Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you this great book I’m reading called, “Kick the Weight with Keto – How to Lose Weight and Feel Great on a Paleo Ketogenic Diet.” It’s a book by a woman, Kim Knoch, who was eating everything right on Paleo alone but still wasn’t losing weight. After discovering that it wasn’t because of a lack of willpower, laziness, or anything else, she prescribed herself a low-carb ketogenic diet. Kim began treating her disability to lose weight by using a ketogenic diet cure.
Kim has dropped from 260lbs to 220lbs!!! She describes this way of eating as a “lifestyle”…kind of how Paleo is to me! I love that she is open about her continual transformation saying, “I didn’t want to wait until I’m “perfect” to share this method, since I am for the time in my life having success!” Before Keto, Kim had come to grips with the fact that she was meant to be obese…but not anymore!
What is a Ketogenic Diet?
Kick the Weight with Keto uses “nutritional ketosis” to tell your brain to use ketones for fuel instead of glucose. Ketones break down fatty acids, either from fat in your diet, or from your own body fat stores. When you lower your carbohydrate intake enough your body starts breaking down fat for fuel! Which, obviously, is a great thing! When you are eating loads of carbs, your body uses glucose to burn fuel and doesn’t tap into fat stores causing weight loss. Kicking yourself into ketosis requires diligence and a deep desire to see your health (and weight) improve.
Is Kick the Weight with Keto for me?
Do you want to lose weight? Has your weight loss stalled with eating Paleo or Primal alone? Do you suffer from metabolic issues (thyroid, adrenal fatigue, PCOS) or blood sugar issues? Are you a healthy weight but would like more mental clarity? Then Kick the Weight with Keto is for you!
**Nutritional ketosis has worked for so many different types of people. If you are pregnant/breastfeeding or have type 1 diabetes, then you should avoid a Ketogenic diet.
What’s the Diet Like?
The Keto diet is somewhat similar to eating Paleo or Primal(with the inclusion of high quality dairy) and uses a high fat, moderate protein, and low carb guideline. Kim gives you a suggestions of what to eat and what to avoid to help kick your body into nutritional ketosis. In the book you will find 2 weeks of suggested meal plans and LOTS of recipes. In fact, half the book is recipes!!!
After reading Kim’s book and educating myself more on nutritional ketosis, I am going to be adding it into my nutritional regime. I have, personally, lost over 60lbs eating Paleo, but my weightloss has stalled. I’ve been ok with that because I am comfortable with myself, however, I, clearly, have around 15-20 more lbs to lose. I’m pretty sure Kick the Weight with Keto will do the trick! Won’t you join with me?

I lost 80 lbs several years ago following the Atkins diet, which is a ketogenic diet. There are so many similarities with Paleo that I thought I’d try Paleo this time but I know that it’s not going to be enough (I have metabolic issues – PCOS and thyroid). I have about 120 lbs to lose and I’m having a hard time getting motivated to do it. Although I can’t buy this book right now, I’m glad to know that there are those who will be using Paleo in a ketogenic way. I’ll try to get myself in the right frame of mind and hopefully join you soon!
Interested but I would never spend $15.99 on an e-book. 🙁

I have been doing keto now for about 3 years. I lost weight quickly at first, but more slowly later- but steadily so I am good with that. I have lost a total of 30 of the 40 I have to loose. Most of that with no exercise- but now I do Hi Intensity Interval Training… I would have lost it all by now if I had been doing that earlier. TONS of info on line for free and tons of amazing recipes for Keto. Type lo-carb or keto diet at Pinterest. The one mos amazing thing about going keto is that you loose your cravings for any and all starchy carbs. Your appetite in general is so much less because you have switched your body so it now burns fat… and since there is plenty of that still on my body it has a continual food supply. I eat one meal a day and maybe two snacks because that is all I am interested in eating- I just don’t want any more than that- . Your diet is high (good) fat, adequate (NOT high) protein and lo carb (all NON starch)) I no longer need “will power” to eat like this- I feel good all the time as my mood has improved and I have more energy. I will always eat like this now as the freedom it gives me is such a joy.
I have been eating this way for 6monhs. Have lost 38lbs. And feel good. My legs don’t swell anymore and I to do not have cravings. My health is so much better. I Will continue eating this way. Give it a try it works.
