'Tis the season for ambitious goals, new dietary regimens and self-improvement initiatives. If you're anything like nearly half of the United States population, one of your New Year's resolutions is to get fitter, eat healthier, lose weight, improve mental health — or a combination of all of the above.

If you haven't heard of the wildly popular keto diet, it is said to be a solution for a few of these common objectives, namely weight loss. In essence, keto requires dieters to follow an extremely low-carb diet — we're talking a maximum of 50 grams of carbohydrates daily.

But unlike other low-carb diets, which often replace carbohydrates with protein, a keto meal plan requires 70% to 80% of calories to come from fats. This is said to keep the body in a state of "ketosis" where the body breaks down stored fat (using ketones) instead of the body's stored sugar reserves (glucose) for energy.

Once the body is in ketosis, it's smooth sailing in the fat-burning department. But getting into ketosis — and staying there — is the hard part. These electrolyte and ketone packets are designed to help shift you into ketosis while keeping you hydrated along the way!

Each packet contains five grams of D-BHB ketones, 770 milligrams quick-absorbing electrolytes and only 20 calories. The D-BHB ketones are bioidentical, meaning they act identically to the ones produced naturally in your body. As the body's "preferred fuel source," this formula is said to give you sustainable energy and focus without using sugar or caffeine — all while helping you use fat as energy.

In addition to assisting with weight loss, being in a state of ketosis may help regulate blood sugar levels, plus improve acne, heart health and brain function and reduce seizures, among other reported benefits. With blood sugars stabilized, these packets can curb cravings, boost energy, support metabolism and enhance mental clarity.

Keep in mind that these packets don't "do ketosis" for you; you still have to follow the strict low-carb, high-fat dietary regimen. But they make it easier to shift into that state and they couldn't be simpler to use! Just empty a stick into water, shake it and drink it twice a day. Even if you're fasting, these sticks are safe to drink on an empty stomach!

And they come in tasty flavors like chocolate, black cherry, lemon twist, raspberry lemonade, watermelon and mixed berry. There's also a variety pack if you want a few of each! You might not even feel like grabbing a cookie at the office — but no promises there.
