  • Slow metabolism? Here’s 5 possible reasons

    I’m not sure I buy into this but I don’t know for sure. I just know for myself when I start to gain a little weight and how to easily get back on track. You have been trying hard to follow a strict diet, spending hours in the gym, waking up too early and sleeping…

  • What is keto rash?

    Personally, I’ve never experienced keto rash but I empathize with those that contract it. Rashes are never pleasant. The good news is that it supposedly is easily treated.

  • For athletes, supplementing with ketones is different than simply being on the keto diet

    I didn’t think this was in dispute. I don’t recall reading anywhere claims being made that simply being on the keto diet will enhance athletes’ performance.

  • Health Reporter tries to debunk the Ketogenic Diet

    This health reporter is basically regurgitating what was written on the Harvard Health Publishing web site. The points brought up are the same points that are always brought up but the recent science that debunks the negatives of a Keto Diet are never explored, either in the article or in the Harvard posting. The keto…
