MODERN GIRL VS. MARILYN MONROE

Why, she was practically KETO before KETO was cool (or even heard of).

KETO for DUMMIES

Basically, Ketogenic diet is a very low-carb diet that turns your body into a fat-burning machine. You eat more protein and high-fat foods that induce your body into the state known as ketosis. Also, this diet will change your body from a sugar (glucose) burner to a fat burner. You’ll tend to eat more fats and less carbs. That’s it in a nutshell.

What is Ketosis

Ketosis a natural process of the body that helps us survive when food intake is low. During this state, we produce ketones from the breakdown of fats in the liver, which the body uses for energy.

Benefits of the Keto Diet

Turning your body into a fat burning machine is what it purports. It reduces blood sugar and insulin resistance which will fight those pesky carb cravings which, in turn, will help you not eat them, which in turn, will help you lose fat! The fat burning is vastly increased and insulin, the fat-storing hormone, levels drop and then, voila! You lose weight.

KETO Foods

KETO mean an almost complete removal of carbs from your daily eating routine. The focus is on eating moderate protein and a high-fat diet.
Berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries are allowed in small amounts. Also allowed are those creamy, dreamy avocados, which are great because they’re low carb and high in fat!

What Foods to Avoid on the Keto Diet

Start Slow

No, really. We mean start slow.
Don’t just dive in and think you can “cold turkey” it. It’s better if you go gradual. For example, this can be done by simply planning for the week. On Sunday, get all the food that you’ll need for the week and prepare and cook in advance to save you time on busy days. Also, stockpile keto-friendly snacks and items to grab so you won’t grab those chips.
