Let’s talk about the keto diet today!
It seems to be the latest big trend in the weight loss world.
And I am having a turkey sandwich and an apple for lunch after I write this, so I thought it would be perfect timing 🙂
So let’s start with explaining exactly what the “keto” diet actually is.
The popular low-carb diets (such as Atkins or Paleo) are somewhat similar, but they modify a true keto diet.
A true keto plan centers on fat, which supplies as much as 90% of daily calories.
Instead of relying on sugar (glucose) that comes from carbohydrates (such as grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits), the keto diet relies on ketone bodies, a type of fuel that the liver produces from stored fat.
So the idea is that your body burns fat for fuel, and you lose weight!
So does it work?
For a lot of people, in the short-term, yes.
I’m sure you’ve heard from a friend or family member or co-worker who tried the approach, and it’s been great for them.
But here’s my thing.
For 99%+ of people, this approach is not sustainable.
I just don’t think the vast majority of people doing this are still going to be at it five, ten, fifteen years from now.
And quite honestly – if you’re not planning on making it a life change, why bother?
WHO CARES if I can get you to lose 10 or 20 or 30 or more pounds … but then you can’t keep following the plan for longer than a couple / few months … and you end up this time next year at the exact same place you are now?
Our solution at FVT is teaching you how to do this the RIGHT way. So that you can finally develop a healthy relationship with food. And so that you can still eat all the foods you enjoy, but get to the healthy weight you want to be at, and stay there.
