Kristen Mancinelli: How to Get to Ketosis-Ep. 98

Kristen Mancinelli: How to Get to Ketosis-Ep. 98

This week, Rob and Devon talked with their friend and Ketogenic Diet expert, Kristen Mancinelli. Not only is she highly knowledgeable about Ketogenic, but Kristen also has a solid background in Paleo and has written about both diets in various publications including LIVESTRONG.ORG Paleo magazine, and her own book, The Ketogenic Diet: A Scientifically Proven Approach to Fast, Healthy Weight Loss.

Kristen shared a lot of good information on the Open Sky Fitness podcast  this week. Share shared her own experience with the Ketogenic Diet; what it was like to reach the stage of Ketosis; how many carbs a person should take in on a daily basis; and what are the right and wrong foods to eat while on the diet.

We were also able to answer some of our listeners’ questions about the topic such as: Can an athlete or active person follow a Ketogenic Diet? and Can you follow a Ketogenic Diet with a busy schedule and still try to consistently workout? Can carbs be included?

How to Approach a New Health Goal

When beginning a new diet, workout regime, or goal; the more support and positive vibes that we can get from others, the better. However, that doesn’t mean that you should stop believing in yourself and only rely on others, but it’s always good to have a support system as well. Devon and Kristen are actually Accountability Partners and they took some time during the podcast to shed some light on the topic and share their insight on why it’s good to have an Accountability Partner to help you stay on track of your goals.
