Already on a Keto Diet? Read This!

If you have already committed to a Keto Diet, kudos to you. Really, I mean it. I'm in awe of people who have the discipline to adhere to a strict diet. My husband and I are not excessively overweight and never have been, but we go through periods where we think we need to diet to lose the excess that comes with working in an office (you know . . . sitting in a chair, on the computer or phone five days a week). Together we've done the South Beach diet, the Sonoma Diet, and dabbled a bit with the Atkins Diet. None have been sustainable because  . . . life happens, not to mention that we have a young son who is the pickiest eater the good Lord ever created.


So, basically, we start a diet with good intentions and then tend to abandon it when meal planning becomes too difficult. People I've talked with who have tried the Keto Diet say it's great - when they have successfully achieved putting their body into ketosis through diet, they feel great and notice significant weight/fat loss. But most also confide that it's a difficult diet to maintain. Those who do struggle are probably like me - want to commit but find the meal prep difficult to maintain the level of commitment necessary to achieve desired results.

Now are you ready for the good news? 

If you are already on the Keto Diet, the hard work is done. Drinking supplemental ketones aids the diet you have mastered and intensifies the results.

Why I love it? The answer is simple. To keep sanity in our crazy schedule, I started using Blue Apron, a meal service which provides everything needed to create a fantastic meal. I select the meals each week and a box is delivered that supplies all I need to create a nightly meal in about 30-40 minutes. I don't think about it. I don't have to make a quick run to the grocery store for that one ingredient I don't have but desperately need. I simply cook with simple instructions that guarantee success for each and every meal.

However, as great as the recipes are they at times can be carb heavy with breads, rice, or pasta.  By drinking ketones I've found I can eat what I want, within reason, and still achieve great results. The lifestyle simply works great for me and I hope it will for dedicated Keto dieters too.
