Here are 9 Celebrities Who Kick Butt With Keto!

Lights, Cameras, ACTION!

As many of you know, the ketogenic diet is one of the most famous diets around.

Today, I thought it would be interesting to share with you 9 celebrities that eat in the same format as you and I!

#1. Halle Berry

The beautiful actress has been quoted saying “Keto is a very low-carb food plan which actually forces your body to burn fat like crazy. I also believe it’s been largely responsible for slowing down my aging process. The keto lifestyle offers so many benefits such as weight loss, (moms that’s how we get rid of our baby bellies), appetite control, more energy and better mental performance. If you’re like me, you can possibly reverse type 2 diabetes, you’ll experience better physical endurance, better skin and also less acne if that’s an issue. And it even helps control migraines!”

#2. Tim Tebow

The mega-athlete revealed to GQ in 2017: “I’m on something called a ketogenic diet which is high fat, moderate protein, low carb, low sugar. So I have to take in a lot of fat, and the number one fat comes from avocados. It’s incredible. It’s a superfood. And even if that’s not your diet, it’s incredible food for you.”

#3. Vanessa Hudgens

Gone are the days of this High School Musical star eating cafeteria food.

She said to People in April: “If you have the right ingredients to keep you on track, I think it’s amazing. People a lot of times think of fats in diets as a negative thing, and when you’re doing keto it’s a very positive thing. I’m always making sure I’m getting those healthy fats in, so I eat a LOT of almond butter. You feel really energetic and supported on the keto diet.”

#4. Vinny Guadagnino

Aka the “Keto Guido.” Many remember Vinny from his days on the TV show “Jersey Shore.”

“When I ate sugars and grains I was 50lbs heavier and looked 10 years older. I look around and feel sad and angry for the majority of the population who are overweight and obese that have been taught to eat grains, use “healthy” margarines and oils, drink diet soda with artificial sweeteners, and stay away from saturated fats.

#5. Kourtney Kardashian

“My body never looked better than when I did the keto diet two and half years ago, when I did it for two months. In my experience, I’ve found the best method to train my body to curb sugar cravings, burn fat, and kick-start weight loss is by sticking to a keto diet……I had a really positive experience the last time around and wanted to restart my routine this summer. It’s definitely a more restrictive eating plan, but I found that once I knew the ground rules, I was very strict and really stuck to it. My plan this time is to eat minimal carbs and no grains, beans, or legumes. I’m focusing my meals on fresh vegetables and lean proteins. I eat three meals a day with no snacking in between if possible.”

#6. Alicia Vikander

Also know as Laura Croft in her kick butt role in “Tomb Raider“. Vikander achieved that shape by exercising up to seven days a week and, you guessed it, the keto diet.

In an interview with PopSugar, Alicia’s “Tomb Raider” trainer, Magnus Lygdback, was quoted saying “It was a high-fat, no-carb diet — not even low-carb…. It’s always tricky the first couple of days, but [Alicia’s] willpower is just unbelievable, and she didn’t complain, even though I could see she was struggling a little bit. She kept on bringing it every day.”

#7. Mama June aka June Shannon

Best known for her role on “Honey Booboo.” The actress made headlines when she lost 300 pounds using a combination of gastric sleeve surgery and the keto diet.

“It’s not that bad, it’s like cheese, eggs, protein, meat, and you honestly lose weight with that. That’s what I’ve been going back to and it actually really works.”

#8. Al Roker

The familiar face from TODAY, the anchorman opened up with his experience on the keto diet back in January, explaining he’s seen “great” improvement with his blood pressure and cholesterol.

“There’s science on both sides that says it’s not a great idea and science that says it is a great idea. I think it’s up to people, with their doctor, with their medical professional (to make their own decision).”

#9. Jenna Jameson

Jameson, an adult film actress, has expressed nothing but love for the Keto diet via her Instagram. Jameson attributes keto to how she lost 80 pounds after giving birth to daughter Batel.

“I have absolutely never felt better! she shared on Instagram in May. “Combining #sobriety, the keto lifestyle and intermittent fasting is the perfect trifecta for me when it comes to a healthy sustainable fitness journey.”

Snack That With No Setbacks!

Ladies and gentlemen, as many of us know all too well, one of the most difficult parts of staying in ketosis is during those long hours in between meals.

When I first started out on my keto journey, I would have all my meals planned out for the day. I would kick start the day with a keto awesomeness breakfast, then continue on with a keto champion lunch….then bang!

What happened?!

3pm would roll around, and I would feel myself getting very hungry.

As the hunger deepen, and my clocks started moving slower, I would transition from hungry….to HANGRY!

Often times this would lead me to snacking. Even more often then that though, it would lead me to snacking on something that wasn’t keto friendly 😦

This cycle was rather vicious. Until I stumbled upon a new ally!

Kiss My Keto Keto Bar’s!

Finally, I had found a keto friendly snack that tastes delicious AND fit my macros!

I was pumped up!

Now I eat one of these amazing bars basically everyday! I love them!

With just 3g net carbs, 9g protein and 20g of fat per serving, these Keto Bars are the perfect snack to stay in ketosis and burning fat all day long! Best of all, they taste soooooo good!

Let’s Get KETO DRUNK!

You diet hard, now let’s play hard! Time to PARTY!

In today’s post, I want to cover 4, SUPER SIMPLE, alcoholic beverages you can enjoy while staying in your beloved state of ketosis.

Before I do that though, I want to cover an important detail.

Drinking alcohol while following a keto diet will affect your progress. Specifically, it will slow down your rate of ketosis.

Your liver can make ketones out of alcohol (which is what we want). The hold up is, our bodies are programmed to treat alcohol as a toxin. So when we consume alcohol, our system prioritizes getting it our of our body as fast as possible.

The long and short of this is, our liver will begin to process the alcohol as fast as possible, before all other nutrients, furthermore slowing the conversion of fatty acids to ketones.

SO, it won’t crush your keto kickass-ness, it will just TEMPORARILY slow your progress.

No worries! You’ll bounce right back once the alcohol has left the building 😉

Enough Talk! Bartender, Hit Me!

Number 1: The White Russian!

Kahlúa won’t work for a keto-friendly White Russian. But sugar-free coffee syrup will!

Here is my recommendation: Sugar-free coffee syrup, nut milk, heavy cream, and vodka.

Another option could be a butter- and chocolate chip infused vodka shaken with heavy cream and homemade coffee liqueur.

Number 2: Keto Colada!

Nice and simple.

Grab some coconut vodka, add heavy whipping cream, and top it all off with pineapple seltzer. BANG!

Number 3: Moscow Mule!

Let’s roll!

Kick things off with lime juice, add in a healthy dose of vodka ;), and finish with 4-5 ounces of DIET ginger beer.

Number 4: Pickle Juice Daiquiri!

This one screams keto.

Here you take a mix of brine, toss it with lime juice, and polish it off with your desired amount of rum.

Many enjoy this drink because they feel it prevents them from being hungover the next day (due to the electrolyte content).

And TA-DA! It’s Time To Party!

Go out there and enjoy responsibly!

Good Morning!

I hope you are having an amazing day today!

If you know me, or you have read some of my content before, I’m sure you’ve seen that I love resources!

Resources are the best.

Let’s face it, we don’t know everything (or atleast I don’t). Having the ability to use a resource to learn something new, or acquire something we want, is huge!

My love for the Ketogenic diet and taking advantage of resources is no different.

To that point, I recently found and began taking a product that has been an absolute GAME CHANGER in me staying in ketosis while also boosting my energy, workouts, and mind!

Bring On TruBrain Ketones!

This product has been amazing.

Since starting this product about 3 weeks ago, I have seen a tremendous jump in my mood, energy levels, and body composition.

So What Is It?

Great question!

TruBrain Ketones is a powder (chocolate flavor….yum) made with raw, premium Ketone Ester. Ingesting TruBrain Ketones helps you reach ketosis with less work by providing just a natural nudge to your bodies Ketone maker.

Your body naturally makes Ketones, regardless if you eat keto or not. Unless you choose to fast most days of the week, it’s tough to enhance your natural Ketone process.

BUT, before we give up on that, we now can factor in TruBrain Ketones. By ingesting TruBrain Ketones, you DO begin to naturally boost your own production! This happens because you are deepening your state of ketosis and furthermore amplify the natural physiological state you have created.

TruBrain Ketones powder also supports the metabolism of neural pathways in the brain to increase focus and mood.

What Do I Do?

I have been taking one scoop in the morning. Sometimes with black coffee, sometimes with just water.

I have noticed a great boost of energy and mental clarity. I have seriously been able to dial it up at work with the added focus.

I’ve also noticed, in lieu of those points mentioned above, that I have been able to seriously crank through my workouts with less breaks in between sets and more concentration on my targeted muscles.

Final Thoughts….

In my opinion, this product has been outstanding. I will definitely be grabbing a second bottle.

Whether you are just starting the ketogenic diet, or you have been crushing this diet for quite some time, I think this product can greatly enhance your day to day well-being

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have as well!

Ketogenic Coffee

Coffee & Keto? Yes. Double Yes.

Are you a coffee lover? Are you interested in eating in a ketogenic fashion? If you said yes to both these questions, please read 🙂

Often times when we begin a new diet, we find that we need to give certain things up. Sometimes this means giving up meat, sometimes all forms of carbs, sometimes desserts, and sometimes etc etc etc (the list goes on and on).

Well in case you were wondering, in the scenario of going keto and drinking coffee, I am here to spread the good word. You do NOT have to give up your beloved beverage! Actually, the two are somewhat of a match made in heaven!

As many of us know, coffee has a TON of health benefits. To list a few:

Coffee can lower your risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Lower your risk of Alzheimer’s disease
Protect you against Parkinson’s
Prevents cavities
Taste amazing!

So How Does Coffee Work With Keto?

Great question!

Listen closely. Black coffee, this means no sugars or creamers, has virtually zero calories. Again, I said plain black coffee.

With a ketogenic diet revolving around keeping your body in ketosis and staying in the lower carbohydrate category, realistically you could drink all the black coffee you wanted! (I wouldn’t suggest that though because your heart might explode)

Please hear me though, the minute you start adding heaps of sugar and creamer to your coffee…….you are saying bye bye to your keto diet. (womp womp)

But I Don’t Like The Taste Of Black Coffee!

Well, let’s fix that!

The good news for you is there are alot of tasty keto coffee recipes out there that can not only fuel your coffee need, but also extend the life of the caffeine (active chemical in coffee) so you get more bang for your buck!

Today, I am going to cover 3 recipes for you to try and enjoy 🙂

Bulletproof Coffee

Bulletproof Coffee is going to be the most popular recipe. I have tried this multiple times and can say without a hesitation of doubt that this is very delicious!

All you need is this:

1 cup of hot coffee
1-2 tbsp unsalted butter (Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter – Unsalted is popular)
1 tbsp MCT oil or coconut oil
The ability to blend it all together (blender, cup & spoon)

Vanilla Keto Coffee

Here we add a little more sweetness to the mix.

1 cup of hot coffee
1 tbsp Vanilla Omega PowerCreamer (Game changer)
Few sprinkles of ground cinnamon
The ability to blend it all together

Heavy Keto Coffee

The name is a play on words. This coffee is a really nice treat with options!

1 cup of hot coffee
3-4 tbsp of heavy whipping cream
- It’s all in the delivery!
- Pour your desired amount of heavy whipping cream in a small sauce pan and heat gently while stirring until it’s frothy.
- Pour your coffee and cream together and enjoy 🙂
- BONUS! Add Cocoa Powder to the mix for an extra nice flavor

As I mentioned above, adding fats to your coffee extense the life of caffeine. It does this because fats are a slow digesting macro-nutrient, so when caffeine is taken in in conjunction with fat, the caffeine take much longer to hit your blood stream. This allows for a much smoother flow of energy.

Please give these three keto coffee recipes a go! Let me know which one is your favorite!

The Ketosis Cookbook Review!

Today, we are going to discuss what I feel is the gold standard of cookbooks in the land of ketosis: “The Ketosis Cookbook”

What if I told you that instead of your body traditionally burning carbohydrates as energy, you could change that setting and have it burn FAT for fuel?

Now, in a world where you have made that switch from carbs to fat as fuel, when you are exercising, performing your day to day activities, and even just at rest, you are still burning up fat. That would be pretty sweet, right?

Well, ladies and gentleman, that is the beauty of the keto diet!

As many of you probably know, the keto diet is a high fat, adequate protein, low carb diet that burns off all the sugar stores in your body (all carbohydrates break down into sugar), and trains your body to burn fat as its preferred energy source.

This places you in the fat burning zone all the time!

So you want to follow a ketogenic diet, or maybe you already are …..That is great! Regardless of where you are at in the process, let’s fill your arsenal with the greatest tools available, to ensure (or enhance) your success!

Drum roll please! Insert The Ketosis Cookbook. Here we are talking about an easy to use cookbook with over 370 simple-to-prepare Keto Recipes complete with Keto Nutritional Information and a 12 week meal plan.

Now, if you ever come to a sticking point in your keto weight loss journey, you can simply bust out your cookbook and immediate halt that stress about your food. Rather then stress, you will continue on enjoying the healthy energetic body, weight loss, mental sharpness, and positive attitude you gain from eating only wholesome, natural ingredients that truly nourish all while staying in ketosis.

This video below is less then 2 minutes and explains to you even more so some of the amazing features the cookbook has within store for you.

If you are going to diet, I am a huge fan of doing it in a ketogenic fashion (hence the my website :)). And if you are going to follow a keto diet, I am ALL FOR stacking the deck in your favor. I mean really, why not? So grabbing a cookbook that will take all the guess work and stress out of the equation, sounds like an easy win for us!

I 100% recommend The Ketosis Cookbook. In my eyes, it will only help you succeed while on your journey of weight loss and improving your best self!

Guilt Free Desserts Cookbook Review

Today, I will discuss a new cookbook that is catching fire amongst those looking to lose weight and keep it off for good, WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE!

If you are checking out this website, I am going to venture a guess that you are walking down one of two paths. One: You are currently following a ketogenic diet. Or two: you are interested in starting a ketogenic diet.

Good news! Regardless of the path, the “Guilt-Free Desserts” cookbook will be able to help while making your world a WHOLE lot easier.

Before getting into the features of the Guilt-Free Desserts Cookbook, I want to talk about why resources like these are important.

When you are dieting, regardless of your experience level in health & fitness, you WILL hit a wall. You will hit a wall both mentally and physically. This happens to everyone, BELIEVE ME (I am a major victim of this).

Mentally, you will grow tired of the foods you have been eating while on this journey. Physically, the scale might stale, and because of this, naturally, you will lose motivation.

Now where do you turn to? Your trusty old cheese pizza? Probably (I know I do).

mmmmmmm, pizzaaaaa — mmmmmm, pizzaaaaaaa

More often then not, when this occurs, you hit the dreaded cycle of having to restart. Now we are getting back on the dieting train and mentally talking ourselves back up after allowing this slip to occur. NOT FUN

On top of this, being a ketogenic dieter, eating that cheese pizza, or burrito, or ice cream, throws our body way out of ketosis. Now we have to re-calibrate our whole system!

But don’t worry! We can prevent this!

The “Guilt-Free Desserts” cookbook is here to the rescue!

Earlier I mentioned how it is great to have a resources like this in your toolbox. This is because a resource like this can help you easily mix up you food choices and even better, ADD DESSERTS to your meal plan WHILE still losing weight and staying in ketosis!

Inside the Guilt-Free Desserts cookbook, you will find 50 of the most sumptuous dessert recipes that won’t pack on the pounds or spike your blood sugar!

You’ll learn how to make everything from spicy Gingerbread Cookies to moist Carrot Cake Cupcakes… classic Chocolate Soufflé… Cherry Almond Tarts… and even Crème Brûlée. You’ll also find all the traditional favorites like Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Crust, Fall-Spiced Custard, Apple Streusel and Chocolate Chip Cookies. And the best part, you will remain in KETOSIS!

Now, with this tool, you are able to mentally and physically stay in the game by allowing your mind the relaxation of eating foods you have been craving while also abiding by your dieting guidelines and continuing your weightloss! HUGE WIN!

Guilt-Free Desserts cookbook is delivered in convenient PDF format, so you can download your copy right away. All you need to do is browse, print and cook!

I think that if you are working hard on your weightloss goal, abiding by a ketogenic lifestyle, and looking to add some flexibility into your life, the Guilt-Free Desserts cookbook is definitely something you should look into. I give it two thumbs up!

The 28-Day Keto Challenge Review

Think you are up for a 28-Day Keto Challenge that could improve your life forever?

Today, I will review some of the amazing benefits in store for men & women trying the keto diet for just 28 days.

Let me start this review today with a quote I am sure many of you have heard before…… if you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got. This quote applies directly to dieting and food choices.

In today’s world, when individuals look to lose weight, they almost always bust out these same three steps:

try to cut calories
be smarter with their portion sizes
resort to bland foods (both bland looking and tasting!)

Guess what, if you have tried these steps listed above before with no success, why would it be any different the 2nd, 3rd, for 4th time you give it a whirl? News flash….IT WON’T!

Angry With Dieting — **I Feel Your Pain!**

That is why you have to change your dieting approach up. Go against the quote stated above. Do what you have never done, to achieve something you have never achieved before. In this circumstance, we are talking about eating in a new format and achieving long term, sustainable weight loss!

The Keto Diet!

On the Keto Diet, you will eat in a way you have probably never eaten before. Keto revolves around eating in a high fat, adequate protein, and low carbohydrate fashion. The golden ticket with Keto is by going low carb, we deplete our body of its store of sugar. Now, we begin to burn FAT for fuel! FAT! That stuff we are desperately trying to get rid of! Now fat because our bodies main source of fuel (energy). Sounds pretty good, right?

The Always Forgotten About Dieting Detail

Want to know a MASSIVE trip up when people begin a diet? I’ll let you think for a second….

They don’t know what foods to eat?

Ehh, try again.

They don’t have time to diet?

NOOOOO, wrong again. If you have time to eat, you definitely have time to diet (since it is literally the same function).

They think they will lose too much weight?

Wrong again, although that guess was more of a crack at sarcasm!

Correct answer: THEY DON’T SET A FINISH LINE!

Picture this, if I asked you to go for a run, but didn’t tell you how far of a distance you were going to go, how apt would you be to get started? NOT VERY!

This Keto Challenge is 28 days! One Month! How motivated would you be knowing you only have to stick to something for 28 days. Come on!! You Can Do It!!!!!

Let’s Talk About Features

The 28-Day Keto Challenge comes with a 28-Day Meal Plan and 10 expert guides to educate and inspire you.

Written in an easy to digest format (I couldn’t help myself with that one), by simply flipping through the pages, you will understand:

The basics of the keto diet, how it works, and foods to enjoy.
How to go out with friends and still have fun! (aka not being the “I’m on a diet” stick in the mud friend) This includes tips for eating out and guidelines for drinking alcohol.
The best Keto supplements that can help amplify your results even more!
Finally, how to deal with all the new found energy and drive you have because you feel so great! (I am being playful with this one)

28 Days…Lose Weight….Feel Great….Why Not?

I think giving the 28-Day Keto Challenge is definitely worth a try. Let’s refer back to that quote I mentioned earlier…. if you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got. Let’s change the dialog this time! Let’s try something new, and achieve something great. Take the challenge, bet on YOURSELF, and see how great you feel after crossing the finish line.
