Get Healthy First

I really think we've had it backwards all along.  Most people think that if they lose weight they will suddenly be healthy.  The truth of the matter is that if you get healthy first then everything else will fall into place.  And it really is as simple as what you put in your mouth.

A lot of people do Keto for the rapid weight loss benefits it produces.  A ketogenic lifestyle is so much more than a weight loss diet.  It is fueling your body the correct way so it can function the way it is supposed to.  When our bodies function properly we are healthy.

For those who carry extra weight, following a ketogenic dietary plan will result in weight loss.  Your body begins to function in a way that allows it to burn fat.  All those fat stores are now being used for energy.  Your body stops storing fat and starts to use it up instead.  Thereby, you lose weight.

Our bodies are always seeking to run with efficiency.  When properly fueled they can do exactly that.  Organs do what they are designed to do, our immune system functions as it is meant to and we have energy and stamina to do the things we need and want to do.

Once you have followed the ketogenic lifestyle for a while your body will transform to the point that you feel better and look better.  You will get to a healthy weight and easily maintain it.  You will also likely notice you sleep better, think clearer, you can do more and you want to do more.  Health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes will in most cases resolve themselves. 

I notice a lot of the health issues that plagued my daily life have resolved themselves.  My clothes fit.  I do a lot more because I have so much more energy than I used to.  Stress levels are much more manageable, my mood is more consistent.  I have much fewer autoimmune issues.  Migraine headaches no longer dominate my life.  I feel like I used to 10 or 15 years ago.  Life got a whole lot better.  I am better.  Most importantly, I am healthy.
