This app makes Keto even easier

What about the effects of keto dieting? 

That’s saying something when 2 out of 5 people quit a diet within the first week. The keto diet is all about making your body do the hard work so your mind doesn’t have to. It’s a low-carb, high-fat diet which brings your body into a state known as ketosis, where it burns fat for energy rather than carbs.

While it is low-carb, the high-fat element means you aren’t limited in your food choices, even if you aren’t eating at home. You’ll eat lots of fatty fish and meat, plenty of dairy, and nuts and seeds in abundance, along with low-carb vegetables like peppers, tomatoes, and leafy greens. With this much available to eat, it’s easy to order when you’re out too, just stick to protein-heavy entrees and order side salads with healthy oil or dairy based dressings.

 Well for one, you’ll lose weight. Burning fat is everyone’s weight loss goal, and on this front keto does not disappoint. But there are other benefits too. You’ll find you have more energy and a stabilized blood sugar level (great if you’re diabetic, and great if you typically experience a lot of mood swings); and the diet has even been rumored to help with clearing up acne.

Even though eating out is easy, sometimes eating at home is the hard part. How do you know what to cook? Enter Lifesum. It’s a health app with a keto plan that you can tailor to your needs.
