I’ve got a great episode for you this week… all about KETO!

Keto? On my show?

Yes!

.

.

What population is keto good for?

.

Joe focuses on nutrition first, sometimes before even adding in an exercise regimen - listen why.

.

We run through a case scenario of someone coming to him wanting to lose 50-75 pounds on the ketogenic diet.

.

How to prevent a binge-restrict cycle.

.

Food Addiction

.

What is ketosis and what are ketones? How are they properly applied and what are common misconceptions?

.

Are there any long-term effects for keto?

.

How to get more fiber in while on the keto diet.

His favorite keto comfort food?

Joe gives his top two recommendations for getting started today.
