The keto diet is hugely popular, with good reason! Keto is short for ketosis, a state where your body burns fat for energy instead of glucose (sugar). Glucose is the body’s default fuel source. However, we are equally capable of using fat for fuel and given that many of us store more fat on our bodies than we’d like, keto offers an elegant solution. While the initial appeal is weight loss, keto boasts a host of other health benefits including: balancing blood sugar, addressing insulin resistance, reducing inflammation, shutting down cravings, boosting energy, and turning your brain back on – no more forgetting where you left your keys!
