The ketogenic diet, or keto, has become very popular for weight loss and health. It involves eating very few carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein, and a lot of fat. This way of eating pushes your body into a state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body burns fat for energy instead of sugar (glucose). It sounds simple, but many people make mistakes that stop them from getting the results they want. Sometimes, these mistakes can even make them feel unwell. As someone who works with people on their fitness and weight loss journeys, especially women, I see these common slip-ups […]

You hear a lot about different ways to lose weight. Two things people talk about a lot are the Keto diet and Apple Cider Vinegar, or ACV for short. Lately, I’ve noticed more and more talk about using them together. People seem really excited about this combination for helping with weight loss goals. It sounds like a powerful team. But does putting Keto and ACV together really work better than using them alone. Let’s dive in and see what the buzz is all about. I want to break down what each one does and why people think they might be

You hear a lot about different ways to get a flatter stomach. One term that pops up sometimes is the “keto cleanse”. It sounds like a quick fix, maybe combining the popular keto diet with the idea of a cleanse. But what does it really mean? Is it something that actually works and is safe, or is it just another diet trend making big promises? As someone who spends a lot of time looking into nutrition and fitness, especially for women, I wanted to dig into this idea. Let’s be clear, “keto cleanse” isn’t an official medical or nutritional term.

Many people I work with are looking for effective ways to lose weight, particularly fat, while holding onto or even building muscle. It’s a common goal, especially for women who often worry about losing muscle mass during weight loss efforts.

When used together correctly, they can create a powerful combination for achieving body composition goals. Let’s explore how this pairing works. Understanding the Ketogenic Diet The ketogenic diet, or keto for short, is a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat way of eating. The main

You’ve probably heard a lot about the keto diet. It’s a way of eating that’s very low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein, and high in healthy fats. When you eat this way, your body can switch from using sugar (from carbs) for energy to using fat for energy. This state is called ketosis, and it’s often linked to weight loss. But maybe you’re wondering if just eating keto foods is enough. Does it matter when you eat those foods? I get asked this question a lot. People want to know if timing their keto meals can help them lose weight

As someone who helps people, especially women, navigate their weight loss journeys, I want to clear things up. We’ll look at what the keto diet really is, separate the myths from the facts, and even explore some practical meal ideas if you’re considering trying it. Understanding nutrition and

The ketogenic diet, or keto as most people call it, has become really popular for weight loss. Many women I work with have found success cutting down carbs and focusing on fats and proteins. It can feel great at first. You might see the scale move, feel less bloated, and have more steady energy. But then, sometimes, things slow down. Weight loss might stall, or maybe you just don’t feel as good as you did initially. One area I often explore with my clients is their relationship with keto-friendly treats and desserts. It sounds wonderful, right? Desserts that fit your

Lots of people trying to lose weight ask me about popular diets. Two names that come up all the time are Keto and Paleo. Both have helped people shed pounds, but they work in different ways and have different rules. It can be confusing trying to figure out which one might be a better fit for you, especially if you’re a woman dealing with specific health goals or body changes. So, let’s dive in. I want to break down what each diet is, how it might help with weight loss, and compare them side-by-side. My goal is to give you

Weekends are supposed to be relaxing. After a long week, the last thing many of us want to do is spend hours in the kitchen meticulously tracking every single gram of food. But if you’re following a ketogenic lifestyle for weight loss or health benefits, weekends can sometimes feel like a challenge. How do you stay on track without feeling deprived or overwhelmed. That’s where “lazy keto” comes in. It’s a simpler, more relaxed approach to the low-carb, high-fat way of eating, perfect for those laid-back Saturdays and Sundays.

Well, I’m here today to talk about a big misunderstanding surrounding Keto. It’s a “myth” that trips a lot of people up.

Okay, let’s dive into how combining a ketogenic way of eating with strength training might help you build muscle and burn fat, maybe even at the same time. It sounds like the ultimate goal, right? Losing fat while getting stronger and building lean muscle. Many people think you have to pick one – either focus on losing weight or focus on building muscle. But what if there was a way to nudge your body towards doing both? For many women I work with, the idea of getting stronger without getting bulky, while also shedding some body fat, is really appealing.

Okay, let’s talk about weight loss and low-carb eating. The ketogenic diet, or keto, gets a lot of attention. You hear about people dropping pounds by cutting carbs way, way down and eating lots of fat. It works for some people, definitely. But let’s be real, keto is tough. It’s super strict, cutting out entire food groups like fruits, grains, and many vegetables. For lots of us, especially women juggling busy lives, sticking to keto long-term feels almost impossible. Plus, some people just don’t feel great on keto – think keto flu, digestive issues, or just missing their favorite healthy
