Keto and Healthy Living (MY EXPERIMENT WITH PROBIOTICS) by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik

          WELCOME TO MY BLOG ABOUT OUR KETO LIFESTYLE AND HEALTHY LIVING

Though I love our Keto Lifestyle that my wife Annie and I have adopted as part of our lives I am often wondering what else can be done for those of you who want a Healthy Lifestyle but may not think Keto is  for you. We are always learning and finding ways to improve our health through eating foods we love.

Annie and I have had amazing results from going KETO and we wish to share some of OUR STORY with you so that you can live a happy healthy live just by eating good foods.

In my last blog I discussed what they call GUT BUGS  (click here to read that blog!)

WHAT ARE PROBIOTICS:

We humans have millions of bacteria as part of our human DNA probiotics are live microorganisms with claims they provide health benefits when consumed.

WHAT FOODS HAVE PROBIOTICS:

Most fermented foods naturally contain probiotics, or have them added into them including yogurt, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, pickles, miso, tempeh, kimchi, sourdough bread, and some cheeses.

 I decided to do a little experimenting on myself with drinking yogurt with probiotics.

To stay on Keto I had to find a product with a small amount of sugar or no sugar Activia makes one that has 3 grams of sugar, and another brand called Cocoyo also has 3 grams of sugar. 

All the other brands I found had way more sugar.

I decided I would try my experiment for 7 days drinking one Activia per day.

Amazingly by the third day I was burning fat again as I lost three pounds where as I had been stuck on the same weight with Keto. I was not really worried but sometimes you can stall out on Keto as far as weight loss goes.

I fell really good lots of energy, getting plenty of sleep, and my body was disposing waste as normal. So far I had not seen any other side effects. I completed the week and decided to countinue the experiment for one more week.

I noticed one benefit my cravings for sweets lowered , and my snacking at night time seemed to diminish.

There are some supplements out there but I have told you in my past blogs I am not big on supplements.

More research and studies are being done by leading scientist and doctors and health professionals to fund out exactly how probiotics  are linked to human health.
