Do you need to get into ketosis super fast?

How to Cut Herbs for Cooking

Growing and caring for herbs is new for me, so I can't just create a beginner's guide that tells you everything you need to know about growing herbs – all at once.

Instead, I'm going to create a series of posts, as I learn about caring for these culinary delights.

Yesterday, I decided to cook a pot roast since they were on sale at Albertson's for 2.49 a pound. We like Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning and rosemary on our steaks, so I decided to do the same thing to the beef chuck roast.

Since I didn't quite know how to snip the rosemary off the herb growing outside, I had to do a little research on how to cut herbs for cooking; and I am so glad that I did.

I honestly would have done it wrong!

How Do I Get Back Into Ketosis Faster After Cheating?

Did you let go of Keto for the holidays? Have a free meal? Maybe a carb up? Or go out to dinner? 

Restaurants are well known for hiding sugar in their salad dressings and putting other carby ingredients into their food that you might not know about. What you expect to be low carb isn't always as low as you think. 

All it takes is a single teaspoon of sugar in the salad dressing or a light dusting of flour on that chicken breast, and you'll experience the consequences without even know why!

However, all is not lost! 

You can recover from your setback and get back into ketosis almost as quickly as water fasting by following the Keto cheat recovery plan outlined below.

Atkins 72, An Alternative Low-Carb Plan

If you're struggling to lose weight on a modern version of the Atkins Diet, you might be eating too many carbs. You could also be eating too much fat, especially if fat is taking up 80 percent of your calories.

According to Dr. Atkins, the program he created in 1972 was "a very low carb reducing diet (and not a high-fat diet as many of my nonreading critics asserted)."

Returning to the diet Dr. Atkins created and used on himself and patients can get the scales moving downward again, so in this post, I am going to outline everything you need to know to get started on Atkins 72 Induction right away.

I have also included a few sample menus to make the process easier for you.

Heard About the Egg Fast to Break a Stall? (It Works!)

Weight-loss stalls can be frustrating, I know. 

Even when you've done everything right, and haven't cheated, the scales can still refuse to budge. 

There are a variety of stall-busting methods that seem to work for many people. This Egg Fast, originally created by Jimmy Moore, is one of them. 

You do need to love eggs, but if you do, it would also be an excellent alternative for getting into ketosis fast.

Why the Original Atkins Diet Works Better for Weight Loss

Are you struggling to make Atkins 20 work for you? Has weight loss slowed down to a crawl? Maybe, you've done Atkins before, but the current version just isn't working like you remembered. If so, you are not alone. 

There seems to be an ever-growing number of low-carb dieters who find themselves metabolically resistant to the current Atkins Induction Diet. 

While that can certainly be frustrating, especially if you've had success with the Atkins Nutritional Approach before, there is always a reason why the diet doesn't work.

How Long Does it Take to Get Into Ketosis?

The main benefit of going into the state of ketosis is the reduced hunger that results when you start burning fatty acids for fuel, so many dieters aim to get into that state quite quickly.

Getting into ketosis is a simple process and occurs faster than most people think.

What takes longer is adapting to using fatty acids for fuel.
