20141220_200541.jpg

A Ketogenic Diet is any diet that causes ketones to be produced by the liver, shifting the body’s metabolism away from glucose towards fat utilization. Typically on a moderate to high carb diet, the body will prefer glucose for fuel (usually from dietary carbs), but by restricting carbs, the body will prefer fat for fuel.

basic diet = High protein, high fats, low carbs.

With a quick Google search on keto you will find a bunch of info.

A little background on myself, I started keto in may 2014. I had a checkup awhile back and found out that my blood sugar levels were elevated and I decided to make a change.

As of January 2015 I have lost a little over 65 pounds and my numbers have gone back to the appropriate levels.
