Ketogenic Diet

Time to boost your weight loss

It’s January, the season where we renew our focus on weight loss. This year nearly everyone’s talking about the ketogenic diet, the low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat program that promises everything from better brain health to weight loss.

Originally designed as an epilepsy treatment in the 1920’s, the ketogenic diet now has studies showing it reduces blood sugar and obesity, while lowering inflammation and improving brain health. Perhaps the best-known proponent is Dr. David Perlmutter, neurologist and author of the book “Grain Brain.”

If you want to learn more about the diet, come browse one of the many books we’ve brought in on the subject. These include “Quick & Easy Ketogenic Cookery,” “Quick Keto Meals in 30 minutes or less,” “The Keto Paleo Kitchen,” and “Dr. Fife’s Keto Cookery.” Each book covers the diet principles then offer a host of tasty recipes.

While you’re here you can browse our large selection of keto-supporting products. Garden of Life has just introduced a new line of USDA Organic and Certified Non-GMO products to help promote ketosis. You can choose from two flavors of Keto Meals, which contain 70% fat from organic grass-fed butter powder, or two flavors of Keto Fit, a shake with extra ingredients to help promote weight loss. There’s also Organic MCT Powder, Organic Grass-Fed Butter Powder, along with several flavors of keto-friendly collagen.

Garden of Life’s Collagen Peptides is Keto Certified and Paleo Certified and mixes easily in hot or cold fluids. If you want a bigger beauty boost, Collagen Beauty is formulated with additional silica from bamboo, vitamin C and biotin. If joints and mobility are an issue for you, there’s Collagen Tumeric, which contains clinically studied UC-II Type 2 undenatured collagen shown to improve joint issues along with 550 mg of fermented turmeric!

If you need more keto food on the go, we’ve got Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bars in four flavors: Vanilla Shortbread, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Lemon Cookie and Mint Chocolate Chip. Yum!

In addition we have ketone test strips from Zhou Nutrition, as well at Keto Drive, beta-hydroxy butyrate ketones, in two flavors. We also stock Dr. Mercola’s Ketozyme to help you digest the additional fat of a keto diet. From Nature’s Plus we have two flavors of Keto Living shakes, a Keto Living multivitamin, and a Keto Living Sugar Control to faster promote insulin sensitivity. Last we’ve long had Garden of Life’s MCT oil and Health from the Sun’s MCT powder.
