How do your fat cells work?

Fat cells are like little stubborn balloons in your body.  They love to hold their shape and resist change.  When you are in ketosis and your body starts to burn fat it starts to deplete these fat cells.  But these cells don’t want to change.  They start to hold more water to resist this type of change until they can no longer change!  Why is that important for you to know that?  Because the scale is your worst enemy when you start this diet.  Your fat cells will hold more water even though you are losing fat.  You will notice a change in your measurements so it’s highly recommended to measure success in the beginning.

How do I start the Ketogenic Diet?

The very first thing I would do is make a decision to start this process and be dedicated to it.  You will do more harm to yourself if you decide to eat high fat and still consume the carbs.  It will lead to obesity.

Know that there is such thing as the “Keto Flu” when you start.  Your body is going through a change and it won’t feel good in the beginning.  I had pretty bad headaches for about 3 days.  It was the kind of a headache you get when you don’t drink enough water.  I would drink more water than usual and I would also drink some pickle juice to help with this change.  It doesn’t last very long at all.

Order some Ketone Pee Strips to test the ketone levels in your body.  This was very important for me in the beginning.  I was learning the different foods that put my body out of its ketosis state.  Your body needs to remain in ketosis for this to work.
