THE KETO DIET & WHY I LOVE BIOHACKING IT BY DRINKING KETONES

Alrighty- I am super pumped to chat about this today because I get a ton of messages daily asking about the keto diet and if I follow it to a T as well as what in the heck is the new awesome "bio-hacking" supplement I am drinking that is making me feel awesome again. So I thought I would share some thoughts and solid info with ya! 

 

Keto//OS (Ketone Operating System) is what I discovered about a year ago and started drinking almost a year ago- after hearing about it for about 2 years from my husband who kept saying " Molly- you would love this..." but me being SUPER STUBBORN waited until finally I caved haha! Really until finally I was tired of feeling like complete crap!

 

I knew that following a strict keto diet was hard! I have also done it many times and I LOVED how my body felt in ketosis so when I found out about keto/os ( also known as Keto Max and Keto Nat- the newest formulas) I had to give it a try!

 

Almost a year in how and oh my gosh I feel like a new woman! In case you aren’t familiar with it pure therapeutic ketones by Pruvit- it is a powder you mix with water and ice and drink once (or twice) daily! It tastes delicious and it puts your body into a state of ketosis in under an hour by flooding your body with exogenous ketones. WOOHOO!!!!

 

The skinny is – you’re burning FAT rather than carbs. Good for fat loss? Heck yes! Good for your brain? Absolutely! And extremely safe.

But what’s even more amazing is how you FEEL!

 

Remember the Atkins Diet – high fat, low carb?

It’s a tough diet to follow, but one that works to shed weight quickly if you can endure the food restrictions.A similar diet is the Ketogenic Diet which is a high fat/moderate protein/low carb diet and there are plenty of restrictions. So what if you don’t want to follow a strict diet but you still want the benefits of being in ketosis?

 

This is where Keto Max and Keto Nat set themselves apart from every other supplement on the market!

 

* Fat loss with muscle preservation

* Sustained energy

* Increased focus

* Suppressed appetite

* Better mood

* Better sleep

* Muscle preservation

* Anti-aging, clearer skin

* Joint health

* Better athletic performance

 

All of those benefits are so AWESOME RIGHT?

 

When I learned about this I ditched my meal replacement shake, living off of protein bars and eating all wrong for this new way of living and feeling I was all in! It has been one of the best decision I have made in a long time and this is from a girl who drank a shake, supplementing with crazy stuff and thought she was doing it all right for almost 8 years!

 

I did eat a strict ketogenic diet for my first month or so and I do more of a cyclical keto diet now– and drinking ketones totally helped to really get my body into a deeper ketosis to burn even more fat, but now I do eat carbs and because of pure therapeutic ketones I can get there, stay there and reap the benefits! I tell people that I eat good “most of the time.” I have plenty of cheats and don’t gain weight back !!! To me that is PRICELESS!

 

Since making these changes and being on Keto, I have my energy back, my mood is lifted, my skin is clear, and I get a lot more done productivity wise than I ever have. My friends and family notice too which is so cool! Keto MAX and Keto NAT give me laser focus and keeps me feeling happy- yes happier than I normally am! 

 

I plan on drinking Keto/OS long term because it has so many health benefits aside from fat loss and gives me endurance for life in general and my workouts are just that much better which is a plus!

 

Prüvit’s KETO//OS (Ketone Operating System) is a proprietary formula which delivers exogenous ketones into your system and allows you to “Bio-hack” your own body to go into ketosis within 30 minutes.

Keto OS contains a patented formula of ketone mineral salts (BHB -Betahydroxybutyrate) and some of the formulas contain fat (MCT powder) that equals high energy fuel.

 

The recommended dose is to drink it once or twice per day, and I encourage this especially when you’re first starting.

Drink two a day until you reach your goal weight, then you can drop down to one a day to maintain which is what I did.

Ketones produce 38% more energy than glucose (carbs/sugar) and preserves muscle!

 

The brain absolutely loves ketones (the brain can only use either glucose or ketones for fuel), that’s why this product provides so many other health benefits aside from weight loss, such as mental focus, energy, and protection from Alzheimer’s.Normally, ketones are only produced in the body during periods of fasting, but when’s the last time you fasted?

 

Ketosis is our native state – when we were hunter-gatherers, we would go into ketosis and burn fat (instead of muscle) until we found our next meal. Were were made to live in and out of ketosis.

Babies are born in ketosis, and nursing babies stay in ketosis. Our bodies thrive going in and out of ketosis, it’s our N8tive state! The video up in the main menu shows it in a fun and simple way! This video rocks at explaining it! 

 

But think about it – when’s the last time you had to endure a prolonged period of fasting? Give up pizza or bread? Yea, never, let’s be real!

We are a carb-loving society for sure, and that’s why our waistlines have gotten out of control.

Metabolic syndrome is projected to surpass cigarette smoking as the leading factor for heart disease. Obesity and lack of activity are to blame.

We, as a population (me included) love all the carbs that are so abundant.

We will never go into a state of ketosis naturally unless we follow an extremely strict ketogenic diet and even then it can take weeks to get there.

The long of the short is, drinking exogenous ketones once or twice per day allows your body to safely go into ketosis and burn fat for fuel without having to follow a strict diet. #winwin

 

 

Many people ask me how to take Keto MAX or Keto NAT and this is my recommendation:

 

* Drink Ketones and a new diet will follow naturally – because you won’t be as hungry and your carb cravings will be reduced! It becomes much easier to eat smaller, healthier meals. ( this i noticed within the first couple days and it was such a great feeling)

 

The folks at Pruvit recommend a low carb or keto diet ( or what I call a keto-ish diet :) for optimal results (low carb/high fat), but you don’t have to follow this diet to experience benefits from drinking Ketones. 

 

YES!

At the very least, try to eat low carb – continuing to eat a high sugar and carb diet is not going to help you stay in ketosis.

If you’re following a ketogenic diet already and have trouble getting into or staying in ketosis – drinking Ketones can help you stay there.

If you want to cheat with carbs now and then, you will stay in ketosis if you’re drinking Ketones. In other words, live a little while staying on track which is exactly what I do! Drinking a serving of Keto OS prior to a high carb meal will help with insulin resistance, the carbs won’t affect you as much. 

 

I hope this helps you and like I said- please ask me for more info if you want it! No pressure to drink ketones but it has and continues to help me FEEL BETTER than I have in YEARS- and this is from a girl who thought she felt great already! This BETTER feeling is an incredible blessing which is why I have to share it with those I know and care about!
