Publisher's Synopsis
According to recent statistics, the number of Americans suffering from various chronic diseases, such as diabetes and obesity, are rapidly on the rise. It is a sad yet undeniable fact that the people of the United States are slowly getting deviated from having a proper and healthy diet due to their busy schedules and the rampant rise of so-called "fast-food" joints. These junk foods seem to be a very easy alternative for individuals to simply take a break from their busy schedule and grab a meal quickly to satisfy their hunger completely. However, little do they realize that these foods are completely hollow when it comes to nutritional value and that they are slowly destroying the body in the long run. What might be the solution to such an ongoing endemic then? The first step is to start following a proper diet. While there are hundreds of different diets available right now, very few have been able to garner the level of success and effectiveness than that of a ketogenic diet. With more than 20 different studies worldwide supporting and proving the efficacy of ketogenic diet in terms of losing weight and staying healthy, it's hard to argue against the end results of such a diet. To give you a summary, the core objective of a ketogenic diet is to tone down the number of carbohydrates you take in, leading your body to a status known as "ketosis." During ketosis, a chemical known as "ketones" are released that influences your body to start using fat instead of carbohydrate to gain energy for day-to-day activities. This tends to increase the rate at which your body starts to burn fat exponentially. In case you are wondering, you won't have to stop enjoying your favorite foods. The dietary restrictions in this diet are much more welcoming to newcomers than to other similar diets. Ultimately, the only goal is to keep your daily carb intake somewhere around 20 to 100 grams and you are good to go. You may be wondering about what role does a Crock-Pot play in all of this? Assuming that you have decided to go all-in with the ketogenic diet, you want to make sure that you don't sacrifice delicious meals when following the diet. Combing the versatile nature of a Crock-Pot, which is the brand name for a line of slow cookers, with the flexibility of the ketogenic diet creates a harmonious relationship that leads to absolutely mouth-watering and juicy recipes that won't break your keto streak. While meals prepared a Crock-Pot might take some time, the results are almost always worth it as you will be getting the most succulent and finger-licking ketogenic allowable meals ever created.
