So, What is Ketosis? … and how does Keto//cos help?

What to expect on Keto-OS: • Weight loss • Fast & Sustained Energy • Reduced Brain Fog • Increased Brainpower • Increased Focus • Appetite Suppression • Assists in Abdominal Fat loss (love handles) • Strength Gain • Better Mood (stabilizing / enhancement) • Decrease in inflammation/stiffness & Joint Pain • Better Sleep – promotes healthy sleep cycle • Better Digestion & Gut health • Clear Skin

KETOSIS DEFINED

When your diet is depleted of carbs, your glycogen levels drop and you enter ketosis—a process in which your brain burns ketone bodies to avoid draining the protein stored in your muscles and instead uses energy from your fat stores.

Ketosis occurs in the body when a consistently low level of carbohydrates depletes liver glycogen and the body burns fatty acids for fuel, which create ketones as a byproduct. Ketones are a source of fuel, just as glucose is a source of fuel. Think of it as flipping a switch in your body to pure fat-burning-for-fuel mode.

Being in ketosis has a positive effect on hormone regulation — namely blood sugar regulation. Now imagine a person who is avoiding carbohydrates, keeping protein to moderate levels, and getting adequate levels of fat.  Assuming they’re eating quality fat, veggies, and well sourced protein they’re getting all the micronutrients they need and they’re NOT starving (adequate caloric intake). They’re also experiencing the side benefit of very stable blood sugar levels.

Did you know inflammation is a major contributor to disease in the body. Help the body get rid of inflammation with Keto-OS.

When you have beta hydroxybutyrate in your blood, it means that you’re in fat burning mode.  It doesn’t matter if it’s nutritional ketosis or not – if there’s even a trace of beta hydroxybutyrate in your blood, it means you’re burning fat!  On top of that, you’re full of energy too.  Go figure – you can burn fat and have more energy.

In addition, there is also research showing the following conditions can be reversed or greatly improved on a keto diet:

Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome and Pre Diabetes: these conditions are directly related to the effects of chronically high blood sugar and insulin resulting in insulin resistance (IR). In addition, related conditions such as Fatty liver disease and PCOS are also caused by IR. Low carb, high fat diets have been used in studies to treat and reverse all of these IR conditions.

Heart disease: Cardiac risk factors improve when blood sugar and insulin levels are lowered via dietary changes. HDL cholesterol goes up on a low carb, high fat diet and triglycerides fall dramatically.  What causes heart disease?  It isn’t cholesterol or saturated fat consumption.

Autism: New research is showing that keto diets are helpful in the treatment of Autism. Neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons Disease and ALS: research is showing that ketone bodies exert a protective affect on the nervous system and slow the progression of nerve related diseases.

Mitochondrial support: Keto diets provide mitochondrial support and have been used to treat metabolic energy disorders such as glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) deficiency, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDHC), McArdle disease, and mitochondrial myopathies.

Aging is slowed: The ketogenic diet reduces inflammation, the main cause of the signs of the aging process.

Acid Reflux/GERD (heartburn): people who suffer from acid reflux or chronic heartburn will find great relief after adopting a keto diet, especially if all grain and fermentable carb sources (FODMAPS) are eliminated from the diet.

As you can now see, the ketogenic diet is not a “fad.”  It is a potent regulator of metabolic derangement, and when formulated and implemented correctly, it can be extremely effective for improving metabolic health.

Nutrition companies are careful in compliance to never mention diseases or disorders with their product.

The research for ketones exists: — Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Depression, Autism — do your own research and see for yourself.  Yes, the diet maximizes fat loss, but the health benefits of ketones, and the overall well-being I’ve experienced supersede any weight/fat loss.

Endogenous ketones are naturally produced in your body while in ketosis. We all wake in a mild state of ketosis, after fasting while asleep. We are built to be “dual fuel” beings, meaning we use both glucose and ketones for energy. Ketones are a more efficient energy, and do not require insulin to enter the cell (as glucose does).

Keto//OS is exogenous ketones: originating outside the body, they enhance the endogenous ketones and heighten the effects of ketosis — curbed appetite, mental clarity, remarkable energy, even euphoria.

Even if you don’t follow a ketogenic diet, you can still enjoy the benefits of ketones, now for the first time, through Keto//OS.

Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that a compound produced by the body when dieting or fasting can block a part of the immune system involved in several inflammatory disorders such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.

“Our results suggest that the endogenous metabolites like BHB that are produced during low-carb dieting, fasting, or high-intensity exercise can lower the NLRP3 ,” said Dixit.
