IT WORKS! Jennifer lost 73 lbs !

After a mild heart attack, Jennifer Floyd was put on a strict plantbased plan. As with most diets, she barely lost an ounce.

With her doc’s blessing, Jennifer began tucking into eggs, protein shakes and protein-topped salads. Her metabolism caught fire. “I was losing with zero hunger.” Down from a size 18 to an 8 during pandemic lockdown, Jennifer says, “Some people teared up when they first saw me.

There’s an exciting, science-backed twist on There’s an exciting, science-backed twist on the keto diet that has the world buzzing. And it’s no wonder: Women who once struggled to lose an ounce on traditional plans are transforming their health and blasting up to 42 pounds in 30 days. Even famous keto experts are switching to the approach‚ and they’re suddenly leaner and have better blood work than ever. The secret? Instead of replacing blood work than ever. The secret? Instead of replacing carbs with lots of fat, you replace them with lots of lean protein. “Protein is the foundation—how you keep satiated and how you’ll lose weight quickly,” according to Dr. Oz, who recently posted a rapid-results version of the strategy. It already has millions of fans. Give it a try, and get ready for “the best results you’ve ever had! ”

On a keto diet, the aim is to reduce carb intake until you no longer make enough blood sugar to fuel your system, notes Duke University’s Eric Westman, M.D., author of End Your Carb Confusion. To compensate, your body will turn fat from fat cells and from food you eat into compounds called ketones, “which become your primary fuel,” he explains. This makes fat burning soar. Plus, lower blood sugar sets off a healing chain reaction that can lead to big health gains.

The surprise hitch: “Burning more fat doesn’t automatically mean losing body fat,” cautions Dr. Westman. “Overdo fat from food, and your body uses that fat to make the fuel it needs.” In other words, slice after slice of bacon and cheese are quickly burned as fuel, “and your body won’t need to tap into its stored fat at all.” The good news is that making lean protein the star of your low-carb meals solves the problem and sets you up for other huge advantages…

Here’s the gist of Dr. Oz’s protein-fueled plan for rapid results: Build each meal around 30 to 40 grams of protein, unlimited nonstarchy veggies and a little optional good fat. Skip carb-heavy foods, except an optional serving of low-sugar fruit and 1⁄2 cup beans/quinoa daily. Any snacks should be small with 12 to 15 grams of protein.
