INTRODUCTION
While it may seem like a strange idea, to lose fat, eat more fat, people are beginning to awaken to the idea that it is carbs (mostly processed carbs and sugar) that are the actual cause of rising health problems around the world (such as type 2 diabetes). In recent years, studies have shown that the benefits of a Ketogenic Diet include: Accelerated fat loss Lower cholesterol Lower blood sugar Increased energy levels and vitality Improved mental focus (ketogenic diets were initially used for epilepsy)
If you follow a Ketogenic Diet then you will experience the health benefits. However, for some (if not most), the initial excitement fades as you eat the same burger with no bun for the third time this week; become tired of constantly looking at food labels; feel awkward in social situations just wanting to eat something normal for a change or the whole diet just becomes tiresome as you have to eat exactly 1981 calories every day, of which 394 must come from Wagyu Beef. I want to provide you with not just another diet which you must follow religiously, otherwise it will not work, but a diet where the principles are a sound method of adapting the diet to your lifestyle and not the other way around. Yes, it will still require work, dedication, and label reading (in the beginning at least), but once you have the knowledge and experience, youll progress from beginner to master and you can begin to adapt the Ketogenic Diet to how you live your life.
This is what the guide promises to give you. The 100 recipes will keep you from bland food and boredom. None of the recipes are gourmet and they dont require ingredients from a remote village in South America or liquid nitrogen for preparation. The recipes are intended to be everyday; easy to find ingredients; easy to prepare (less than 25 minutes) but still tasty. All the recipes include detailed nutritional information (to save you from looking at all the labels). I also realize starting a diet can be hard.
Procrastination is often a killer to many health goals. As a bonus, I created the Quick Start Guide and 7 Day Meal Planner. This is so you can read the short guide and start your diet today! More on this in the next chapter. Once again, thank you for buying this book, and I hope you will give me the privilege of helping you create your own sustainable lifestyle on the Ketogenic Diet.

PART IKETOGENIC DIET OVERVIEW
WHAT IS A KETOGENIC DIET?
Our bodys metabolism has evolved much less quickly than modern technology.
In the past, we had to hunt for our meals and we would often go without food for days or weeks at a time. As a result, our bodies stored as much of its energy reserves as possible for when it was needed. The body became extremely efficient at taking any excess energy (from food) and storing it for later (as fat). When food became scarce, the body would switch from using food as its main source of energy to the fat reserves. However, in modern life, food is far more plentiful but excess energy is still be stored as fat. Modern life has exacerbated this by producing foods rich in carbohydrates (which are utilized more quickly by the body), and lowering the need for physical activity, hence excess energy (more calories are consumed than expended) is more abundant and consequently more energy is stored (usually as fat).
The concept of the ketogenic diet is that it takes advantage of your bodys natural system that uses fat for fuel. By switching to a low carbohydrate diet, your body adapts unable to utilize the readily available source of carbohydrate that was once available to it. Instead, it begins to use both existing and new stores of fat as its energy source. This is known as a state of
