KETO, THE WEIGH-LOSS RAGE RIGHT NOW!

The Truth About Diets: What You Need to Know

There’s a lot of buzz about diets, but the reality is that most of them don’t work as a one-size-fits-all solution. The saying “you are what you eat” holds true, and by now, we all know what to avoid and what’s good for our bodies—in moderation. Success comes from finding the dietary restrictions that work specifically for YOU.

Today, I want to discuss the Keto diet, especially since so many people, particularly women, face challenges with it without fully understanding the hidden pitfalls and how to address them.

The Hidden Flaws of Keto

Many people who follow the Keto diet perfectly still experience issues like “keto flu,” fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalances, digestive problems, nausea, trouble sleeping, and even weight gain. One major reason for these symptoms is a condition I call “the tired liver.”

Your Overworked Liver

Keto is a low-carb, high-fat diet, which puts extra strain on your liver as it works to break down all that fat. Unfortunately, 1 in 3 people have tired, fatty livers, which struggle to process fat efficiently. Even without full-blown fatty liver disease, many people have livers that are overwhelmed by poor diets and toxins, leading to insufficient bile production needed to digest and absorb fat.

The Challenge for Women

Women, in particular, face additional challenges on Keto. Some common issues include lowered thyroid function, imbalanced sex hormones, and chronic fatigue. Long-term carb restriction can cause a drop in T3 thyroid hormone, leading to weight gain, brain fog, and low energy levels. Carbohydrates are also essential for hormone production, so long-term Keto can disrupt your sex and stress hormones. This hormonal imbalance is especially problematic for women, whose bodies are hormonally more complex than men’s.

Additionally, burning fat for fuel doesn’t work for everyone. In some cases, long-term carb restriction can stress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, making you feel tired all the time.

Modifying Keto for Better Results

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you don’t have to give up on Keto entirely. You can still reap the benefits with a few simple modifications:

1. Optimize Liver Function: Your liver needs to be in top shape to digest all that fat.
2. Consider Carb Cycling: Adding back some carbohydrates 1-2 times per week can help maintain hormonal balance.

Before you dive into Keto, it’s crucial to prepare your body, particularly your liver and digestive system, to handle the diet’s demands. Here’s how:

• Step 1: Start with an overnight liver cleanse to support fat digestion. Liver Cleanse
• Step 2: Perform a deep intestinal cleanse to optimize gut health. Intestinal Cleanse
• Step 3: Support a healthy gut microbiome with a good probiotic. Probiotic
• Step 4: Enhance fat metabolism and support detoxification with liver-supporting supplements. Chaya Leaf Powder

By following these steps, you’ll be better prepared to embark on a diet that supports your liver, kidneys, and overall excretory functions, setting the stage for natural weight loss and improved health.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “Your liver is also key to healthy hormonal balance. Because in addition to helping breakdown dietary fats, your liver metabolizes excess hormones. If it’s not working properly, you can build up excess toxic oestrogens that can cause symptoms like weight gain that can throw a wrench into a perfectly followed keto diet.

Knowing how to maintain a healthy, optimized liver is one of the best things you’ll ever do for your health. I can’t stress this enough.

Result: you will have less belly fat, balanced mood, and more energy.”
