I'm usually pretty skeptical when it comes to new diet trends. 

I've been working out and eating right very consistently for the past 27 years, and I've seen a lot of fads come and go, to say the least! 

Right now, there's a lot of talk about the keto diet. Several friends and family members are doing it in the new year. So I looked into it and did a little research. 

Here's my conclusions so far:

-- The keto diet can potentially provide some health benefits
-- The keto diet allows you to eat foods that you may enjoy
-- The keto diet can help you drop some of the extra pounds

Combine keto with kettlebells, and now you're really taking things to the next level!

Now to be clear, I'm not convinced that it's necessarily BETTER than other methods out there... however if it sounds appealing to you and it will be an improvement in your eating habits in general, I think it's fine and worth giving a try!

One thing I recommend though is that you have a complete, concise plan going in. That's why I recommend the 28 day keto challenge linked below: 

-> 28 Day Keto Challenge 

This program will give you a complete, step-by-step plan of exactly what to do. A big reason I see people fail is lack of planning, and this course will give you:

-- Diet basics
-- Meal plans
-- Tips for curbing cravings
-- How to measure and stay in ketosis
-- How to calculate your macros
-- Beating the keto flu
-- How to incorporate intermittent fasting with keto
-- How to deal with social situations on keto

...and much more!

The keto diet can be a way to jumpstart your weight loss journey. If you're thinking of trying it, having a plan is crucial for success, so I highly recommend checking this out:
