Following a Ketogenic health plan , Nathalie was given a tailor-made macronutrient eating plan along with a list of recommended foods, tips and tricks, and a host of quick and easy recipes.
“Losing 11 lbs in only 3 weeks is fantastic, but the best part is the health improvement. I feel remarkably better, have more energy, a better mood, can play with my kids, and can do more than ever.”
The Ketogenic diet gained popularity in the 1920s and 30s, and was originally used as a way of managing epilepsy. It centres around “ketosis”, a state in which the body starts to burn fatinstead of carbohydrates to provide you with energy.
Ketosis is achieved through reducing the amount of carbohydrates consumed each day. Cutting carbs stabilises your sugar level and reduces the amount of insulin in the blood, generating ketones in the body.
As a high-fat, low-carb way of eating, Keto requires a few changes to your diet. You’ll eat a lot of eggs, fish and other seafood, meat, a few (low-carb) berries, nuts, natural fats like ghee and coconut oil, and green leafy vegetables; and skip things like: fruit, bread, rice, pasta, candy, ice-cream, grains, and beans.
While it might seem restrictive, there’s a whole lot you can make and eat when you’re doing Keto at home, or otherwise. There are tons of recipes, and with a little imagination (and a little help from the Lifesum app) you’ll be able to whip up low-carb or carb-free variations of your favourite meals in no time!
Best of all, you won’t go hungry . Keto is not about calorie cutting ; although you will have to manage your macros, so if you’re still hungry after a hearty Ketogenic meal, you can eat a handful of nuts, cut a slice of cheese, or eat half an avocado without a problem.
For Nathalie, doing Keto through the Lifesum app was a game-changer. She gained a new lease of life, got in great shape, and now feels more energised than ever before.
