glucose first then moves on to fat. Ketosis reverses this process and your body becomes a fat burning machine. If your body doesn't have carbs to burn, it will switch to burning fat around the clock.

Would you like to have clearer focus and more mental clarity?

For more than nine decades, ketogenic diets have been used to treat, and even help reverse, neurological disorders and cognitive impairments in children with epilepsy. In one study, over half of the children on a keto diet had greater than 50% reduction in seizures and some children became seizure free. Many healthy adults in ketosis report that they feel better and have clearer thoughts. Having control over your eating habits is very empowering and there is a lot of emerging evidence that ketosis can lower the use of pain and sleep medications.
