Great information. I went on a low-calorie diet once and though it worked for a short period of time, I always had headaches and I jus couldn’t sustain it. I guess it just wasn’t for me. You really need to have a strong will to succeed, especially if you’re used to bigger portions.
I’m trying something else now that is called the Keto diet and so far this has been working for me. I’m a beginner on this diet and you seem to be very knowledgeable about them. Do you have any information that you could give me as a beginner on this diet? It would be very much appreciated!
Essentially, exogenous ketones boost the body’s natural ability to reach ketosis quicker. Once in ketosis, the body will burn more fat. Ketone boosting supplements are not fat burning in themselves, but they will make the process of achieving ketosis easier.
A ketone boost can also help boost energy, sharpen focus and enhance mental clarity. If you are looking to lose weight and reach optimal health in a natural way, then a ketogenic supplement is definitely for you.
I have not completed my research into this diet, although keep hearing good things about it. I hope it works for you. I always caution when a supplement is required though. Recommend you clear that with a Doctor.

Hi James, my name is Michael and I am a recovering alcoholic.
I think you have picked a great topic and the way your life story relates is spot on. Life style change. I think God has given you the serenity to change the thing’s you made a choice to change. If you did not, you would not have able to produce an excellent informative website. This would have been a loss.
In your categories section it is obvious you have researched different diets associated with cancer, diabetes and so on. Very informative.
Experience on the topic. I got a lot from your personal journey and was impressed with your honesty. This carries on through out your site. A powerful message depicted through Lifestyle Change. I have book marked your site for future reference and to encourage some of my friends to pat you a visit.
Thank you Cowboy James,

Thank you for the kind words Michael. The road is never promised to be a smooth go.
Anytime you do something, or contemplate something to improve your health, a Doctor should be involved. The mass of information at our fingertips these days, does not mean it is all true. Too often it is someone’s opinion or worse.
hi James
a very informative and well documented post; if you are relatively sober and yet fat you, there are several causes: eat too much and do not move, eat too fat, eat the market without informing yourself of quality, stress, etc .; My opinion is that when you start a diet, you must first compose a doctor to find the causes that led to weight gain
