Category: The Best Things In Life Take Work

How many times have I heard “keto doesn’t work for me no matter how much I try” when talking to people who have given up on the ketogenic lifestyle? What is happening in those situations? Did your body actually respond poorly to a healthy diet … or is it possible that there was something else happening?

The best way to solve a problem is to look at it objectively and then systematically control the variables. We are not willing to do that when it comes to our diet. We want a solution that will work within a few months and that will take little to no effort.

So many people don’t believe you can have successful weight loss after 40. They think that as you age, weight gain is just a part of life. But I am an example of how you can lose weight successfully without surgery and maintain that weight loss for years.

Weight loss is a matter of understanding how the body works and then applying that reality to your diet. Of course we need to be consistent in choosing appropriate foods, finding great tasting recipes, and planning our meals. These small steps will help us not only lose the weight but keep the weight off.

What the heck is Keto 2.0 and why should we care? The mainstream medical professionals believe that we should not be eating animal products. So Keto 2.0 encourages us to eat fatty fish. Wait, isn’t that already promoted on a ketogenic lifestyle?

Keto 2.0 is Keto. These artificial rules that they are trying to impose as a sign of new keto are actually a distraction so that they can finally find a way to sell us keto products.

The goal of Keto 2.0, to create a trap! Don’t eat healthy animal proteins, eat these artificial keto products instead. Bars, shakes, and snacks instead of real food. But wait, isn’t keto real food first. We are hearing more lies from big food pushing us away from solivng our metabolic issues and back to processed foods?! And back to big pharma.

You’ve dreamed about this moment for months and then it happens. You’ve reached your goal weight. And after the excitement subsided, what’s next?

The weird part is that, if you don’t have a clear idea about how you will manage your maintenance, you run the risk of relapsing back to eating carbs.

I know, after months of hard work, hard to believe that you would risk weight gain and poor health. Yet, how often do we see this happen. Even with keto. Why?

Want to know how people lose weight? The very first step is by asking the right questions. And it isn’t “how can I lose weight fast?”. That question focuses on a desired outcome but it does not actually give any real direction.

I’m saying it right from the start. Stop looking for short cuts. You will only set yourself up for failure. Weight loss is a process of allowing your body to use appropriate fuels to power itself while also healing any damage from the inappropriate fuel sources you were previously using. Believing that you can heal your body in a few weeks after years of damage is unrealistic.
