Book Description
Living the Ultimate Keto Lifestyle sets out basic principles and practices for following a keto diet in order to achieve your weight-loss goals. As low-carb high-fat diets have increased in popularity, a wealth of information has proliferated on the internet and in print media. The problem is knowing what works, and differentiating between sound advice and opportunistic entrepreneurs whose primary aim is to monetize ‘solutions’. In 2017, Hendrik Marais founded Keto Lifestyle South Africa with the aim of providing the information needed to build a healthy, sustainable lifestyle based on the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. He believes that while nutrition is important, a healthy lifestyle must find the right balance between sleep, stress management, exercise and nutrition. By making keto accessible and approachable, Marais has inspired thousands of people to adopt simple, healthy eating habits and stick to them. In addition to practical advice for implementing a ketogenic diet, the book includes over 80 recipes that fall within the recommended macronutrient ratios, as well as sample meal plans, and ideas for effortless entertaining.
