What is the keto diet, and why should you try it?

The keto diet is one of the most buzzed-about and sometimes controversial food fads from recent years. Quite simply, keto is a high-fat, low-carb eating plan that encourages weight loss by burning fat for energy instead of glucose. “Ketosis” is just a fancy word for the metabolic state your body enters to turn fat into energy. Some benefits include:

  • Feeling full longer

  • Greater amounts of energy

  • Fewer cravings

Several keto studies have found promising results in weight loss, blood sugar control, and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In Keto for Beginners, we looked carefully at these studies and consulted with experts to assemble all the information needed to approach the diet in a thoughtful way. It’s not just about what you’re eating–it’s about how your whole body will feel.

It’s important, with the keto diet, to build up to the right balance of healthy fats, proteins, and carbs. This helps ease your body into this way of eating and avoids any negative keto side effects. Keto for Beginners will help you do exactly that.
