Key Takeaways

Keto’s Power for Men’s Health: Keto helped reverse high blood sugar, type 2 diabetes symptoms, and weight gain without relying on drugs like Trulicity or insulin.

Why Fat Burning Works: Unlike calorie-deficit diets, keto switches your body from burning sugar to burning fat, stabilizing blood sugar and hunger.

Insulin Resistance Explained: Eating carbs spikes insulin, leading to fat storage and metabolic issues. Keto breaks this cycle by eliminating sugar and starches.

No Cheating Allowed: Even one bite of carbs can kick you out of ketosis for days, especially when starting. Commitment is key!

Keto Flu Tips: Expect a tough first few days. Stay hydrated, add extra salt (e.g., dill pickles), and power through to become fat-adapted.
