Keto rules

RULE 1. MEASURE YOUR KETONES DAILY
To ensure that you aren't eating too many carbohydrates it's important you measure your urine for Ketones (which indicates whether you are burning fat or not) twice daily using Ketostix. For optimum fat burning your Ketone levels should be between 'etrace' and 'esmall' (0.5 - 1.5 mmol/l).

RULE 2. UNDERTAKE MODERATE EXERCISE
When following the KetoSystem you must participate in a low intensity, moderate exercise program such as vigorous walking, aerobics, slow swimming, jogging, or cycling. High intensity exercise is not recommended because your muscle energy stores are lower. Depending on your exercise habits, the amount of protein eaten daily should be increased so that muscle is maintained and fat loss is increased.
  • Light Exercise
    If you do no more than 15 minutes of exercise daily; or 1¾ hours weekly multiply your protein intake by 1.1.
  • Moderate Exercise (Recommended)
    If you do between 15 to 30 minutes of exercise daily; or between 1¾ and 3½ hours weekly multiply your protein intake by 1.2.
  • Heavy Exercise (Not Recommended)
    If you do more than 30 minutes of exercise daily; or more than 3½ hours weekly which includes weight training multiply your protein intake by 1.3.
For example: Jenny is undertaking a moderate exercise program. Therefore during week 2 onwards of the KetoSystem she would have to increase her daily protein intake to 6½ palms (5½ palms multiplied by 1.2 = 6.6 or 6½ palms rounded) of protein. This would mean that she should eat an additional 2 Ketoslim shakes or 1 Keto Bar a day.

Note: Any exercise program should include some resistance training to maintain or build muscle mass.

RULE 3. DON'T RELY ON SCALES OR WORRY ABOUT MEASURING YOUR WEIGHT
Many diets designed to reduce a person's weight do so by depleting the body's fluid levels and muscle mass. This causes an inevitable rebound effect in weight gain, can damage the immune system and in some cases cause irreparable harm to a person's health.

Body composition or the fat to muscle ratio is the important factor. Your practitioner may not want you to lose weight but rather lose fat and maintain muscle mass. Keep measurements around your buttocks and waist to determine how much fat you are losing or for a more accurate result, ask your healthcare professional about Cellular Health Analysis to monitor your fat loss and protect important muscle mass and fluid levels.

RULE 4. ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE THERAPEUTIC OILS ARE CONSUMED
Keto Oil is the ideal oil supplement to induce thermogenisis and Ketone production. Take 1 serve (5 ml or approx. 1 teaspoon) twice daily with meals or as an ingredient in salad dressing.

RULE 5. CHECK WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL ON YOUR PROGRESS
The KetoSystem is not designed to be followed indefinitely. You should check with your healthcare professional on a regular basis to help monitor your progress and adjust your meal plan accordingly.

Once you've lost your excess body fat, keep it off, by switching to either the Insulin Zone System or A/B/O Blood Type diet. Either of these two diets will help you to maintain your optimum healthy weight and stop the inevitable rebound effect experienced with many "weight loss" programs. Talk to your practitioner for more information on the Insulin Zone System and A/B/O Blood Type diet.

RULE 6. DRINK 8-10 GLASSES OF WATER DAILY
High water intake is necessary to flush excess Ketones through the kidneys and prevent the negative effects of their accumulation. Fruit juices, cordials, alcohol, soft drinks and drinks containing carbohydrates or caffeine must be avoided.

RULE 7. SUGARS MUST BE AVOIDED AS THEY REDUCE FAT LOSS
This includes honey, molasses, raw sugar, soft drinks and juice concentrates.

RULE 8. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY ATTITUDE AND KEEP MOTIVATED
While it's important that you follow the KetoSystem Meal Plan closely, don't despair if you eat a non "Keto Friendly" meal or snack. Just return to your menu plan, check your Ketones with ketostix and keep trying to stay in ketosis (fat burning). With patience and persistance you will be amazed at the results you can achieve with the KetoSystem - The natural choice of healthcare professionals.

If you have anymore questions about the KetoSystem please consult your healthcare professional.
