Going Keto

One of my goals this summer is to go full Keto. I adhered to a high protein keto diet for almost two years several years ago and had great results, but it was so restrictive it was unsustainable. I want to make permanent, sustainable changes to my dietary health, and after further researching ketogenic diets I have settled on a high fat, moderate protein model. 

I have several health issues, most notably Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and the weight and hormone problems associated with it, that have really driven my motivation to be more conscious of what I put into my body. However, at this point, after everything I have learned, especially in regards to how unhealthy sugar is, I would still choose to pursue a sugar-free diet without the extra motivation. If you’re interested in learning more about ketogenic diets, or about why sugar is so unhealthy checkout one of the following suggestions:

• Book: The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung
• Documentary: Forks Over Knives
• Documentary: What the Health
• Documentary: The Magic Pill

These are just a few of my favorite resources. I’ve also created a page where I’ve created a list of some of my favorite Keto recipes. I’ll be updating it as I discover more recipes I love. Try a few of them out, you’ll be surprised how yummy eating healthy can be.
