I’ve been doing keto for over a year. I happily lost all of my baby weight, and am maintaining a healthy size which means I can fit in all of my clothes! It is so awesome!
Now, I can go on and on about how awesome keto is, and how everyone who struggles with weight loss should give it a try. But the thing is, I’m not an expert at all. Just a girl who was willing to try it.
I have seen a bit of a back-lash from going keto. There will always be the skeptics. Which I think is great! What would this world be like if everyone were ‘yes men’ or ‘jump on the current bandwagon’ type of people. We need people to look at things at different angles, to see what we can’t initially see. We just do.
What is great, is that if the thing/product/idea etc, is solid, it will be able to withstand scrutiny and have answers for all the questions. . . or at least most of them.
You can find plenty of first-hand accounts, like mine, of keto working, but what I have gathered here, are my favorite intelligent articles on keto.
And I will continue to add and update this post whenever I come across another fantastic article.
This is as much for my benefit as for yours. This way, I will have all the smart stats in one place!

This Lady, Maria, is someone I follow on Facebook, and I suggest that you do too. She is incredible and an expert in the field of ketogenics.
Maria Mind Body Health:
- This is a great beginner explanation of what many people might worry about before starting keto. https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/8-common-misconceptions-about-ketogenic-diets/?fbclid=IwAR1ZGKl9f3mFYPleugMRJsVrX8UHFVwCnkqgofrOBJ2-SZtuWFJejtxigC8
- This article deals with diabetes and the myths surrounding Keto https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/skinny-and-diabetic/?fbclid=IwAR0Jtdb1pcv-jlVQtTNletFuPib7G5E6RgmOfg_mqqm0A4e10qDmVKNwTbs
- What I love about this article is how she breaks down the nutrients of red meat vs other healthy plant based food. I found it when I was considering doing the Keto Beef and Butter fast, but was worried I was going to be starving myself nutritiously because of mostly eating red meat. https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/keto-vs-vegan-diets/?fbclid=IwAR18KicjAA0u112Bl7yhjkwWHKz18EzKU1UogKIWCY0DwGD0RmlF6lw0OCA
- Check out her fantastic book: Keto Adapted

These next few are from Common Sense Keto
Actually, most, if not all of the posts I save are from these two facebook pages. You should join them. Highly informative.
- Here he breaks down how the body uses fat for energy. And it is clear and concise. http://commonsenseketogenics.com/how-does-the-body-actually-deal-with-energy-from-carbs-protein-fat/?fbclid=IwAR2oDDr-vFuFU3esCzTiYQzRdJ6Ohgax-X5BlL-HgWkS1KZU37LugkS1m9M
- This is by the Facebook page I follow called ‘common sense keto’. This isn’t a blog post, but a rebuttal on his facebook page about a study done in mice. I think that this link will take you to the page AND the post i’m referring to. it starts ‘Coach Jack’s crap science of the day’. As you can tell, he wasn’t too happy about the study.
Perfect Keto:
One of the big arguments about keto is that we need carbs to survive and it is not healthy to take it out of our diet. This article explains exactly how our body creates ‘glucose’ for the parts of our bodies that need it. And it also explains why we shouldn’t be scared of eating extra protein.
And As A Bonus: Here is one from Ditch The Carbs:
- It’s about how terrible sugar is for you. It is a fascinating read! https://www.ditchthecarbs.com/30-reasons-why-sugar-is-bad-for-us/?fbclid=IwAR1crIJO86LnszbDHKms4YS5LcbiKO9D26h8kGyaS5GfzKWfIfx87myfCuc
- You can get the Ditch the Carbs Book: Low Carb Starter Pack Here:
I am all for adding any other fantastic well-written, and well-researched keto articles. Let me know in the comments if there are more I should add!
