Our health is one of the most important things we have in life, and for many, keeping off extra pounds and fat is a challenge. There are numerous diets and fads available for everyone to try, but most people fail to achieve their desired weight. Those who have some success often put the weight right back on after the diet has ended. That’s not the case with those who have accepted the keto diet as a lifestyle.

The keto diet is certainly not a fad. It’s a scientifically developed and proven system for losing weight and unwanted body fat. Anyone can be successful on this diet, and by adopting a lifelong approach to healthy eating, they can maintain their body weight and keep off extra, unwanted fat. While it may sound complicated, it is really a simple concept that, when followed as shown, will result in remarkable and rapid results.

In this book, Mark Butts describes his weight loss journey with the keto diet and shares some of the secrets he has learned from taking it from a diet to an actual lifestyle. He explains exactly what the keto diet is about and why those who follow its simple guidance are happy and successful with their weight loss efforts. Not only does he share the scientific origins of the keto diet, but he also describes the condition known as ketosis and why it plays an important role in losing weight and shedding unwanted fat. He examines the three main macronutrients found in our diets and explains the importance of keeping a balanced level of each. He goes on to talk about which foods are important in maintaining ketosis and which ones will sabotage an otherwise successful keto diet plan.

Finally, Mark will share a concept that can supercharge a person’s weight loss and dramatically increase the speed at which the body sheds weight. Known as intermittent fasting, he goes on to explain why fasting works and how you can fast successfully and safely. He looks at the various types of intermittent fasting and explains the pros and cons of each, allowing you to select which will work best for you.

The keto diet is quickly becoming the most impactful weight loss concept in modern times. Through following simple guidelines and maintaining the proper levels of macronutrients, even someone who has failed with multiple diet plans in the past can be successful and have amazing results!
