The Science: How a High-Fat Diet Affects Weight & Health

Even though low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets have been popular for a while, many people are still fearful about the weight and health implications of following them. Have you ever been afraid to add “too many” Beyond Keto fats to your diet? Do you wonder what studies actually show? Does it make you nervous to go against the false nutrition recommendations that have been perpetuated for decades (high fat is unhealthy)? Can a high-fat diet and lifestyle like Beyond Keto make you lean?

Well, it’s true. What’s more, it can not only make you thin but healthier.

In fact, study after study has found that cutting carbs and eating healthy fats leads to fat loss. Indeed, eating fat makes you lean.

Here’s the science behind eating healthy fats in Beyond Keto, and how you can add more to your diet.

How High-Fat Eating Impacts Weight and Health

1. Eating Fats and Low-Carbs Lead to Ketosis

When you eat a high-fat diet, about 75% of your calories, and omit most carbs, you can get into the Keto Zone (ketosis). How does this help?

Ketosis is a state of low-carbohydrate intake in which your body produces and uses ketones for energy. Very little carbohydrates are necessary.

And, this is no ordinary energy. It’s stable. It provides mental focus. And it allows you to eat less and lose weight without an energy deficit.

Astonishingly, this new body fuel and brain fuel has been used successfully for decades to help children with epilepsy vastly reduce seizures (without medications) (1). It also promises brain health improvements in others including degenerative brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease (2).

What’s more, many people in ketosis report greater brain clarity, focus, and function than before.

How Beyond Keto Fats Can Make You Thin: As you follow Beyond Keto, you can experience ketosis by eating a diet full of healthy, anti-inflammatory fats, and omitting harmful, processed carbohydrates.

2. High-fat Eating in the Keto Zone Encourages Weight Changes without Hunger

Why is dieting usually so hard? One word: hunger.

Since hunger is one of the biggest reasons most people “fail” at diets, it’s reassuring to find a healthy way of eating that promising fat loss without hunger. Fat loss without cravings.

There’s not a hunger issue when eating healthy fats with Beyond Keto.

Beyond Keto’s low-carb, high-fat eating and ketosis automatically lead to a reduction in appetite (3). This occurs for a few reasons:

• Healthy fat foods promote satiety
• Fats are slow-digesting, allowing eaters to feel satisfied
• Ketone production suppresses appetite
• Leptin levels are optimized signaling fullness

What’s more, according to several studies, people eat fewer calories when they eat low-carbohydrate while increasing protein and fat (4).

How Beyond Keto Fights Hunger: Since every meal and plan is loaded with healthy fats, you can experience weight changes without hunger. You can feel satisfied with anti-inflammatory, healthy fats.

3. Eating Fat Makes You Thin By Targeting Unhealthy Abdominal Fat

Eating fat also works to reduce body fat in the best place possible: the abdominals.

Low-carb, high-fat eaters generally see significant fat loss in the first 2 weeks (5, 6), about 200-300% more weight than low-fat dieters. They’re able to do it without hunger (7, 8), and their fat loss is typically visceral fat. This fat is found around organs and increases inflammation and risk of disease (9, 10).

How Beyond Keto Targets Abdominal Fat: With your Beyond Keto plan, you can get started with healthy fat eating right away. This will help you see quick results, specifically around the mid-section.

4. Healthy Fats Are Highly Nutritious

Of course, it’s not all about being lean just for the sake of being lean. It’s about getting to your goal weight, feeling strong, and being healthy.

Eating a healthy high-fat diet can make you lean and healthier. First, it delivers healthy nutrients. Then, it promotes health indirectly by the weight loss itself. And then, it (11):

• Improves cholesterol ratios by reducing or maintain LDL “bad cholesterol while increasing HDL “good cholesterol”
• Reduces dangerous triglycerides
• Optimizes insulin and blood sugars
• Improves eye health, brain health, and hormone health
• Reduces inflammation

How Beyond Keto Encourages Health: By eating healthy fats in Beyond Keto, you can support gut health, brain health, cardiovascular health, and more. In fact, you will do this directly with the nutrients consumed as well as indirectly via healthy weight changes.

How to Eat More Fat to Get Thin with Beyond Keto

As crazy as it sounds, eating enough healthy fat requires some work. It’s easiest if high-fat foods are planned throughout the day.

• Morning: Start the day with Coffee or Tea and delicious MCT Oil Powder. If you use two scoops of this powder per day, you’ll get 14 grams of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). What’s more, about 11 of these grams will be the most beneficial and healthy MCT, C8.
• Snacks: Try using Fat Bombs as snacks. If you’re not familiar, “Fat Bombs” are simply very-high-fat snacks that are meant to help you get enough fat each day and satisfy hunger. Most are 85% fat and use coconut oil, olive oil, nuts, avocados, and other fats. You’ll find great recipes to start. If you eat 3 fat bombs per day as snacks, you’ll typically get about 45-60 grams of fat.
• Lunch/Dinner: When eating meals, you not only want to remove the carbs but add fats back. You’ll get some fats in the protein you choose, such as meat, eggs, and more. Many times, the protein will add 10-20 grams of fat per meal. Then, if you add a fat such as avocados, nuts, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, coconut oil, or other, at 2 Tbsp. oil or 1/2 avocado per meal, you’ll add 28 more grams for about 30-40 grams of fat.  When you eat 2 of these high-fat meals per day, such as Keto Zone Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli, you’ve added 60-80 grams of fat.

If you plan to eat fat throughout the day, you can easily consume more than 120 grams of fat per day. Then, adjust your amounts, and add more fat bombs or extra virgin olive oil, to get enough. Maybe even consider drinking a bit of olive oil every day.
