The Big Fat-Burning Science

All forms of carbohydrates - fruits, vegetables, grains, and starches - are broken down into glucose by your body, increasing your blood sugar. Your body considers raised blood sugar toxic, so it releases insulin (a storage hormone) to push the glucose into your cells. Once this occurs your blood sugar decreases, making you hungry again.

This vicious cycle of blood sugar highs and lows is why you experience endless hunger and cravings.

The release of insulin halts your body's ability to release fat and toxins. If you're eating carbohydrate-based foods every two to three hours, your body is never fully able to exercise its ability to rid itself of excess. And if more carbohydrates are consumed than what your body needs, they will be converted into triglycerides and stored in your blood, leading to weight gain and unbalanced cholesterol.

Loved this and learned so much

Great information Love her voice and explanations she through in Easy to understand Glad I have this to listen to again and her book to refer to

Helpful for newbies

I thought this book was super helpful and short enough to get a very basic understanding of the Keto diet. I agree that it was quite annoying how the author mispronounced a lot of words. However, I did like that she talked about her food journal even though most people felt it was pointless. It's helpful to know what the first month will look like. Overall a good book!

Thank You!

Much easier to understand. Leanne goes through her own journey and it is much like my own. Breath of fresh air and a sigh of relief. Easy to understand. Life changer.

A great guide for keto beginners!

A clear, concise, personal experience of how to begin a ketogenic lifestyle and how to keto adapt aka fat adapt. Especially helpful for women. Thank you, Leanne!
