As of Monday I will be starting the keto diet.
From the information that I have been reading there are pro's and cons to the diet. I have been looking more at keto than other diets as my mum has followed it now for 5 months and lost 2.5 stone.
I have struggled with my weight for 17 years and so has my mum, we have tried loads of diets and this one seems to fit our life styles.
As I understand it for long term keto diet is not a good idea but for 90 days to get your body on the right track is the easiest way.
After talking to a friend who is a scientist, she explained to me that carbs turn to sugar which our body burns instead of the fat around our bodies.
If we eat sugar or carbs our body doesn't burn fat as quick as it should as we don't release the chemical in our body to burn the fat.
With us eating the fat that is needed to burn the fat around our body our body naturally produces the enzymes needed to burn the fat.
It is really interesting for me to learn this way of life.
I will be blogging about my time on keto and I am interested in seeing where I end up in 90 days time.
keep steeming :D
