21-Day Ketogenic Diet Weight Loss Challenge
Welcome to The 21-Day Keto Challenge! The ketogenic diet is more than just a “diet.” It is an extremely powerful and sustainable lifestyle that allows you to heal your body and work toward optimal health and wellness. It is a journey that requires commitment to learning, being open to change, and exploring new and unconventional ways of thinking and living. It begins as a challenge and turns into a normal way of life. When done correctly, a ketogenic protocol can contribute to easy and sustained weight loss and an overall increase in quality of life.
This 21-Day Keto Challenge targets weight loss while also taking a holistic approach to achieving lasting results by making changes to not only your diet, but also other key areas including sleep, mind-set, stress management, and exercise. Keto is a very
powerful tool for weight loss, but it is only one piece of the puzzle. In order to successfully lose weight and keep it off, you need to start evaluating other areas of your life that may be holding you back from achieving your goals. In this book, I provide you with the proper tools and effective strategies to jump-start your healthier lifestyle and become the best version of yourself.
We will discuss why the standard recommendations for diet and weight loss are flawed, and you will learn exactly how to develop a well-formulated ketogenic protocol based on your individual needs and goals. You will learn how to effectively lose body fat while at the same time healing your body from the inside out and feeling amazing in the process. There are so many benefits to keto, but one of the main ones is that you can lose weight and become healthier while still enjoying delicious and
satisfying food. The recipes provided in this book are easy to make, extremely flavorful, and easily adaptable to your preferences. One thing I hear often from my clients is, “I’m losing weight, I have so much energy, and the best part of it all is that I don’t feel like I’m on a diet!”
In addition to more than 100 keto-friendly recipes, there are easy-to-follow meal plans that include lots of grab-and-go options, make-ahead tips, streamlined shopping lists, and other helpful guidelines to make your transition to keto as easy as possible. You will find exercise routines and recommendations, goal-setting strategies, best practices for sleep and mind-set control, and tips for breaking bad habits. You’ll gain a better understanding of how to manage everyday stressors, and you’ll soon realize that making small changes along the way will lead to new, healthier habits and promote long-term results.
This challenge gives you the tools to jump-start your healthier lifestyle and provides tips and tricks that you can use during the 21 days and beyond. If at any time you feel overwhelmed or are having a difficult time with the transition, remember to take a step back and remind yourself why you started. Continue to embrace the positive changes you are making each day and realize that as long as you trust the process, you will succeed!
STOP BLAMING YOURSELF for gaining weight or not being able to lose it. Throw everything you’ve learned about “healthy whole grains” and “heart-healthy” labels out the window. It’s time to set the record straight and truly learn what a healthy, sustainable, and easy approach to weight loss entails.
In these next few chapters, you will learn why weight loss is not all about calories in, calories out; how a diet based on traditional dietary guidelines is flawed; and why eating fat does not have anything to do with “gaining fat.” You will learn the proper way to fuel your body to become a “fat-burner” rather than a “sugar burner,” and you’ll do all this while still enjoying foods that are filling, satisfying, delicious, and easy to prepare. After just 21 days, you’ll have learned the foundations of a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic lifestyle and understand why it is not only maintainable, but also extremely enjoyable.
