MORE THAN 100 LOW-CARB RECIPES THAT LET YOU STAY KETO FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER

Before I discovered low-carb eating, I followed what most people considered to be a healthy lifestyle. The general advice was to eat less, avoid dietary fats, and exercise more. So I did just that. But instead of improving my health, I developed thyroid issues and started gaining weight. And all this happened because I was following what I believed to be the right approach.

I couldnt understand what I was doing wrong until I learned that the general dietary recommendations are based on bad science. For decades weve been avoiding saturated fat and cholesterol for fear of increasing our risk of heart disease. Weve been told that eating five small meals a day is better for you than eating three regular meals. Weve been told that most of our daily energy intake should come from carbohydrates. So we replaced saturated fats with carbohydrates, and weve started eating breakfast cereals instead of eggs. We are now living in a world where carbohydrate and sugar consumption have reached new heights. That, in turn, has led to an obesity epidemic, plus an increase in diagnoses of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lipid problems, inflammation, and hypertension.

The truth is simple: Healthy eating doesnt have to be complicated, and you dont need to starve to lose weight. When you eat real food thats low in carbs, moderate in protein, and high in fat, you will achieve weight loss by balancing the hormones that control appetite and fat utilization (insulin, ghrelin, and leptin). You simply need to adopt a healthy lifestyle thats also sustainable, so that youll never feel like dieting and depriving yourself of tasty foods.

Thats why the ketogenic diet works so well for me. Its not just a diet, its a lifestyle. Unlike other dietary approaches, once you learn the basic principles, its easy to follow and its easy to stick with in the long term. You will enjoy the food because fat tastes good and will keep you fuller for longer.
