Your body is an engine, carbs are fuel: limiting carbs forces your body to use an alternative fuel - stored fat

While adopting an eating style that lowers your calorie intake is critical to healthy weight loss, one process goal involves enjoying healthier foods through such practices as Keto.


To Dr. Sleiman, Keto is more of a lifestyle change than a diet. The body is an engine; carbs are the gas that makes it move. Limiting carbs makes the body turn to an alternative fuel – stored fat. So, sugars and “simple starches” like potatoes, white bread, and rice are all squeezed out; healthy fats and proteins like oils, meat, and eggs are embraced. Fat is burned; pounds come off.


Steady fueling also means more constant energy levels all day long, and less hunger and cravings. You can actually lose weight while feeling full.


Give Keto a try. You won't regret it.
