If you know me, you will know that I support the LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) way of eating, otherwise called the Keto diet or Banting diet. This way of eating has grown in popularity, although there are many people who do not believe that LCHF is sustainable. We are all entitled to our own opinions, but I can say that I find it doable and I do not get hungry when eating good, clean, healthy food, while at the same time experiencing more energy.
Now don’t just believe me when I tell you there are many benefits to this way of eating!
Believe the research which has been proven.
But believe me when I saw I feel great when doing Keto/Banting.
Here are some of the things you’ll experience when following a banting eating plan:
- Burning Fat Fast.
- Supercharged Energy.
- Increased Mental Clarity.
- Better Sleep.
- Clearer Skin.
Now who wouldn’t want to improve health, lose weight and feel great?
