Welcome to my first blog! What a stupid word.
My name is Mike, and I'm currently way too fucking heavy. I plan on changing that, and this will be my progressive testament.
I am starting my weight loss journey by inducting myself into a strict ketogenic diet. This diet is very simple to follow, and scientifically proven to work wonders. In essence, it is a high fat, low carb mechanism that you may remember as Atkins (but without the negative connotations.)
"So Mike, does keto actually work? I heard it's bad for your heart/cholesterol/liver/insulin/whatever?" Good question, internet user. Keto is derived from the diets of our long lost ancestors, who were forced to acquire most of their caloric intake from animal fat. By eliminating all forms of starch and sugar, the body is forced to burn fat stores from the "squishy parts" of the human body. This is due to the lack of an insulin response in the bloodstream.
