Keto Diet Challenge - Are They Worth It?

What is a Keto Diet Challenge? 

Our keto challenge is offered in three different tiers, enabling you to select the level that best suits your needs. The 21-day keto diet challenge acts as a reset for the body, shifting it into the fat-burning state of metabolic ketosis, which makes releasing excess body fat a breeze.

Our challenge follows five principals, all of which are outlined in detail once you can digitally access to the program. The challenge packs also include other valuable benefits, like video coaching and easy step-by-step cooking tutorials.

Besides, the plan includes meal and dessert recipes, along with tips on how to maintain ketosis when eating on-the-go.

The program also includes a guide to advise which foods to limit or eliminate entirely, along with information on keto-friendly ingredient substitutes. 

Plus, Chef Ido will provide expert advice on which foods to pick up at the market, and our simple step-by-step cooking tutorials can turn even the novice in the kitchen into a keto cooking wiz.

Our most comprehensive 21-day keto diet challenge pack includes a tub of our creamy and delicious Keto Shake and a tub of our ketone-boosting chocolate truffle flavored Keto Activate.

Both products aid in complete nutritional support as you recalibrate your body's fuel source and begin to torch body fat with ease.

We also offer a more stripped-down package, sans supplements, if you're on a budget and reigning things in as we survive the shopping spree of the holiday season.

Honestly, our most basic package can get you started for less than many spend on coffee each month.

Should You Do a Keto Diet Challenge? 

If you'd like a metabolic reset to help release fat, improve mood, or aid in sharper mental clarity, then the Keto Diet Challenge is for you! 

Although adding a light jog or some strength training to your regimen may benefit your cardiovascular system and prevent bone degeneration, some states of health make it wise to consult with your physician before getting started with a new exercise regimen.

Consult with your doctor to ensure that you are cleared to begin a new nutritional or exercise regimen when any of the following is true: 

• You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes
• You have heart disease
• You suffer from arthritis
• You have kidney disease
• You have high blood pressure
• You are currently or were recently undergoing treatment for cancer

Also, if it's been a while since you've dusted off your gym gear and you may be a bit out of shape, it's advisable to start slowly and build up the intensity as you acquire increased strength and endurance.

Many forms of compromised health can make it smart to consult with your doctor before diving headlong into high-intensity workouts, especially conditions related to lung or heart health, such as:

• A pronounced or racing heartbeat
• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting with exercise or physical exertion 
• Experiencing pain or discomfort in arm, chest, neck, or jaw during exercise
• Ankle swelling, especially in the evening
• Pain in lower legs that are pronounced during activity but improves with rest
• A previously diagnosed heart murmur

If at all in doubt of whether you're healthy enough to begin a dietary or fitness challenge, err on the side of caution.

It doesn't hurt to check in with your physician and nutritionist to ensure that your decided new keto eating plan will support your nutritional needs and prevent nutritional deficiencies.

Short Term Success is Important

Choosing a sustainable weight-loss plan and eating style requires balance and enough calories to ensure satiety.

Think about it, eating a cabbage soup diet for the rest of your life isn't realistic—a balanced diet requires a variety of nutrients from many food sources.

However, a quick win to kickstart your weight-loss experience on a ketogenic diet is a fantastic way to boost confidence and build excitement around the visible benefits of living a sugar-free lifestyle.

Delayed gratification is a part of the adulting experience, and accepting it is helpful for those with a more significant amount of weight to lose over an extended period.

But a sizeable drop on the scale in your first week can provide just the encouragement needed to persevere.

Suddenly fitting into your 'skinny' jeans or feeling more vibrant and mentally sharp can all also serve as a valid form of motivation.

Fortunately, most report losing up to 10 pounds during their first week of eating a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet.

Weight-loss rates will vary from person to person, but many share that they were pleasantly surprised with their fat loss after eliminating refined sugars and carbs for even a week—pretty exciting news.

Kickstart a Keto Stall

The weight can fall off consistently for weeks, and then something unexpected may occur: a weight-loss stall.

A weight-loss plateau can happen for many reasons: for some due to reduced activity or unconsciously consuming more calories than you burn, or the body may not need as many carbs as is being consumed.

A weight-loss stall can conjure feelings of fright and anxiety, especially in those who've tried every diet unsuccessfully and can wonder if the scale will ever start moving down again.

While a stall can be alarming and frustrating, a keto diet challenge can be the perfect jolt the body needs to kickstart weight loss again, allowing you to bust through even the most stubborn dietary plateau.

Our proven and easy 21-day keto diet challenge is expertly crafted to produce consistent and sustainable weight loss—providing you with tools and knowledge you can use long after the challenge ends.

So, if that spark of excitement about your success on keto has faded and you need to reinvigorate your faith in your ability to progress on your keto journey, consider joining the challenge and resetting your body to burn fat for fuel efficiently.

You Need to Boost Your Motivation 

Again, there's nothing like a quick win to boost one's confidence about their will to triumph their carb cravings and lose weight on keto, and our 21-day plan along with our community of committed dieters help keep you focused and encouraged.

There are thousands connected to the Konscious Keto community through our private Facebook page—a tight-knit community of keto enthusiasts. All members encourage one another and root for each others' success.

Plus, the ability to observe the before-and-after, or progress, pictures of other KK community members can remind you of what's possible if you stay the course.

#3 - Keto Meal Replacements 

Eating organic, whole foods is undoubtedly advisable on keto. However, there are times when you want to grab a quick shake and run out the door without compromising quality or nutrition.

We created our Keto Shake (available in strawberry cheesecake, chocolate, and banana brülee) with the finest protein, MCT powder, and a full-spectrum nutritional profile, to provide a complete keto meal in a single serving of the meal replacement shake.

Mapping out how much you'd like to accomplish and by when is a hallmark of a challenge like ours, which incentivizes a level of commitment and positive results that one may not otherwise experience if approaching keto without a plan or support.

Invest a little extra time up front to get a solid understanding of the process of cutting carbs and achieving nutritional ketosis, as well as what to expect from following the plan. 

The first set of weight released on keto will undoubtedly serve as all the motivation you need, along with the encouragement and example of others in the KK online community, to remain focused on achieving our health goals.
