Why choose keto?

Welcome to my website! This is my very first blog post and I believe of all the things I could write about, this is the best place to start.

Why choose keto?

My Journey

Personally, I chose to follow the keto diet because I was infatuated with the idea of losing fat. I’ve always been sort of chubby and it seemed like no matter what I did, I was still… chubby. I have never felt comfortable with my body. I literally never wore t-shirts in public because I didn’t like how my man boobs would show. And despite my honest efforts at exercising and eating healthy, I never had any substantial results.

I decided to try keto and honestly, I had substantial results in two weeks. And I didn’t do a lick of exercise. It definitely was not easy, especially at first. But that first time I looked in the mirror and started to see my body the way I have always wanted it, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

But I need to stress something, I started keto so I could lose fat and look better. But I continue keto for so many other reasons. It goes way beyond just losing weight for me. It’s a lifestyle change. I feel like the absolute best version of myself and that’s the truth.

What is the keto diet?

Keto is high fat, low carb diet with extra emphasis on the low carb part. Most keto diets limit net carbs to 20g per day. This is no easy feat. Compared to the typical American diet, this seems impossible.

Simply put, the goal is to train your body to burn fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. Once you start severely limiting carbs and start consuming lots of fat, your body goes through the process of fat adaption. And once your body is fat adapted, it will turn to your own fat for fuel. Really the combination of the keto diet + intermittent fasting gives significant results. But even keto on its own is very effective!
