Keto Diet 101
Keto this and keto that. What does this new (and very popular) dietary craze mean? It’s high fat and ultra low carb. It tells your body to burn fat for fuel. Yes, it actually reprograms your body to burn fat.
Sounds good, doesn’t it?
Before you get too excited, I’ll tell you right now: It’s not for everyone. But it works for some people. Perhaps it’s something you’ve considered? I have some great info on the ketogenic diet in my latest post “Ketogenic Diet 101.” Oh, and yes, I have an amazingly delicious dessert recipe at the end.

Your reading this because you want to make a change. You have decided you need to make a change. You want to feel better and lose weight. Right? You've done the easy part. You've told yourself and decided you want to make a change.

They should be focusing on strength-endurance training. If you focus on strictly strength routines it won't hold up in the real work when you are doing real life activities. Sure you may look good but would you rather be able to lift a heavy object once or be able to do it multiple times?
