What is the Ketogenic Diet or Ketosis?
• Ketosis means you're in a state of fat burning.

• When you get into ketosis and fat burning, the fat breaks down into what are called ketones. The body can use ketones as an alternative fuel source. This is a much better fuel source than sugar fuel.

• The healthy ketogenic diet is a version of the regular ketogenic diet based on a principle where you have to "get healthy first, then lose the weight." "Get healthy" refers to eating healthy, high-quality foods that provide all of the nutrients your body needs.

What is Intermittent Fasting?
• Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating and not eating. Instead of doing 3-6 meals a day plus snacking, you're eating less frequently. This is important because every time you eat, you raise a hormone called insulin. Too much insulin is very dangerous in the body. With the healthy keto diet and intermittent fasting, we're reducing the excess insulin.

How to Lower Insulin?
• Consume fewer carbohydrates (sugar, refined carbs, grains, pasta, cereal, biscuits, waffles, juice, alcohol, etc.)

• Eat less frequently

Symptoms of High Insulin:
• Belly fat
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Fatigue (especially after eating)
• Decreased cognitive function (lack of focus, poor memory)
• Moodiness (irritable, depressed, grouchy)
• Cravings
• You're hungry all of the time (especially in-between meals)

Benefits of the Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:
• Weight loss
• Reduced inflammation
• Supports cognitive function
• Supports mood
• Making the body function better
