You are not a failure!

Maybe you are new to the ketogenic diet and lifestyle, you probably have a long list of failed diets behind you.

So you might think: here is another fad diet, another one that will not work…

That is because so many other diets have failed you!

You did not fail, they failed YOU!

First because they were unsustainable in many different ways: you were always hungry, tired, frustrated…that is why you ended up falling off the wagon.

Second and most important: THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR YOU!

Is keto for me?

Let em ask you 3 simple questions:

1) Do you ever crave sugar?

2) Do you have energy up and downs throughout the day?

3) Do you get very hungry if you skip a meal?

If you said yes to at least 2 of these 3 questions you are a good candidate for a ketogenic diet.

Keto means to never feel deprived.

Once you are eating the keto way, you can kiss the hunger goodbye! And the cravings! And the mid-day slump!

But the best part yet…

You will be able to eat your favorite foods…just with a few modifications. They will still taste great and keep you satiated and happy!

This Keto and Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes recipe is a great example. Make it for your family and they will not even notice that it’s a “health food”!
