Decreasing Carbohydrates for Health & Energy…how does Ketopia fit in?

Simple carbs, such as cookies, candy and chips may give you a quick FIX or boost of energy but afterwards when you realize how counter productive that was for your weight loss goals you often feel pangs of guilt. We know what is healthy but sometimes our cravings take over…and in those moments we do not have the kind of control that is needed.

This is where KETOPIA can help you!!!!! Ketopia is a 10-Day Reset Program that comes with 3 products to support your weight loss / fat loss goals….and keep you from craving unhealthy foods. These 3 products are the KetonX drink, Dough bites and Fixx. This 10-Day RESET will also help with your cravings and energy levels.

As I began to prepare for my KETOPIA experience two weeks ago I began to take a look at my current diet. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great either. Although I eat quite healthy, it was very high in carbohydrates, while low in protein and fats…and along with the couple of cocktails or glasses of wine in the evening – it didn’t add up to a program that was conducive for abundant energy or weight loss. My men-o-pot continued to expand!

The Ketopia 10-Day Reset is high in healthy fats, medium in protein and low in carbs. A whole new perspective EQUATION for me! (and, drum roll and side-bar, the KetonX drink puts your body into a healthy and natural state of ketosis within 1-2 hours so you are actually burning your stored fat for fuel rather than carbs and sugars!)

Even though we may know that simple carbohydrates are empty calories and contribute to weight and fat gain- many of us still can’t break our addiction to them.

With carbs so pervasive—and so hard to resist—Eat This, Not That! wondered, What happens to your body if you give them up? Much of their findings are here within this article. Eat This, Not That August 4, 2015

Find out how much you have to gain—and lose—by reducing your Carbohydrate consumption!

1) When You Give Up Carbs… You Start Burning Fat immediately!
Reducing your intake of calorie-dense carbs automatically reduces the amount of calories you’re consuming on a daily basis, which forces your body to burn fat stored around your midsection for energy, rather than the sugars it takes from carbohydrates.

With KETOPIA, one of the things people notice first is INCH loss. Where you tend to store your body fat, you’ll quickly notice a reduction in those areas. For both men and women, it is often the belly!

2) When You Give Up Carbs…You Feel Less Hungry
It’s not calories that satiate your hunger, it’s nutrients: fiber, protein and healthy fats. Unfortunately, simple, refined carbs are lacking in all three, even as they fill your body with fast, cheap calories. So no matter how much you eat, your body will go in search of more food. The result: a sluggish, hungrier you — one who’s more likely to dive into the snack drawer. Side-bar, with eating the Ketopia Dough bites in the morning you will feel FULL, satisfied and have NO cravings for sweets or carbs. Dough bites are a phantom carb….your body believing they are carbs but the have zero insulin resistance…and they are high in fiber!

3) When You Give Up Carbs.. Your Belly Gets Flatter
One of the first things you notice when you replace simple carbs with high- fiber foods is that your belly flattens out—literally within days. The reason: Most Americans only take in 15 of the recommended 25 to 38 grams per day, according to the Institute of Medicine. As a result, the healthy gut microbes that keep us lean have less to munch on, and the unhealthy microbes—which feast on sugar—take over. Those are the little buggers that cause bloating, and make your belly look bigger than it actually is. “Bumping up fiber can help promote healthy regularity,” says Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN, registered dietitian and founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition. Side Bar here…..the Dough bites have 16 grams of fiber in each serving! One of the things I noticed within ONE DAY of using Ketopia was not only dropping a couple of pounds, but losing 1 3/4″ around my belly!
