Let's Talk about Keto

Many people have heard about the keto diet but aren't exactly sure what it is. This diet uses the word keto as a short form of ketogenic. This means a phase in which the body is burning fat. If you want to get into fat-burning mode, the keto diet might be right for you. If you are interested in this diet and want to get nutrition counseling, come see Dr. Richard Bailey. To see our chiropractor, you can call us for our Danbury, CT, or Brookfield, CT, office to make your appointment for nutrition counseling or chiropractic care. We at Integrated Health & Wellness LLC are here to help.

Eating Low-Carb

The keto diet is a proven way to lose weight when it's done correctly. It helps the body to burn fat. This diet requires you to eat only a very small number of carbs each day, replacing the carbs with the right fats and proteins instead. When there aren't many carbs that come in, the body will go into ketosis, a specific metabolic state in which fat is burned for energy.

Other Health Benefits

When you lose fat, it can be better for the body overall, unless you are underweight. When you get rid of fat, you may have a lower risk of getting a number of diseases including certain cancers and heart disease. It can help you to have lower blood sugar as well as better levels of insulin. When you don't eat many carbs, there is less sugar available to your body. The body then uses fat as a substitute. The diet is heavy on fats while allowing only a small amount of carbs per day.
