Boost your energy & fat-burning metabolism with keto

Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to feel more energized, maintain a healthy weight, and protect yourself against lifestyle-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart failure?

Keto and the low carb lifestyle will help you to switch from sugar-burning to fat-burning.

The idea of keto is simple. If you limit your carbohydrate intake and get most of your calories from healthy fats, your body will switch to burning fat for fuel instead of glucose (sugar). This puts your body into a state of ‘ketosis’, meaning your liver produces ketones for energy.

Your most important source of fuel will no longer come from refined carbohydrates (such as white bread, white rice, wheat pasta, white potatoes, soda pop, cookies) but from an abundance of vegetables, quality protein, and healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, real butter, nuts and seeds, free-range eggs, wild-caught fish, and poultry.

This way of eating might seem ‘extreme’ but it’s basically the way our ancestors have been eating for thousands of years before the rise of industrial agriculture.

By replacing sugar and refined carbohydrates by more vegetables, slow carbohydrates (like beetroot, parsnip, sweet potato, berries…) and enough healthy fats, you’ll be able to keep your blood sugar level stable and most importantly, keep your insulin levels low. This way, your cravings for sweet snacks will eventually completely disappear.

Healthy plant-based fats can be found in olives and extra virgin olive oil, coconut and extra virgin coconut oil, MCT oil, nuts and seeds, and avocado.

Healthy animal-based fats include organic grass-fed butter, organic free-range eggs, krill oil, organic free-range poultry and small fatty fish such as sardines and anchovies.

Think of keto as a short-term reset to help your body to switch from sugar-burning to fat-burning. Doctors and dieticians often prescribe this for health reasons (for example to treat and reverse type 2 diabetes, to increase the effectiveness of cancer treatment, to control seizures in people with epilepsy) or to lose a lot of weight in the short term.

Would you like to maintain your good results in the long term, after keto?

I show you exactly how in our Food Freedom video program.

You will discover how to create long-lasting healthy habits that are easy to maintain and easy to combine with a busy schedule, a family to cook for, and a buzzing social life.

You’ll also discover what your personal body type and carbohydrate tolerance are, and how these affect your energy, digestion, and weight. This way, you’ll know which foods work best for your body so you can feel more energized, strengthen your immune system, and maintain a healthy weight without falling back into unhealthy habits or jo-jo dieting.

Are there ways to get into ketosis quicker?

Do you feel like having a glass of wine, a plate of French fries or a piece of freshly baked bread?

Take the time to enjoy each bite, without feeling guilty afterwards. It’s best not to think of food as ‘good’ or ‘bad’. You can pick up where you left at the next meal.

If you take the time to consciously savor each meal, your digestion will improve, your body will be better able to absorb the vitamins and minerals, and you will feel more satisfied in general.

There are also several ways to get back into ‘fat-burning mode’, even after a higher carb meal.

Three successful ways to get your body into ketosis quicker include:

• Pure C8 MCT oil
• Intermittent fasting
• Exercise, possibly on an empty stomach

You can read more about it in our books (currently only available in Dutch & partly in French) and Keto Made Easy eBook bundle (available in English).

MCT oil, short for Medium Chain Triglycerides, encourages your body to produce ketones and burn fat for fuel. Our ALL GOOD MCT oil is purely made from coconut.

Instead of slowly passing through your entire digestive system like long-chain fatty acids too, pure C8 MCT oil is quickly sent to your liver where it is almost immediately converted into energy. You can feel this effect within 30 minutes.

There are 4 types of MCT’s based on their length: C6, C8, C10 and C12. The most efficient one to burn fat for fuel is C8 MCT oil.

MCT oil is one of the best fuel sources to boost your brain power, burn fat and reduce your appetite.

Pure C8 MCT oil from coconut will help you to produce more ketones and beat sugar cravings.

It has a neutral flavor so you can add it to any meal. Use it in smoothies and shakes, brain fuel coffee or turmeric latte, chia pudding and other breakfast porridge, sauces and dressings, desserts, and with salads to replace olive oil.

C8 MCT oil also helps to ease into intermittent fasting.
