The keto diet has exploded in popularity over the years. Personally, I started following keto and teaching it back in 2013. Ever since there have been upgrades to this way of living. I have taken over 5,000 students through my Keto Kamp Academy, and I’ve discovered 5 major changes with keto that you need to know. I just released a brand new video where I reveal the 5 MAJOR changes in keto. The first major change: Protein is the most important macronutrient on keto, not fat. The second major change: Stop consuming almonds, kale and spinach on keto… The third major change is that not all keto friendly foods are healthy friendly. The fourth major change is that men should do keto differently than women.  The fifth major change is that you don’t need to (nor should you) do keto forever.  📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.
