I tried the Keto diet years ago and … I lost my period and felt like a crazy person. I know this isn't everyone's experience and there's merit in certain situations when it comes to the keto diet. What sparked this two part conversation? If you go to my IG page, you’ll see a Story Highlight called “My Story” where I talk about my whole journey from struggling with my weight, developing an eating disorder, clearing up my eating disorder, losing weight, starting my online coaching business, and developing hormonal issues. People always respond to that story and ask me more about keto and how does keto affect the female body? So we decided it’s time I do a full podcast episode. In Part 1, we'll discuss what the keto diet is, why there hasn't been much research historically on the keto diet and women from a long term perspective, and some of the benefits keto can present.  Make sure you don't miss next episode where we discuss the risks, how it affects the female body from a scientific standpoint, what you need to know before you try it, and more! Time Stamps: (1:12) Finding Omar a New Intro (1:47) Talking Keto (5:27) The Research Alone is Flawed (6:17) Women in Research (9:27) Benefits of Keto (14:15) Keto and Blood Sugar Control (19:32) Keto and Cancer Treatment ---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women’s Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------​Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we’ll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
