Ahhhh . . . So This Is How It Works

To use one of the oldest cliches, no one snowflake is like another.  The same goes for people drinking ketones. Some will do well with little-to-no side effects. These usually are the super committed who voluntarily restrict carb intake and drink tons of water.  Age and hormone level could also be huge factors.

The beauty of KETO//OS and KETO//OS Max is that it is a powder which, when mixed with water, provides the necessary ingredients to jump start the ketosis process.  Let's face it, unless you are in the medical field, in a professional sport, or are a personal trainer, you probably don't know much about ketones.  I didn't. To me it sounded like just another fad. But here's what I discovered . . .  it's really not a weight-loss diet - it's a fat reducing, lifestyle diet.

KETO//OS basically means "keytone operating system." The product is an exogenous ketone supplement which provides many benefits: enhanced athletic performance, better weight loss, cancer prevention, cognitive improvement. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties. 

A serving of ketones rapidly puts the body into a state of ketosis which burns fat. Achieving ketosis through restricting certain foods and increasing intensity and frequency of workouts is extremely hard for the average person. Drinking ketones basically hacks the body's biochemistry into a state that continually burns fat, hence the fat loss.

Here . . . watch this . . . it explains the basics much better than I can:



I wish I had learned more about ketones before I began taking the supplement. Had I done so, perhaps my experience with the side effects of putting my body into a state of ketosis would have been less. However, I have to admit that although at times unpleasant, none of the side effects were unbearable.

While I didn't experience any headaches, at times I felt light-headed and foggy.  In the first few weeks, at times I felt extremely fatigued. The worst side effects happened in the bathroom. I went from being super constipated one week to having extremely loose bowels the next which led to a queasy stomach. 

Here's what I should have done that I simply didn't.  I should have visited the Pruvit website and viewed the short videos which explain what ketones are, how they work, and gives tips for avoiding negative side effects. Basically, if you experience side effects, take half a serving for a week or so to give the body time to ease into the state of ketosis.

But here's the good news, as my body adjusted to being in a state of ketosis, my diet did as well.  For instance, I used to be a huge coffee and tea drinker. That's gone now. I have no desire to drink anything but water and tons of it.  And man did I love my carbs: bread, pasta, and rice mainly.  Not anymore.  My carb cravings are completely gone. 

May's results - 9 pounds lost and tons of energy. I can tell the adjustment period is almost over as the side effects have significantly decreased. Bonus!
