If you're overweight and not feeling your best you've probably been thinking about how you can change your bad habits. It may not be easy, but taking the step forward to overcome your unhealthy habits is an excellent decision. The keto diet, which focuses on eating fewer carbs and more protein and fat is one way to reach your health and weight loss goals.

If you're just beginning to learn about the keto diet, the Body Reboot book elaborates more on this effective diet. By going on a low carb diet not only will you be ditching the carbs, but you'll be improving your appetite, metabolic syndrome and potentially treating countless other diseases (according to studies).

Since the year 2002, over 20 human studies have been conducted on low-carb diets.

In almost every one of those studies, low-carb diets come out ahead of the diets they are compared to.

Not only does low-carb cause more weight loss, it also leads to major improvements in most risk factors… including cholesterol.

Low-Carb Diets Kill Your Appetite (in a Good Way)
Hunger is the single worst side effect of dieting.

It is one of the main reasons why many people feel miserable and eventually give up on their diets.

One of the best things about eating low-carb is that it leads to an automatic reduction in appetite.

Low-Carb Diets Are The Most Effective Treatment Known Against Metabolic Syndrome
The metabolic syndrome is a medical condition that is highly associated with the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

It is actually a collection of symptoms:

Abdominal obesity
Elevated blood pressure
Elevated fasting blood sugar levels
High triglycerides
Low HDL levels
The good news is… all five symptoms improve dramatically on a low-carb diet

Triglycerides Tend to Go Way Down
Triglycerides are fat molecules.

It is well known that fasting triglycerides, how much we have of them in the blood after an overnight fast, are a strong heart disease risk factor.

Perhaps counter intuitively, the main driver of elevated triglycerides is carbohydrate consumption, especially the simple sugar fructose .

When people cut carbs, they tend to have a very dramatic reduction in blood triglycerides.

Compare this to low-fat diets, which can cause triglycerides to go up in many cases.

Reduced Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels, With a Major Improvement in Type 2 Diabetes
When we eat carbs, they are broken down into simple sugars (mostly glucose) in the digestive tract.

From there, they enter the bloodstream and elevate blood sugar levels.

Because high blood sugars are toxic, the body responds with a hormone called insulin, which tells the cells to bring the glucose into the cells and to start burning or storing it.

For people who are healthy, the quick insulin response tends to minimize the blood sugar “spike” in order to prevent it from harming us.

However… many, many people have major problems with this system. They have what is called insulin resistance, which means that the cells don't “see” the insulin and therefore it is harder for the body to bring the blood sugar into the cells.

This can lead to a disease called type 2 diabetes, when the body fails to secrete enough insulin to lower the blood sugar after meals. This disease is very common today, afflicting about 300 million people worldwide.

There is actually a very simple solution to this problem… by cutting carbohydrates, you remove the need for all of that insulin. Both blood sugars and insulin go way down.

So as you can see there are many, many health benefits to being on a low carb diet. It's pretty incredible that over 20 human studies have been conducted on low-carb diets and almost on every study they have come out ahead of the others! Plus, besides the therapeutic benefits of ketones, dieters are falling for keto because it helps them feel better both mentally and physically.

A ketogenic diet can help us feel better both mentally and physically, and that's not all!
