Do you Need ENERGY? Do you Want ENERGY?

How a Ketogenic Lifestyle is the Secret to Sustained Energy.

Are you always tired?

Do you have spurts of energy and then you crash – like after you’ve taken an Energy Drink?

Do you always have snacks around so you don’t become the Food Monster?

If you can relate to any of the above, then you need to read further.

SAD (Standard American Diet)
The SAD often consists of high intakes of

Refined flours (white bread, white rice, pasta)

Added sugar

Lots of boxed foods(processed) that contain ingredients cooked up in a lab.

So when we eat a diet consisting of mainly carbohydrates the starches are converted to simple sugar molecules or glucose. Your body then absorbs the glucose and gives you a spurt of energy. Then there comes a crash so we automatically go eat some more carbs and sugars and get that extra burst of energy and then crash. This goes on and goes on and becomes a vicious cycle. And for every time we eat more to get that little burst of energy out bodies are storing all those extra calories as fat.

We are definitely not doing our bodies any favors. This increase in energy and crash affects our bodies in different ways. In most cases, if nothing else, you are left feeling sluggish and craving that energy in the form of carbs and sugar.

Ketogenic Diet  

Step into the world of a Ketogenic Diet. It consists of about 5-10% carbohydrates, 15-25% Protein and the balance in healthy fats. The average person on a SAD eats around 225 grams of carbs every day. A keto diet limits this to less than 50 grams a day.

This forces your body to stop burning glucose and switches to a “fat adapted” state where it is burning fat for fuel – Ketosis. So this helps to eliminate the rise of energy and the crash that follows. It gives you a consistent flow of energy as it burns fat for fuel.

The only thing I recommend is that you don’t go cold turkey on the carbs and sugar, this leads to the keto flu and it isn’t fun. So each day eliminate a few more carbs and sugars so that you don’t run the chance of getting the keto flu.

If you have a sweet tooth like I do, then you will want to buy almond flour, swerve and/or erythritol to bake with.

Part of our blog each week will be recipes for desserts, breakfast ideas, lunch and dinner. There is a lot of good food out there. Organic meats that don’t have all kinds of fillers or antibiotics or hormones given to them is the best way to buy healthy meats. I especially love Butcher Box. Their choice of meats is all organic and you can structure the program to fit your needs and your choice of meats. AND best of all it delivers right to your house. Before I started using Butcher Box the only organic meat that I would eat was wild game once in a while. Once you start eating organic you may never go back to the grocery store for meat. It has amazing flavor that store bought meats don’t seem to have.

If you should have any questions about a Keto Lifestyle, please feel free to contact us or comment on our blog. I love helping people feel BETTER.

Do you eat Organic?

Did you know that organic food has to meet very strict cultivation standards to carry an organic food label? In order to carry that label it must meet USDA National Organic Program certifications. https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/organic

Livestock must be allowed to live in an environment, which allows them to maintain good health and exhibit their natural behaviors all year. They are given access to outdoors all year round. They must be fed 100 percent organic; with the only exceptions being they are allowed vitamin and mineral supplementation to ensure their health. The use of antibiotics, supplemental growth hormones and animal byproducts in their feed is prohibited. Humane treatment of animals is also one of the most prominent reasons people eat organic.

Our Story Meet

Where can you find organic meat? Back in the day – families went to their local butcher shop for a selection of local meat. Now there are more and more grocery stores offering a small selection of organic meats. There are also companies such as Butcher Box that offer direct to your home shipping of organic meats. Grass-fed meat is becoming more and more readily available. Yes the price is a little higher, but the flavor and taste is exceptional. They deliver 100% grass-fed beef, free range organic chicken and heritage breed pork directly to your door. Think of them as the neighborhood butcher for modern America.

I love organic meat. A few years ago for Thanksgiving we had an organic turkey and it was probably the best turkey I’ve had in my adult life. So much flavor and all the bloatedness you get after eating Thanksgiving dinner wasn’t there that day. I highly recommend Butcher Box to anyone wanting to experience Organic Meat. The convenience of having it shipped right to my door is amazing. Come experience it with me.
