The Keto Diet

Is the Keto diet really any different from not eating starches and sweets? Is it worth it? Should I do it?

The Keto Diet
Todd Porter & Diane Cu

Lately, I have been considering beginning a diet before I returning back to school next month, and the famous Keto diet never fails to show up on my google search. I am not looking for a major weight loss diet, but more of an… "if I gain weight while at school, it is not the end of the world" diet.

From what I have researched, the Keto diet is a way of burning the right fats- the non-carbohydrate fats- that make our bodies feel bloated and chubby. These once carbohydrate fats are thenreplaced with healthy, good fats: non-starchy veggies and lean meat and fish. Those on the Keto diet do not eat sugars, gluten (** carbs**) and high carb fruits. So, is the Keto diet really any different from just cutting starches and sweets out of your diet? At the end of the day, the right fats are burned and by way of not eating starches and sugars.

The name for the Keto diet then comes from the word Ketosis, which is the metabolic state that your body shifts into after regimenting your diet towards the keto restrictions.

All in all, I have heard fabulous things about the Keto diet, that in all experiences, have led to weight loss. Moreover than weight loss, the Keto diet makes one feel less heavy and thus happier. In this way,because the Keto diet produces results, the diet is definitey worth the try, in my perspective.

As one who is interested in adjusting my diet to be more healthy and clean for my body, I think that I should try the Keto diet. Perhaps slowly introducing the dietary change into my diet is a good idea and the way to go. Starting a new food regiment is always exciting… wish me luck!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
