Hey valued readers, thought I’d start dropping some weekly info on you about Keto and how it can transform your mind, body, and soul! Please take time to “share” & “Like” the information if you found it of value, “thanks in advance!”
OK, for those who don’t know, the keto diet is a high-fat, very low-carb way of losing weight quickly. It may also help control blood sugar levels and lower insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetics.
A keto diet tricks your body into burning fat instead of relying on glucose for energy.
