The Keto Diet

Is the Keto diet really any different from not eating starches and sweets? Is it worth it? Should I do it?

The Keto Diet
Todd Porter & Diane Cu

Lately, I have been considering beginning a diet before I returning back to school next month, and the famous Keto diet never fails to show up on my google search. I am not looking for a major weight loss diet, but more of an… "if I gain weight while at school, it is not the end of the world" diet.

From what I have researched, the Keto diet is a way of burning the right fats- the non-carbohydrate fats- that make our bodies feel bloated and chubby. These once carbohydrate fats are thenreplaced with healthy, good fats: non-starchy veggies and lean meat and fish. Those on the Keto diet do not eat sugars, gluten (** carbs**) and high carb fruits. So, is the Keto diet really any different from just cutting starches and sweets out of your diet? At the end of the day, the right fats are burned and by way of not eating starches and sugars.

The name for the Keto diet then comes from the word Ketosis, which is the metabolic state that your body shifts into after regimenting your diet towards the keto restrictions.

All in all, I have heard fabulous things about the Keto diet, that in all experiences, have led to weight loss. Moreover than weight loss, the Keto diet makes one feel less heavy and thus happier. In this way,because the Keto diet produces results, the diet is definitey worth the try, in my perspective.

As one who is interested in adjusting my diet to be more healthy and clean for my body, I think that I should try the Keto diet. Perhaps slowly introducing the dietary change into my diet is a good idea and the way to go. Starting a new food regiment is always exciting… wish me luck!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
