There is no question that going keto really works. This strict high-fat/low-carb diet denies the body glucose as a main source of energy and instead promotes the production and use of ketone bodies as fuel. It's a great way to move you off a weight plateau, gain willpower, and get results fast. But going keto also often results in gastrointestinal discomfort, low energy, and moodiness-known as the "keto flu"-which makes the diet and its proven results hard to sustain.
The solution? Add alkaline foods-leafy greens, other vegetables, broths, healthy oils, nuts, and seeds-to your plate for a lifestyle that's more sustainable and easier on your body. In other words: Go Keto-Green and thrive!
A triple-board-certified physician, Dr. Anna Cabeca developed her method through years of careful patient and test-panel research. In Keto-Green 16, she explains the science behind her innovation: Hormone production dips as a woman ages, leading to increased visceral fat. By pairing keto-diet staples with foods that bring the body's pH to a more alkaline level, you'll shed belly fat while balancing the hormones responsible for that bulkier midsection in the first place. And by fueling your brain with ketones-like rocket fuel instead of gasoline-you'll make better decisions, including healthier choices for what to eat. An added bonus: The unique nutritional balance of the Keto-Green 16 diet also boosts mood.
With 16 days of what-to-eat instructions (including a version for vegetarians and vegans); more than 50 delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack recipes; information about the 16 best alkaline foods; a 16-hour intermittent-fasting strategy; 16-minute HIIT exercise routines; and a chapter outlining the specifics of the nutritional plan just for men; Keto-Green 16 will ensure that you skip the flu and get on with rapid and amazing weight loss.
