Introduction
Next to exercise, proper hydration and sleeping right, practicing a healthy
diet is one of the major contributing factors to living a healthy, happy and
fulfilling life. Eating is a basic necessity to sustain life and so, many people
forget to do it in the right way. Western culture promotes doing everything
in a fast way and so we have taken on a trend of eating fast foods and either
forget or ignore the detrimental effects of eating processed foods or foods
laden with sugar and unhealthy fats.
We see the unfortunate effects of such a poor diet every day in the high
number of obesity cases worldwide in addition to the rise in associated
diseases like cardiovascular health and type 2 diabetes. Many people allow
the deterioration of their health and continue to eat this way because they
want to avoid healthy eating due to the negative stereotype that healthy
eating is not enjoyable.
The ketogenic diet is one that kicks that wrongful assumption right out of
the park. With a few simple additions and subtractions, you can transform
veggies and lean proteins into meals that give you the nutrition you need,
that promotes overall good health and turns your body into a fat-burning
machine.
You can eat food that is good for your gut, heart and brain, that is simple,
affordable and, best yet, has powerful fat-burning properties. The ketogenic
diet makes that possibility a reality. This diet is not one that has suddenly
immerged as a new trend. It is one that is backed by decades of success and
strong scientific principles as to why it is so effective.
This book gives you the information you need to use that track record to
your advantage.

Chapter 1: The Ketogenic Diet and What
It Means For Weight Loss
Obesity and the Health Implications
More than 10% of the global population is obese. Of that number, more
than 40% of American adults are obese. Obesity is a disease whereby a
person carries excessive body weight or body fat. Obesity is diagnosed by a
medical doctor using BMI, which stands for body mass index. The BMI
represents a person's approximate age and height compared to the body
mass or body weight they carry.
A person who has a BMI that is 30 or over is considered obese. Being obese
is not the only problem when it comes to body mass and body fat. Being
overweight also creates several health problems. If you have a BMI
between 25 and 29.9, you are considered overweight but not yet obese.
Having a BMI that is below 18.5 means you are underweight and need to
gain more weight.
Having a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is the sweet spot as this is an
indication that a person carries a healthy body weight.
Being obese and overweight lead to a variety of negative consequences
such as a diminished quality of life and decreased mobility and flexibility. It
is not limited to these negative effects. Obesity commonly comes with the
increased risk of developing other health complications. A few of these
include:
Cardiovascular disease
Type 2 diabetes
Certain cancers such as breast, kidney and prostate
Osteoarthritis
Digestive issues such as heartburn and decreased liver function
Sleep apnea
Obesity and being overweight are conditions that are entirely preventable
and luckily, reversible. Practicing the ketogenic diet is one lifestyle change
that a person can implement to decrease their BMI and obtain a healthy
body weight.
What is the Ketogenic Diet?
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein and low-carbohydrate
diet that allows the body to gain energy in a more efficient and cleaner
metabolic process. The ketogenic diet is often referred to as keto diet for
short.
While many people are taken aback by the fact that a high-fat diet promotes
fat burning, the science behind how this diet promotes a healthier weight is
undeniable. Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. However,
consuming carbohydrates often leads to a state of addiction whereby a
person is compelled to eat excessive amounts of carbohydrate-rich foods.
This is because we get a huge boost in energy when we consume
carbohydrates, which causes euphoric feelings. This boost is followed by a
drastic drop in energy that causes fatigue and irritability. The brain then
demands more carbohydrates to compensate for that high so we get stuck in
a cycle of eating more and more carbs to regain that energy boost.
Sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrates. Excessive carbohydrate and
sugar intake leads to weight gain among many of the detrimental health
effects. The ketogenic diet encourages the body to seek a new energy source
in the form of fat. This energy production is far more efficient and stable
than the use of carbohydrates and does not have the addictive nature of
carbohydrates.
The ketogenic diet is not a new diet and has actually been around for more
than 100 years. It was initially developed to help fight the symptoms of
epilepsy. However, it was soon found that it led to healthy weight
management in addition to promoting many other health benefits.
The standard ketogenic diet promotes that a practitioner consume a diet that
has 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates. Effectively practicing the
ketogenic diet means that you should not consume more than 50 g of
carbohydrates per day.
How the Ketogenic Diet Promotes Weight Loss
The ketogenic diet is effective at aiding in weight loss for the simple fact
that it replaces carbohydrate intake with the intake of healthy fats. This
causes a shift in the body's primary metabolic process. Instead of
metabolizing carbohydrates, the body will then metabolize fat in an effort to
gain energy because carbohydrate supply is low. Because the body is
burning fat, this leads to weight loss and, by association, other positive
health implications.
The metabolic processing of fats instead of carbohydrates is known as
ketosis. This metabolic process only occurs when there is a low supply of
carbohydrates in the body. Ketosis does not only occur when a person
practices the ketogenic diet. It can occur naturally when a person is fasting,
during pregnancy, after strenuous exercise or a skipped meal.
The name ketosis comes from the fact that fat molecules are transformed
into energy sources known as ketones. These molecules are always present
in the bloodstream but the concentration becomes drastically greater when
the body no longer metabolizes carbohydrates for energy.
It might be hard to understand why consuming more fat attains weight loss
but the mere fact that the body is metabolizing more fat during the process
of ketosis leads to natural weight loss.
The ketogenic diet also promotes weight loss because the practitioner feels
more satisfied and fuller after every meal due to the higher consumption of
fat and protein. Because this person feels fuller for longer, they are less
likely to reach for unhealthy and frequent snacks. This person is also likely
to eat smaller meals. Both of these conditions leads to not overeating, which
helps with better weight management and reduction. Because this person is
not overeating and feels fuller for longer, they have a reduced appetite as
well.
Weight loss is attributed also to the fact that practicing the ketogenic diet
helps get rid of belly fat, which is also known as visceral fat. This kind of
fat builds up around organs in the abdominal area and is hard to get rid of.
Due to its location, it has been linked to the development of heart disease
and type 2 diabetes. This type of fat commonly develops due to the
consumption of carbohydrates and refined sugars. Because both of these
types of foods are avoided on the ketogenic diet, this leads to a drastic
reduction in weight in addition to this fat being burnt in ketosis.
The Other Benefits of Practicing the Ketogenic Diet
Forcing the body into the metabolic process of ketosis via the practicing of
the ketogenic diet is not only good for weight loss. It has other benefits,
which include:
Protecting body cells from damage from free radicals. The molecules
that normally facilitate this function are known as antioxidants.
Vitamin E and vitamin C are popular examples of antioxidants. They
function by ensuring that agents that cause oxidation, which is a
process by which a molecule known as a free radical produces
oxidizing compounds in the body. Ketones make the oxygen that these
free radical produce less reactive and therefore, less damaging to cells.
Stimulating mitochondrial production. Mitochondria are organelles
found in body cells. They help generate chemical energy for
biochemical reactions. Cells that use ketones as a fuel source
synthesize new mitochondria and this facilitation is especially
prominent in brain cells. As a result, this makes energy production
more efficient as well as improves the overall health of cells that use
ketones for energy.
Aiding in preventing certain cancers. Most cancerous cells cannot use
ketones as fuel and therefore, die when ketosis is the primary fuel
production process in a body.
Helping in improving brain function, and protecting and regenerating
nervous system cells. The brain processes energy derived from ketones
more effectively than it does energy derived from carbohydrates.
Facilitating the process known as autophagy. Autophagy is a process
whereby the body purges itself of damaged cells and toxins to
regenerate new and healthier cells.
Are There Any Cons to the Ketogenic Diet?
All things have a downside and this is the same with the ketogenic diet. A
small group of persons who are newly acquainted with the ketogenic diet
have reported having negative symptoms. These symptoms include:
Digestive issues
Hunger
Nausea
Low energy
Sleep disturbances
This state is known as the keto flu and is a result of the body adjusting to
this new way of metabolizing fat to gain energy. It is also a result of the
body having an altered state of water and mineral levels.
You can combat the keto flu by gently easing into the ketogenic diet by
slowly removing carbohydrates from your diet rather than transitioning in
one fell swoop. You can also combat the keto flu by adding more salt to
your diet and taking mineral supplements to stabilize water and mineral
levels.
Other ways in which you can combat the keto flu include:
Upping your caffeine intake. You can do this by drinking more
unsweetened coffee and tea. Caffeine helps boost energy, burn fat and
increases physical performance.
Consume MCT oil. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. In
addition to being an energy booster, it also helps boost ketone levels in
the bloodstream.
Consume whey proteins. Energy levels may also be down due to the
body adjusting to new protein levels so boost your protein numbers by
consuming whey protein.
Consume exogenous ketones. These are supplements that you can
consume to boost your ketone levels to facilitate faster adjusting for
the body.
Another possible disadvantage of practicing the ketogenic diet is nutrient
deficiencies due to the limitation of certain foods from this diet.
However, this can be combated by incorporating alternatives into the diet
and consuming supplements.
Chapter 2: How the Ketogenic Diet
Compares to Other Weight Loss Diets
With so many diet choices when it comes to weight loss and weight
management, it can be hard to choose the right one for you. To make this
easier for you, I have compiled a list of how this diet stacks up against 3 of
the most popular weight-loss diets in modern times.
Ketogenic Diet vs. Vegan Diet
The vegan diet is a subset of the vegetarian diet whereby only foods derived
from plants are eaten. This means that common protein and fat sources are
eliminated as no animal or animal by-products like eggs and other dairy
products are consumed on this diet. While this diet can seem rather strict, it
has benefits like:
Enhanced weight loss and weight maintenance.
Providing plant-based nutrition that is rich in probiotics, vitamins,
minerals and antioxidants.
Protecting against certain cancers.
Boosting heart health.
Decreasing the global footprint.
While this diet promotes having a lower BMI, it is very restrictive and the
many limitations that are placed on the practitioner can lead to more
nutrition deficiencies than the ketogenic diet if the practitioner is not
careful.
Ketogenic Diet vs. Paleo Diet
The Paleo diet is often referred to as the caveman diet because it is
principally based on eating foods that cavemen did. This diet was founded
on the principle that due to the high level of processed foods in this day and
age, diet is one of the main things damaging our bodies. Therefore, the aim
is to reverse the diet by eating what was common in the Paleolithic time
period to achieve better health via whole eating and as little food processing
as possible. The foods that are primarily consumed on this diet include
meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and some fats and oils. All grains
legumes, most dairy sources and processed foods are eliminated.
The two diets do have commonality such as:
Emphasizing the consumption of whole foods
Avoiding the consumption of sugar
Emphasizing the consumption of healthy fats
Eliminating the consumption of grains and legumes
They differ in fundamental ways, though. Practicing the Paleo diet focuses
on the ideology of a different time period while the ketogenic diet focuses
on the consumption of macronutrients. The Paleo diet also allows for the
consumption of carbohydrates in the form of unrefined sugars that are
found in fruits and some vegetables. As a result, the Paleo diet while more
flexible, does not promote weight loss in the same way that the ketogenic
diet does.
Ketogenic Diet vs. Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is not a diet per say but is rather a way of eating that
promotes going without food for a set period of time, which is usually
around 16 hours, then eating during a particular window each day. This way
of eating does promote weight loss in addition to other health benefits like:
Lowering the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2
diabetes
Increasing mental clarity and focus
Increasing energy
Aiding in the prevention of some cancers
Despite these great benefits, there are drawbacks to intermittent fasting and
they include:
Digestive issues
Causing weight gain due to the practitioner overeating during the
eating window
Interfering with the social aspects of eating
Being low energy and unproductive due to hunger
While both processes promote ketosis, intermittent fasting leads to more
hunger, less energy and therefore, unstable results as it comes to weight
loss. Therefore, you can gain the benefits associated with intermittent
fasting such as autophagy and sustained weight loss without having to deal
with the pain of hunger and potential nutrient deficiencies.

avoided on the ketogenic diet. Therefore, a thorough breakdown of the
foods that should be removed or drastically reduced from the diet looks like
this:
All fruits except consuming a small portion of berries on occasion.
Foods that are high in sugar content like fruit juices, cakes and sodas.
Sweeteners like sugar, maple syrup, agave and honey.
Root veggies like potatoes, beets and yams.

Chapter 4: Meal Prepping
We have all been there. You have come in from a hard day where your
commitments took a toll on your mind and body. You are hungry but you
also want to savor something that excites your taste buds. However, after
your long day, the last thing you want to do is cook. Now you are in a
predicament. You would not be in this predicament if you had the foresight
to meal prep.
What is Meal Prepping?
Meal prepping is the process of preparing meals partially or wholly in
advance. Most people meal prep on a weekend so that a week's worth of
meals is prepped in advance. However, the process is highly individualized
so some people meal prep for only a few days while others do it for 1
month or even longer. The process is facilitated by how much storage space
you have and how much time you have on your hands to prepare meals in
that one session.
Meal prepping can be done in three ways. The first method involves
preparing ingredients in advance. Preparation methods include peeling and
slicing vegetables and fruits, roasting meats and other proteins, etc. Since
these processes have already been done, when it is time to eat, all you have
to do is mix the ingredients together for a tasty meal.
The second method is batch cooking. Batch cooking is the preparation of
large meals then freezing them in entirety for later use. Lastly, you can
make individual portioned meals. These meals are stored in appropriate
containers so that they are easy to grab and go when needed. This last
method is very popular among people who live busy lives and are typically
on the go.
The first thing a person needs to do when meal prepping is choose the meal
prepping method they will practice. Next, recipes need to be chosen for
breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts. This needs to be done with
careful consideration so that balanced nutrition is provided every day of the
week as well as to keep within the carbohydrate consumption limitation.
After the recipes have been decided then you can determine the amount of
each meal that will be prepared in advance.
Benefits of Meal Prepping
There are a variety of benefits to preparing your meals in advance and they
include:
Saving time. having your meals prepared in advance and ready to eat
at the time that you need saves you time and you do not have to put in
the daily expenditure in that department.
Saving money . A shopping list can be prepared from determining the
recipes to be prepared. This prevents repeat trips to the grocery store
to pick up ingredients as well as the unnecessary buying of unneeded
items.
Saving energy. Meal prepping takes away the guesswork from meal
preparation throughout the week so this saves mental energy. It also
saves on physical energy by allows all or most meal preparation in one
session rather than spread across every day.
Disadvantages to Meal Prepping
There is only one major downside to meal prepping and it only applies to a
few people as it is about personal preferences. Some people believe that
meal prepping is too restrictive because it entails eating the same food or
the same type of dishes too many days in a row. However, monotony does
not have to exist in meal preparation as you can use different dresses,
condiments and spices to add different flavors to the same dish. Another
method for avoiding monotony includes preparing several types of dishes
that can be stored in the freezer so you can have variety throughout the
week.
Another minor disadvantage is that some people feel that the freshness of
food is lost throughout the week.
Due to a small number of disadvantages to meal prepping, most people feel
that the benefits outweigh them and thus, they meal prep to gain the
benefits discussed above.
Rules of Effective Meal Prepping
Use foods that last longer such as frozen vegetables, stiff, green leafy
vegetables, nuts, seeds, lean proteins and fresh, stiff veggies.
When meal prepping for breakfast, ensure that your meal has plenty of
protein and fiber.
Soups and salads are great meal prep options for lunch because they
are highly customizable and provide a great source of vegetables and
lean protein.
Meal prepping for dinner is a great way to get your daily recommend
intake of vitamins and minerals from veggies.
To ensure that meals last longer, ensure that you have appropriate
storage such as freezer-safe plastic bags and airtight containers.
Store meal prep meals at the appropriate temperature. Food that is
stored in the food danger zone, which is between 40 degrees F and 140
degrees F, typically spoil faster and therefore, pose a risk for food
poisoning. Therefore, your refrigerator should have an internal
temperature of 40 degrees F or lower while your freezer should have
an internal temperature of 0 degrees F or lower.
Meal prepped food typically last for between 2 and 5 days in the
refrigerator and much longer when frozen. To keep track of dates,
place labels on storage containers.
When reheating food, ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165
degrees F to kill any possible bacteria grow.

Chapter 5: Smoothie Recipes
All the recipes in this section follow the same preparation steps:
1. Add all the ingredients into a blender
2. Blend for about 1 minute or until the desired consistency is achieved.
3. Serve immediately.
4. To meal prep ahead, store in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for up
to 10 days.
That’s it!
For the best tasting smoothies, add the ingredients in this order:
1. Veggies and/or fruits
2. Powders such as protein powered or cocoa powder if using
3. Thickeners like chia seeds, flax seeds and nut butters
4. Liquid of choice like water, ice, milk, or juice.
You can meal prep smoothies in one of two ways. The first method entails
making the smoothies ahead of time then freeze the contents in freezer-safe
plastic bags. With the second method, you place the ingredients in a freezer-
safe plastic bag and make the smoothies at the time of consumption.
Smoothies made ahead can be refrigerated for up to 3 days depending on:
If frozen or fresh fruits were used. Frozen fruits can thaw out and
make the smoothies more watery in texture and less favorable.
Therefore, for longer-lasting smoothies, use fresh fruits.
If green veggies were used. While these do not affect the flavor over
time, they can make the smoothies turn into a brown or gray color,
which is typically unappetizing.
If thickeners like chia seeds were used. These cause smoothies to spoil
faster so if you want your smoothies to last longer in the refrigerator,
skip the thickeners.
The second method for meal prepping smoothies allows for more longevity.
It also allows you to enjoy better flavor and texture without giving up the
ingredients you love.

We see the unfortunate effects of such a poor diet every day in the high number of obesity cases worldwide in addition to the rise in associated diseases like cardiovascular health and type 2 diabetes.

  • 11. Chapter 1: The Ketogenic Diet and What It Means For Weight Loss Obesity and the Health Implications More than 10% of the global population is obese. Of that number, more than 40% of American adults are obese. Obesity is a disease whereby a person carries excessive body weight or body fat. Obesity is diagnosed by a medical doctor using BMI, which stands for body mass index. The BMI represents a person's approximate age and height compared to the body mass or body weight they carry. A person who has a BMI that is 30 or over is considered obese. Being obese is not the only problem when it comes to body mass and body fat. Being overweight also creates several health problems. If you have a BMI between 25 and 29.9, you are considered overweight but not yet obese. Having a BMI that is below 18.5 means you are underweight and need to gain more weight. Having a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is the sweet spot as this is an indication that a person carries a healthy body weight. Being obese and overweight lead to a variety of negative consequences such as a diminished quality of life and decreased mobility and flexibility. It is not limited to these negative effects. Obesity commonly comes with the increased risk of developing other health complications. A few of these include: Cardiovascular disease Type 2 diabetes Certain cancers such as breast, kidney and prostate Osteoarthritis Digestive issues such as heartburn and decreased liver function Sleep apnea Obesity and being overweight are conditions that are entirely preventable and luckily, reversible. Practicing the ketogenic diet is one lifestyle change that a person can implement to decrease their BMI and obtain a healthy body weight.
  • 12. What is the Ketogenic Diet? The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein and low-carbohydrate diet that allows the body to gain energy in a more efficient and cleaner metabolic process. The ketogenic diet is often referred to as keto diet for short. While many people are taken aback by the fact that a high-fat diet promotes fat burning, the science behind how this diet promotes a healthier weight is undeniable. Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. However, consuming carbohydrates often leads to a state of addiction whereby a person is compelled to eat excessive amounts of carbohydrate-rich foods. This is because we get a huge boost in energy when we consume carbohydrates, which causes euphoric feelings. This boost is followed by a drastic drop in energy that causes fatigue and irritability. The brain then demands more carbohydrates to compensate for that high so we get stuck in a cycle of eating more and more carbs to regain that energy boost. Sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrates. Excessive carbohydrate and sugar intake leads to weight gain among many of the detrimental health effects. The ketogenic diet encourages the body to seek a new energy source in the form of fat. This energy production is far more efficient and stable than the use of carbohydrates and does not have the addictive nature of carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet is not a new diet and has actually been around for more than 100 years. It was initially developed to help fight the symptoms of epilepsy. However, it was soon found that it led to healthy weight management in addition to promoting many other health benefits. The standard ketogenic diet promotes that a practitioner consume a diet that has 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates. Effectively practicing the ketogenic diet means that you should not consume more than 50 g of carbohydrates per day. How the Ketogenic Diet Promotes Weight Loss The ketogenic diet is effective at aiding in weight loss for the simple fact that it replaces carbohydrate intake with the intake of healthy fats. This causes a shift in the body's primary metabolic process. Instead of
  • 13. metabolizing carbohydrates, the body will then metabolize fat in an effort to gain energy because carbohydrate supply is low. Because the body is burning fat, this leads to weight loss and, by association, other positive health implications. The metabolic processing of fats instead of carbohydrates is known as ketosis. This metabolic process only occurs when there is a low supply of carbohydrates in the body. Ketosis does not only occur when a person practices the ketogenic diet. It can occur naturally when a person is fasting, during pregnancy, after strenuous exercise or a skipped meal. The name ketosis comes from the fact that fat molecules are transformed into energy sources known as ketones. These molecules are always present in the bloodstream but the concentration becomes drastically greater when the body no longer metabolizes carbohydrates for energy. It might be hard to understand why consuming more fat attains weight loss but the mere fact that the body is metabolizing more fat during the process of ketosis leads to natural weight loss. The ketogenic diet also promotes weight loss because the practitioner feels more satisfied and fuller after every meal due to the higher consumption of fat and protein. Because this person feels fuller for longer, they are less likely to reach for unhealthy and frequent snacks. This person is also likely to eat smaller meals. Both of these conditions leads to not overeating, which helps with better weight management and reduction. Because this person is not overeating and feels fuller for longer, they have a reduced appetite as well. Weight loss is attributed also to the fact that practicing the ketogenic diet helps get rid of belly fat, which is also known as visceral fat. This kind of fat builds up around organs in the abdominal area and is hard to get rid of. Due to its location, it has been linked to the development of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This type of fat commonly develops due to the consumption of carbohydrates and refined sugars. Because both of these types of foods are avoided on the ketogenic diet, this leads to a drastic reduction in weight in addition to this fat being burnt in ketosis. The Other Benefits of Practicing the Ketogenic Diet
  • 14. Forcing the body into the metabolic process of ketosis via the practicing of the ketogenic diet is not only good for weight loss. It has other benefits, which include: Protecting body cells from damage from free radicals. The molecules that normally facilitate this function are known as antioxidants. Vitamin E and vitamin C are popular examples of antioxidants. They function by ensuring that agents that cause oxidation, which is a process by which a molecule known as a free radical produces oxidizing compounds in the body. Ketones make the oxygen that these free radical produce less reactive and therefore, less damaging to cells. Stimulating mitochondrial production. Mitochondria are organelles found in body cells. They help generate chemical energy for biochemical reactions. Cells that use ketones as a fuel source synthesize new mitochondria and this facilitation is especially prominent in brain cells. As a result, this makes energy production more efficient as well as improves the overall health of cells that use ketones for energy. Aiding in preventing certain cancers. Most cancerous cells cannot use ketones as fuel and therefore, die when ketosis is the primary fuel production process in a body. Helping in improving brain function, and protecting and regenerating nervous system cells. The brain processes energy derived from ketones more effectively than it does energy derived from carbohydrates. Facilitating the process known as autophagy. Autophagy is a process whereby the body purges itself of damaged cells and toxins to regenerate new and healthier cells. Are There Any Cons to the Ketogenic Diet? All things have a downside and this is the same with the ketogenic diet. A small group of persons who are newly acquainted with the ketogenic diet have reported having negative symptoms. These symptoms include: Digestive issues Hunger Nausea Low energy
  • 15. Sleep disturbances This state is known as the keto flu and is a result of the body adjusting to this new way of metabolizing fat to gain energy. It is also a result of the body having an altered state of water and mineral levels. You can combat the keto flu by gently easing into the ketogenic diet by slowly removing carbohydrates from your diet rather than transitioning in one fell swoop. You can also combat the keto flu by adding more salt to your diet and taking mineral supplements to stabilize water and mineral levels. Other ways in which you can combat the keto flu include: Upping your caffeine intake. You can do this by drinking more unsweetened coffee and tea. Caffeine helps boost energy, burn fat and increases physical performance. Consume MCT oil. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. In addition to being an energy booster, it also helps boost ketone levels in the bloodstream. Consume whey proteins. Energy levels may also be down due to the body adjusting to new protein levels so boost your protein numbers by consuming whey protein. Consume exogenous ketones. These are supplements that you can consume to boost your ketone levels to facilitate faster adjusting for the body. Another possible disadvantage of practicing the ketogenic diet is nutrient deficiencies due to the limitation of certain foods from this diet. However, this can be combated by incorporating alternatives into the diet and consuming supplements.
  • 16. Chapter 2: How the Ketogenic Diet Compares to Other Weight Loss Diets With so many diet choices when it comes to weight loss and weight management, it can be hard to choose the right one for you. To make this easier for you, I have compiled a list of how this diet stacks up against 3 of the most popular weight-loss diets in modern times. Ketogenic Diet vs. Vegan Diet The vegan diet is a subset of the vegetarian diet whereby only foods derived from plants are eaten. This means that common protein and fat sources are eliminated as no animal or animal by-products like eggs and other dairy products are consumed on this diet. While this diet can seem rather strict, it has benefits like: Enhanced weight loss and weight maintenance. Providing plant-based nutrition that is rich in probiotics, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Protecting against certain cancers. Boosting heart health. Decreasing the global footprint. While this diet promotes having a lower BMI, it is very restrictive and the many limitations that are placed on the practitioner can lead to more nutrition deficiencies than the ketogenic diet if the practitioner is not careful. Ketogenic Diet vs. Paleo Diet The Paleo diet is often referred to as the caveman diet because it is principally based on eating foods that cavemen did. This diet was founded on the principle that due to the high level of processed foods in this day and age, diet is one of the main things damaging our bodies. Therefore, the aim is to reverse the diet by eating what was common in the Paleolithic time period to achieve better health via whole eating and as little food processing as possible. The foods that are primarily consumed on this diet include meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and some fats and oils. All grains legumes, most dairy sources and processed foods are eliminated.
  • 17. The two diets do have commonality such as: Emphasizing the consumption of whole foods Avoiding the consumption of sugar Emphasizing the consumption of healthy fats Eliminating the consumption of grains and legumes They differ in fundamental ways, though. Practicing the Paleo diet focuses on the ideology of a different time period while the ketogenic diet focuses on the consumption of macronutrients. The Paleo diet also allows for the consumption of carbohydrates in the form of unrefined sugars that are found in fruits and some vegetables. As a result, the Paleo diet while more flexible, does not promote weight loss in the same way that the ketogenic diet does. Ketogenic Diet vs. Intermittent Fasting Intermittent fasting is not a diet per say but is rather a way of eating that promotes going without food for a set period of time, which is usually around 16 hours, then eating during a particular window each day. This way of eating does promote weight loss in addition to other health benefits like: Lowering the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes Increasing mental clarity and focus Increasing energy Aiding in the prevention of some cancers Despite these great benefits, there are drawbacks to intermittent fasting and they include: Digestive issues Causing weight gain due to the practitioner overeating during the eating window Interfering with the social aspects of eating Being low energy and unproductive due to hunger While both processes promote ketosis, intermittent fasting leads to more hunger, less energy and therefore, unstable results as it comes to weight loss. Therefore, you can gain the benefits associated with intermittent
  • 18. fasting such as autophagy and sustained weight loss without having to deal with the pain of hunger and potential nutrient deficiencies.

  • 26. Chapter 4: Meal Prepping We have all been there. You have come in from a hard day where your commitments took a toll on your mind and body. You are hungry but you also want to savor something that excites your taste buds. However, after your long day, the last thing you want to do is cook. Now you are in a predicament. You would not be in this predicament if you had the foresight to meal prep. What is Meal Prepping? Meal prepping is the process of preparing meals partially or wholly in advance. Most people meal prep on a weekend so that a week's worth of meals is prepped in advance. However, the process is highly individualized so some people meal prep for only a few days while others do it for 1 month or even longer. The process is facilitated by how much storage space you have and how much time you have on your hands to prepare meals in that one session. Meal prepping can be done in three ways. The first method involves preparing ingredients in advance. Preparation methods include peeling and slicing vegetables and fruits, roasting meats and other proteins, etc. Since these processes have already been done, when it is time to eat, all you have to do is mix the ingredients together for a tasty meal. The second method is batch cooking. Batch cooking is the preparation of large meals then freezing them in entirety for later use. Lastly, you can make individual portioned meals. These meals are stored in appropriate containers so that they are easy to grab and go when needed. This last method is very popular among people who live busy lives and are typically on the go. The first thing a person needs to do when meal prepping is choose the meal prepping method they will practice. Next, recipes need to be chosen for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts. This needs to be done with careful consideration so that balanced nutrition is provided every day of the week as well as to keep within the carbohydrate consumption limitation. After the recipes have been decided then you can determine the amount of each meal that will be prepared in advance.
  • 27. Benefits of Meal Prepping There are a variety of benefits to preparing your meals in advance and they include: Saving time. having your meals prepared in advance and ready to eat at the time that you need saves you time and you do not have to put in the daily expenditure in that department. Saving money . A shopping list can be prepared from determining the recipes to be prepared. This prevents repeat trips to the grocery store to pick up ingredients as well as the unnecessary buying of unneeded items. Saving energy. Meal prepping takes away the guesswork from meal preparation throughout the week so this saves mental energy. It also saves on physical energy by allows all or most meal preparation in one session rather than spread across every day. Disadvantages to Meal Prepping There is only one major downside to meal prepping and it only applies to a few people as it is about personal preferences. Some people believe that meal prepping is too restrictive because it entails eating the same food or the same type of dishes too many days in a row. However, monotony does not have to exist in meal preparation as you can use different dresses, condiments and spices to add different flavors to the same dish. Another method for avoiding monotony includes preparing several types of dishes that can be stored in the freezer so you can have variety throughout the week. Another minor disadvantage is that some people feel that the freshness of food is lost throughout the week. Due to a small number of disadvantages to meal prepping, most people feel that the benefits outweigh them and thus, they meal prep to gain the benefits discussed above. Rules of Effective Meal Prepping Use foods that last longer such as frozen vegetables, stiff, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, lean proteins and fresh, stiff veggies.
  • 28. When meal prepping for breakfast, ensure that your meal has plenty of protein and fiber. Soups and salads are great meal prep options for lunch because they are highly customizable and provide a great source of vegetables and lean protein. Meal prepping for dinner is a great way to get your daily recommend intake of vitamins and minerals from veggies. To ensure that meals last longer, ensure that you have appropriate storage such as freezer-safe plastic bags and airtight containers. Store meal prep meals at the appropriate temperature. Food that is stored in the food danger zone, which is between 40 degrees F and 140 degrees F, typically spoil faster and therefore, pose a risk for food poisoning. Therefore, your refrigerator should have an internal temperature of 40 degrees F or lower while your freezer should have an internal temperature of 0 degrees F or lower. Meal prepped food typically last for between 2 and 5 days in the refrigerator and much longer when frozen. To keep track of dates, place labels on storage containers. When reheating food, ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F to kill any possible bacteria grow. THE CUTTING-EDGE, ALL-NATURAL SOLUTION TO EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS.

  • 29. Chapter 5: Smoothie Recipes All the recipes in this section follow the same preparation steps: 1. Add all the ingredients into a blender 2. Blend for about 1 minute or until the desired consistency is achieved. 3. Serve immediately. 4. To meal prep ahead, store in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for up to 10 days. That’s it! For the best tasting smoothies, add the ingredients in this order: 1. Veggies and/or fruits 2. Powders such as protein powered or cocoa powder if using 3. Thickeners like chia seeds, flax seeds and nut butters 4. Liquid of choice like water, ice, milk, or juice. You can meal prep smoothies in one of two ways. The first method entails making the smoothies ahead of time then freeze the contents in freezer-safe plastic bags. With the second method, you place the ingredients in a freezer- safe plastic bag and make the smoothies at the time of consumption. Smoothies made ahead can be refrigerated for up to 3 days depending on: If frozen or fresh fruits were used. Frozen fruits can thaw out and make the smoothies more watery in texture and less favorable. Therefore, for longer-lasting smoothies, use fresh fruits. If green veggies were used. While these do not affect the flavor over time, they can make the smoothies turn into a brown or gray color, which is typically unappetizing. If thickeners like chia seeds were used. These cause smoothies to spoil faster so if you want your smoothies to last longer in the refrigerator, skip the thickeners. The second method for meal prepping smoothies allows for more longevity. It also allows you to enjoy better flavor and texture without giving up the ingredients you love. Avocado Berry Smoothie Prep Time: 1 minute / Cook Time: 0 minutes / Serves: 3
