If you're looking to make a change in your lifestyle to eat healthier, you might consider the keto diet. The keto (short for ketogenic) diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that has helped many lose weight and has also been shown to help some boost their ability to fight against ailments including diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, and epilepsy.

Here's how it works: When you consume more fat and fewer carbohydrates, your body is able to go into a state called ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state where your body turns fat into ketones, which help power your brain, and enable your body to burn fat faster and more efficiently. Fewer carbs in your diet mean that your blood sugar and insulin levels are lower as well, which is healthier all around. With keto, dieters avoid carbs, sugar, fruit, beans and legumes, alcohol, root vegetables, and "diet foods" that may be hiding sugar-like chemicals, and instead focus on consuming meat, low-fat vegetables, nuts, butter, cream, eggs, fish, healthy oils, avocado, and small amounts of certain fruits.

People who have adopted a keto diet have reported that the increase in protein and decrease in carbs leaves them feeling fuller for longer and more energetic, which makes the keto diet easier to stick to. They also find themselves losing weight quicker without tracking calories, in addition to easing other health concerns. If you want to learn more or you're ready to give the keto diet a shot, here are some audiobooks with information and guidance to help you. They cover everything you need—from the science and strategies behind the diet to suggested meal plans and shopping guidelines, collections of recipes, and support for eating out—to find long-term success as a keto pro, regardless of your current eating habits, lifestyle, or experience with the keto diet. 

Get started below—but please remember that it’s important to get your doctor’s input before making any changes to your diet and exercise routine. With the help of your doctor and these audio guides, you’ll be well on your way to understanding the ins and outs of the keto diet.

Remember, the keto diet may not be for everyone. Athletes and very active people may find that it doesn't work for them, and people with special dietary needs and allergies might also find it limiting. Always consult a doctor before starting a new diet to ensure you're getting the nutrients your body needs, and do your research.
