Adapting a ketogenic lifestyle definitely has it’s perks.  Moms all over the world are testing out this diet in hopes of achieving all sorts of health benefits.

In this quick post I wanted to share my top 3 Health Benefits Of A Ketogenic Diet that I personally have experienced, in hopes to motivate you to try it out as well!

About 7 years ago my health was in shambles.  I was a mom of 2 little kids and I could barley leave the house.  I had chronic fatigue and crippling anxiety and each day was a struggle.

My doctor recommended a nap and a prescription but I knew there was a better way. The first thing I decided to revamp was my nutrition.  I was way too addicted to sugar and carbs and most days I didn’t even eat a fruit or vegetable!

As I made little changes here and there I started to notice huge shifts in my health.  It took some time and I was learning every day.

A grain free diet filled with nourishing fats, protein, veggies, nuts and seeds ended up being what really helped to heal my body!

Here are the top 3 Health Benefits Of A Ketogenic Diet that I experienced!

1. Increased Energy: During this dark time my energy was non-existent which is horrible when you have 2 little kids running around.  I couldn’t clean the house, or cook meals, I couldn’t go grocery shopping without having a melt down, I’m serious when I say this time was very dark for me.  As I revamped my nutrition I noticed a gradual increase in energy which was such a blessing! It was only a matter of time until I could bring my kids to story time and the park without being exhausted.  It was so liberating.

If you just slightly struggle with low energy I encourage you to try a keto diet for at least 30 days and see how you feel!  At the very minimum it will reset your tastebuds and get you off sugar!

2. Better Sleep: During this time I was also unable to sleep.  This only added to all the health issues I experienced.  Once I started eating a keto inspired diet I was able to fall asleep easier at night and … STAY asleep all night long which helped heal my body and increase my energy!

3. Drastic Decrease in Anxiety and NO More Panic Attacks: One of the most annoying symptoms to deal with during this time was intense anxiety and panic attacks.  It’s such a crippling feeling.  You feel a tight chest, sick stomach, shaky, nervous, you’re scared to go places because you never know if you’re going to feel “up to it” or not.  Well, once I switched to a keto inspired diet my blood sugar became nice and steady and the panic attacks subsided.  I realized that I generally had a panic attack when I was hungry!  I no longer felt shaky and irritable when I was hungry either.  I was finally giving my body the nutrients it needed so that it could feel calm and relaxed as well!

I urge you, if you are a mom who is struggling with energy, sleep or any sort of mood issue, PLEASE think about trying the ketogenic diet.  Even if only for 30 days, I promise you’ll see some drastic improvements in your health.

I tell people that if after the 30 days you want to expand your nutrition to include more foods then go for it, but some people love how they feel so much they decided to stay keto for another 30 day cycle.
