So...<\/p>\n How exactly do you get into ketosis? Simple!<\/p>\n All you have to do is eat the keto recipes in this brand new FREE cookbook called:<\/p>\n The Wicked Good Ketogenic Diet Cookbook<\/a> <=<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n A study by the Women\u2019s Health Initiative assigned women to low-fat diets for eight years.<\/p>\n They found the participants didn\u2019t seem to gain protection against breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n Their weights were generally the same as those of women following their usual diets.<\/p>\n And in the carb vs fat debate, an extensive 2017 study found no association between dietary fat and heart disease.<\/p>\n In fact, the researchers found that high-carb diets were linked to a higher risk of death.<\/p>\n So, if studies show that fat doesn\u2019t make us fat or increase our risk of heart disease\u2026 and carbs make us hungry and are linked to a higher risk of death, should we all just ditch carbs altogether?<\/p>\n Not necessarily.<\/p>\n The popular ketogenic diet is one that does have carbs but at only 5% of your daily calories.<\/p>\n The ratios are basically at 75% fat, 20% protein and only 5% carbs.<\/p>\n Like almost every other diet, Keto has a number of variations that can make it easier to adapt to depending on your lifestyle and goals.<\/p>\n The four main types of the Ketogenic Diet you may see are the Standard Ketogenic Diet, the High-Protein Ketogenic Diet, the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet, and the Targeted Ketogenic Diet.<\/p>\n So What Should You Eat?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n While the standard ketogenic diet is a very low carb\/high fat diet, there are different forms of keto (mentioned above) that may work better for you!<\/p>\nWhat Carbs Do To Your Body<\/h3>\n
