Publisher's Synopsis
Keto-adaptation is a slow and arduous process of weaning your body off of carbs and getting onto protein and fats as fuel sources. The human body is a wonderful machine that can use carbs, protein, and fats as energy with equal ease. The problem is that the body adapts to the diet we eat as kids and comes to enjoy and crave it whether it's healthy or not. So, if you've been eating cereal and drinking fizzy soda throughout your childhood, there's a good chance you'll become a lifelong consumer of those same products and brands simply because they bring you back to that time of innocence and enthusiasm. An abundance of refined carbs also tends to turn your body into breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria, leading to persistent infections. Keto-adaptation involves changing how you think, feel and act about and around food at the very core of your being. Rather than looking at processed carbs and their overwhelming sweetness as something that soothes and calms down, you will understand exactly what they do to your brain, mind, and heart, changing yourself from inside out and outside in.
