Unlocking Your Fat Loss Door With the Ketogenic Key

The Ketogenic Key

Dr. Lori Shemek & Steve Welch: Notable Quotes

“What ketosis is doing is addressing cellular health, and that right there, is the key to everything you want in terms of optimizing health, weight, mental well-being, brain health, sleep, energy, you name it.”
– Dr. Lori Shemek

“I’m a walking, talking advertisement for our book—I do a keto-ish nutrition, I love intermittent fasting, I supplement with ketones, I love to exercise and work out, I love outdoor activity, and I’m active. I’m 56 years old, and honestly, I feel better than I felt 20 years ago.”
– Steve Welch

“The problem I see people have a lot with the ketogenic diet is that it’s very easy to overeat calories because fat is so calorie-dense, and people think, ‘well, I’ll have a snack of some nuts,’ and they won’t realize they eat double the portion.”
– Steve Welch
