After riding the highs and lows of the ketogenic diet, Leanne Vogel made a HUGE discovery that made this diet finally become sustainable for her and the many women who've been listening to her podcast, The Keto Diet Podcast. In today's podcast, this passionate Nutrition Educator shares her personal experience with Dr. Jockers and explains why the ketogenic diet works differently for women because of their hormonal differences from men. The diet itself – foods composed of healthy high fat and quality protein – is similar, as well as the need for fasting to boost the production of ketones. Where it differs is in the timing. Discover how the women's cycle becomes the key player for success in the keto journey. Find out the best time of the month to fast, when to carb up, and the best carb sources Leanne recommends so you won't stall your progress.
