They say keto is just a fad.
They say keto is dangerous.
They say keto isn’t good for athletes.
They say a lot, as I’ve mentioned before, but rarely do they say things backed by personal experience or proper education on the topic.
Now, I’m not saying I know everything there is to know about ketosis because that’s impossible and even the leading researchers agree. I’m saying that aketo lifestyle patterns (diet, fitness, and mindset) is extremely beneficial for most of our healths, even life saving to some.
When you hear about people trying keto and either faking off the wagon or saying “it didn’t work for me”, it’s typically because they didn’t transition properly, they didn’t fully commit and track their intake, they rushed the process, they chronically trained with their heart rate too high, they were in a stressful time of their life, and so many other variables.
Folllwing a high fat / low carb diet for 4-5 years now since reading @davidperlmutter book “Grain Brain”, I’ve adapted to fat for fuel very well. That said, the transition to keto had a few attempts that went well and not so well. Once I read @marksissonprimal book “The Keto Reset Diet”, I sorted out why it didn’t go so well and actually transitioned extremely well without seeing losses in my BMX training or training at @athleticlab. Even my chiropractor @919spine follows a keto lifestyle 🙌🏼
I originally followed a high fat/ low carb diet for brain health and optimization, then I found out of its tumor/cancer affects and is one of the reasons the 2 new tumors I was diagnosed with in 2017 didn’t progress – without treatments or surgery. Just diet & lifestyle! 💯🙏🏼
