It’s one of the hottest fitness and diet trends of the last few years—because it works. Eating a high-fat diet, with few if any refined carbs and as little sugar as possible, will switch on a fat-burning system in the cells. This gets your body lean and keeps your weight stable without making you hungry.

The Keto Diet is a natural way to literally reprogram your metabolism. You’ll ultimately feel better and perform better, and your body fat will plummet. Everyone from LeBron James to self-help guru Tim Ferriss has famously lost weight via keto.

Getting your body to enter full ketosis takes a lot of effort, though. You must eliminate from your diet all bread, sugar, pasta, fruit, starchy vegetables, and sugary drinks including fruit juice—essentially everything that isn’t meat or a non-starchy vegetable. It’s a complete lifestyle and dietary change that only gets harder as you do it.

It takes serious dedication to drop your daily total carb intake to below 50 grams (or 20–30g of net carbs, which are sans fiber), the equivalent of a single cup of brown rice. Check the label of nearly any sports drink, and it’s most likely loaded with natural or added sugar. Go to the grocery store and the labels are awash with the message of “low fat,” “no fat,” or “zero fat.”

This Keto Meal Balanced Shake by Garden of Life ($30; was $49) is perfect. It is expertly formulated with responsibly sourced organic grass-fed butter, which is a clean fuel for the brain. It also has grass-fed whey protein, organic tapioca fiber, and 1.5 billion CFUs of the probiotic lactobacillus plantarum, to help support digestion.

It contains no added sugars and is lightly sweetened only with organic stevia. This product is Non-GMO, certified gluten-free, keto- and paleo-friendly, and certified kosher.

A great alternative to soy and whey protein, it supports a ketogenic and paleo lifestyle. And it’s perfect for a pre-workout supplement to enhance physical performance and boost mental brain alertness. And besides, everyone knows collagen is an important nutrient. It’s needed to maintain strong bones and healthy joints, because it repairs connective tissue so you can move with more flexibility and ease.
