What is Keto Diet?
What is a ketogenic diet? A ketogenic diet is a diet that causes the body to enter a state of metabolic flux where it burns fat for energy rather than glucose. As a result, the body enters a state of "ketosis" where the availability of glucose is reduced, and the body begins to break down stored fat for energy. Ketosis is a metabolic state where the body has run out of its preferred energy source, glucose, and has begun to metabolize fat as an alternative. This process can be triggered by fasting, the consumption of a very low-carbohydrate diet, or by ingesting a high-fat diet. Ketosis can occur when you've consumed a very low amount of carbohydrates and your body has switched its main fuel source to fats. Your liver then converts fats into fatty acids and ketones, which are substances that your body can use as fuel.

6 Effective Ways to Lose Weight Without Exercise

The bottom line is that you must consume fewer calories than your body burns in order to lose weight. Eating more calories than you burn is the most common reason people gain weight — not less exercise, genetics, or other factors as some people mistakenly believe. So, if you want to lose weight, you must eat less than your body burns. If you want to lose weight faster, you can try eating less than your body burns by 500 calories per day. This will result in about one pound of weight loss per week. If you want to lose weight faster, you must eat less. You can do this by eating less food or eating low-calorie foods. You can also increase your metabolism by exercising.

7 Easy Ways to Lose Weight Effectively (Backed by Science)
1. Add Protein to Your Diet When it comes to weight loss, protein is the king of nutrients. Our body burns calories when digesting and metabolizing the protein you eat, so a high-protein diet can boost metabolism by up to 80–100 calories per day. A high-protein diet can also make you feel fuller and reduce your appetite. In fact, some studies show that people eat over 400 fewer calories per day on a high-protein diet. Even something as simple as eating a high-protein breakfast (like eggs and bread) can have a powerful effect of increasing your protein intake in the morning.

Belly Breathing Benefits
Belly Breathing: The Basics Have you ever watched a baby breathe? Over the past 10 months I’ve never watched someone breathe so much as I have my son. It’s an anxious mother thing but there is a glorious level of joy to seeing a baby’s belly rise and fall as they are in peaceful slumber.
