Best 9 Keto Zone Products & Habits to Meet Weight Goals the Month

1. A Clear & Easy Keto Plan

Sure, you can spend hours online searching for keto tips and recipes.

But especially if you’re just starting out with Keto Zone® eating, it is much easier to use an all-in-one guide.

You’re in luck. There’s one written specifically for a Keto Zone® lifestyle: Dr. Colbert’s Keto Zone Book.

From the beginning, you’ll get clear instruction on how to start a Keto Zone® lifestyle and reach a healthy weight. Not just philosophy or research (although it’s science-backed), but a complete plan.

2. MCT Oil and Fat Bombs

Medium Chain Triglycerides, or MCTs, are a special type of saturated fats that are digested easily and provide many health benefits in the body.

In fact, they aide in fat loss and energy production.

When MCT oil is obtained from foods like coconut oil, it is isolated and concentrated for maximum health benefits and a healthy weight.

MCT Oil is a must have product for your weight loss goals because it:

• Supports Heart Health. Medium chain triglycerides have been shown to improve cholesterol profiles by decreasing LDL cholesterol, decreasing the number of LDL particles, and increasing HDL cholesterol (1, 2).
• Helps the body burn fat. The most potent fatty acid in MCT oil is concentrated in MCT Oil Powder, and it helps your body burn fat as fuel rather than carbs (3,4).
• Increases ketone production and provides amazing fuel for your brain. In fact, when using the Keto Zone diet, MCT Oil will help the body produce ketones quicker. Ketones can also boost mood.
• Increases energy. Want more energy while losing fat? MCT Oil is easily digested and used by the energy-powerhouses of the cells as a sustained energy source (5).

Fortunately, there are 2 great ways to consume MCT Oil from the Keto Zone®. Try MCT Oil Softgels and MCT Oil Powder  today. Many of these Keto Zone® Fat Bomb Recipes and Tips utilize MCT Oil!

3. Ketone Strips

When aiming for the Keto Zone®, you may want to know if you’re actually in ketosis or not. An easy and inexpensive way to know is by using Ketone Strips.

When your body is utilizing fat for energy and making ketones, they are detectable in your urine. By simply using a ketone strip, you can find out if ketones are present in mere seconds.

Ketone strips take the guesswork out of Keto Zone eating.

4. Easy Starter Tips

Want real-life tips from real-life Keto Zone users? Try these! We’ve gathered some of the most effective, inexpensive, easy tips to help you in your healthy weight journey.

These tips include daily habits, keto tips, and exercise.

They’ve done it, and so can you!

5. Food Diaries

As you’ll see from the real-life tips, food diaries and carbohydrate apps can really help.

A food diary is an amazing tool for any weight loss journey. Simply write down your intake. Use an app or other resource to become familiar with carbohydrate amounts in foods. To learn more about carbs and reading food labels, check out this post.

While there’s nothing magic about food diaries, they do help by:

• Allowing for self-accountability
• Adding up the grams of carbohydrates and seeing how that affects weight loss
• Troubleshooting issues with weight loss, hunger, etc.
• Keeping a record to repeat successes and avoiding challenges

It’s easy and free to keep an online food journal or simply a written one.

6. Add Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is amazing for promoting overall health and healthy weights (5). And, it can be extremely motivating to jumpstart weight changes now.

An easy way to start intermittent fasting is to stop eating at 7:00 every night, and resume at 11:00 am every morning. Between waking up and eating at 11:00, you can have non-carb drinks such as coffee, coffee with MCT Oil and Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder, tea, or drinks that utilize healthy sugar substitutes (erythritol, stevia, etc.).

At 11:00 or so, eat a Keto lunch, and then eat your Keto dinner around 6:00. Between lunch and dinner add 1-2 Keto Zone snacks such as fat bombs or other healthy favorites.

7. Replacement Recipes for Your Favorite Foods

Do you miss some of your favorite foods? Do you crave them?

Why not replace them?

Your Keto Zone® food choices should not be boring or bland. In fact, you’ll likely find you don’t miss foods at all once you learn a few new recipes.

There are many amazingly satisfying recipes on this site. They include:

No-Bake Keto Zone Chocolate Almond Cookies

Keto Zone Lemon Curd

Keto Zone Cheesecake

In addition, the Quick and Healthy Keto Zone Cookbook is now available! And, you can find ample Keto Zone recipes here or on other Ketozone.com pages.

8. Daily, Weekly, and Overall Goals

Can you really change your weight in the next 6-8 weeks? You can. Set your goals now.

First, take time to set daily “habit goals.” These goals need to be action-based and in your control. For example:

• I will fast from 7:00 pm to 11:00 am each day.
• I will not eat more than 25 grams of net carbs per day.

Then, set weekly goals. These should also be in your control. They can include exercising 3 times per week, sticking to your daily eating goals each day, or journaling.

And lastly, set a goal overall for the next 6-8 weeks. Is your goal to lose 15 pounds? Set it and write it down.

Write all of these goals down and put the paper in a place you can read it when the going gets tough. It will keep you motivated to stay on track.

You can do it!

Your healthiest summer awaits! Here are 5 easy hacks to help you achieve your health and weight goals in the upcoming months.

5 Keto Zone Hacks for Your Healthiest Summer

1. Fill Up on Volume

When using intermittent fasting or forming new habits to eat less snacks, fill up and feel more satisfied with more volume. 

Did you know that the hormones that influence your level of hunger are largely affected by the volume of your foods, or how much your stomach is stretched?

It’s true. The more your stomach “feels” full, the more your brain tells you you are full. On the other hand, if you eat very small-volume foods, even if they are high in calories, your brain will not register as feeling satisfied.

What’s more, fibers, fats and proteins contribute to the “full-feeling” more than simple carbs because they remain in your stomach longer.

Use this Hack Now: Make Keto Zone Shake Chia Pudding. Mix 1 scoop Keto Zone Shake (Rich Chocolate Flavor) and ¾ cup low-carb milk of choice. Stir well. Add 3-4 tablespoons Divine Health Living Chia with Probiotics and mix completely. Let chia swell at room temperature for about 5 minutes, then mix it again to ensure no clumps form.Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to thicken, or overnight.

2. Add Instant Energy for a Keto Zone Hack

In general, it takes several factors for the human body to feel “energized.” It needs either ketones or calories, adequate rest, and healthy cells to use the substrates.

However, there are a few hacks to the human body that can speed up an energized feeling. 

First, there’s a special kind of fat that actually bypasses the need for bile and fat-enzymes. It is digested and used quickly for energy by the human body. It is called medium chain triglycerides.

Second, caffeine is an amazing compound that crosses the blood brain barrier, increases alertness, reduces sense of effort while performing activities, and increases feelings of energy.

Third, exogenous ketones increase ketone production in your body while you are entering or maintaining ketosis. In addition, Keto Zone Instant Ketones provides the electrolytes you need to maintain a healthy hydration balance and avoid the keto flu.

Use this Hack Now: Mix 1 scoop Keto Zone Instant Ketones (Limeade) and 8-12 oz. green or black tea. Take Keto Zone MCT oil capsules with it! Enjoy this quick morning or afternoon pick-me-up!

3. Intermittent Fasting and Keto Zone Coffee 

It’s no secret that intermittent fasting is one of the most effective Keto hacks. By simply not consuming foods for 15-16 hours per day, you can significantly increase your success with producing Ketones, achieving and healthy weight, and experiencing many health benefits.

To learn more about intermittent fasting, check out this article. In addition, here’s how Keto Zone Coffee affects fasting.

Use this Hack Now: Adhere to a plan of fasting from 7pm to 11am each day. You can actually drink decaf tea and/or Keto Zone Coffee (with Keto Zone Collagen and Keto Zone MCT Oil Powder) while fasting. Then, eat great Keto Zone foods from 11am-7pm each day.

4. Hydrate Adequately Each Day

One key to Keto Zone success is hydration. The process of producing ketones can actually cause dehydration in the body, so it’s more important than ever to hydrate well. What’s more, adequate hydration is simply good for your entire body including your skin, brain, organs, and everything else.

Use this Hack Now: Aim to drink 64-80 ounces of water each day. If you exercise, add 24-32 ounces of water per hour of exercise. Also, add 1-2 servings of Keto Zone Instant Ketones (Limeade) per day to add electrolytes and ketones!

5. Focus on your Long-Term Health Rather than just Weight

Remember, this is a marathon and not a sprint. Your weight, while important, is just one piece to the overall health picture. As you use Keto Zone, pay attention to how you’re improving your health, from head to toe, and let this continue to motivate you forward. In addition, your body may be changing for the better while you lose fat, but sometimes it won’t show up on the scale right away. Keep going. The health journey is worth it.

Whether you acknowledge this day or not, it’s also just a good time to reflect on your own health jouney after settling into the new year. 

There’s never a bad time to get healthier. World Health Day is a great reminder that your health and worldwide health is one of the greatest gifts you’ll ever have. Let’s maintain it, improve it, and fortify it. Here are  7 healthy habits for this year’s World Health Day.

7 Habits to Boost Health on World Health Day

1. More Sleep

If you’re like me, you’ve likely thought of sleep as a waste of time at some point in your life. You may think the “early bird gets the worm” or you need to take advantage of every hour. You may think there’s not enough time in the day for everything you need to get done. Sleep only robs you of productivity.

Unfortunately, these outlooks are erroneous and can cause significant harm. Turns out, sleep is the only time your body and brain can heal itself fully, and it’s necessary for good health. In fact, your lymph system depends on your sleeping hours to support healthy immune function and brain health. It is significantly productive.

What’s more, when you don’t get enough sleep, your waking hours decrease in productivity. Lack of sleep actually contributes to many health issues (1) as well, and it’s tough to “live well” when health fails. 

Each 24 hours, aim for at least 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep. If you find you need more wake hours to get everything done, try to reduce your daily obligations or time-wasters during your day to make time for sleep.

2. Less Stress

If there’s anything we’ve learned in the last few years, it’s that stress can build in all different circumstances. Stress can build when we have too much to do. It can build when our activities and social lives are halted. It can build when we are healthy, but fearful about unknowns.

Since stress is a reality no matter our circumstances, we must take action to deal with it in healthy ways. Reduce unnecessary stress, balance our lives, and give our bodies healthy outlets every day. 

Why? 

When stress and cortisol build up, we feel a cascade of negative effects. These effects include fatigue and overwhelm. Chronic high stress can even affect your health (2).

What can you do? First, use daily destress tools, like these, to reduce stress and feel more energy.

Then, add Nature’s Best Stress Relief. Amazingly, there’s an all-natural oil that can fight and reduce stress. Nano-particle hemp oils can help you feel more energy by supporting stable moods (3), stress relief and normalized cortisol levels, healthy sleep habits (4), and healthy brain and nervous system functions (5). The highest-quality nano-particle hemp oil available is Dr. Colbert’s Nano-Science Hemp Oil. Get yours today!  

3. Greens, Greens, & Greens

Ever feel like you can’t wait for summer just because you crave the seasonal fresh greens and herbs? Can’t wait to plant your garden? Great! You are on track to form one of our 7 healthiest habits for World Health Day.

In fact, when you add more greens and herbs to your diet, you can consume the same component plants used to grow and flourish: chlorophyll. In addition, vibrant and brightly colored vegetables and fruits offer a vast array of phytochemicals, antioxidants, and other health-promoting nutrients. Try:

• Delicious Fresh Herb Sauces. A delicious parsley-based sauce like Keto Zone®
•  Chimichurri or Fresh Basil Pesto is perfect for any summer meal!
• Vibrant Salads and Green Vegetables. Greens are amazingly nutritious foods that are highly anti-inflammatory and health-promoting (6). Try eating a green salad with heart healthy extra-virgin olive oil every day.
• Fresh Low-Carb Summer Fruits. With a bit of portion control, you can add more colors from fruits to your greens and still fit into a Keto Zone® lifestyle. Berries support healthy blood pressure (7), deliver loads of antioxidants, and promote overall health. Lemons and limes are also great for you, adding vitamin C, antioxidants, and more. 
• Divine Health Organic Fermented Green Supremefood® and  Organic Red Supremefood®. A great way to add even more organic greens and fruits to your diet is through Divine Health’s delicious organic fruit and vegetable powders. They are great-tasting and easy to add to water, tea, smoothies, and more!

What’s more, when you plant a garden and grow greens, you add to the health of your local environment as well!

4. A Healthy Weight

For millions of adults, acheiving a healthy weight is much easier said than done. However, with a Keto Zone® plan and lifestyle, a healthy weight is attainable this year. Kick start your new life and weight on World Health Day with these Keto Zone® options: 

• Purchase the Keto Zone® Starter Kit: It includes Dr. Colbert’s Keto ZoneDiet Book (Comprehensive Guide), Keto Zone Cookbook, Keto Zone® Instant Ketones, Keto Zone® MCT Oil  Powder, Ketosis Test Strips and Keto Zone® Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder!
• Join the 21-Day Keto Zone® Challenge. It’s free and will help guide you with tips, recipes, and more.
• Read through our Keto Zone® Start Guide to prepare.
• Join the Keto Zone® Facebook Group for an online community, recipes, tips, and more.

This Keto Zone lineup will teach you the basics of Keto Zone, how to make it a healthy lifestyle and maintain your weight goals, and how to continue it for years to come.

5. Move Your Body & Get Outside

While you may have always thought of exercise as a weight loss tool, it’s actually so much more than that. It is a crucial health habit that supports cellular health, mental health, and physical health. Exercise and movement go beyond the scale to improve mood, outlook, and health.

In fact, if you start a habit of daily exercise AND do so outside, you’ll get double the benefit. You’ll:

• Reduce Sedentary Hours. It’s important to stand, walk, and be active as much as possible. If your work requires that you sit, break it up to improve metabolism outcomes. One study found that getting up occasionally from sitting improved self-perceived energy and vigor, mood, levels of fatigue, and food cravings (8).
• Get Sunshine. Natural sunlight is one of nature’s best mood lifters and energizers. In fact, sunlight has been shown to decrease depressed moods and increase serotonin levels (9). 
• De-Stress. Studies have found that activity outside improves health markers and supports healthy cortisol. This means less tension, fatigue, and depressed moods.
• Take Advantage of Evening Hours. Try getting outside for an evening walk after dinner. First, walking always burns calories and supports heart health (10). Moreover, timing a walk after dinner can help normalize post-meal blood sugars, reduce evening stress, and encourage optimal sleep.
• Improve Sleep. When you get outside during daylight hours, you support your body’s 24-hour daily cycle and circadian rhythms. This fights the issues upon us from too much artificial light and promotes healthier sleep habits.
• Contribute to A Loved One’s Health. Getting outside for a walk, bike ride or hike can also be a great way to encourage others to get healthy. Invite a friend, neighbor or family member.
• Stay the Course. Amazingly, it may also help you exercise more consistently. One recent study concluded that men and women over 66 years who exercised outside reported higher levels of total activity per week than inside-exercisers (11).

6. Drink Up & Hydrate Better

Did you know that dehydration promotes feelings of unhealth, feeling overwhelmed, experiencing fatigue, and feeling mentally foggy? Amazingly, dehydrated adults often feel more stress and have more cortisol (12)! Unfortunately, most adults function in a state of dehydration each day..

This one’s an easy fix! Try to drink 32-48 ounces of water by noon, and another 32-48 ounces of water by 6pm each day. Add Instant Ketones for electrolytes and a ketone boost. If you exercise, add drink 16-24 additional ounces per hour of exercise.

7. Faith, Gratitude, and Optimism

Lastly, focus more on mental health this World Health Day. About 80% of the research on faith, gratitude, and optimism and their effects are in the realm of mental health. Since much of a faith practice is internal, in mind and Spirit, it makes sense that a faith practice would impact mental health the most.

They are effective.

Daily practices of faith, prayer, and gratitude can improve and encourage optimism. They are correlated with overall better health (13). Specifically, studies show greater:

• Coping with Adversity
• Positive Emotions
• Well-Being and Happiness
• Hope and Optimism
• Meaning and Purpose
• Self-Esteem
• Sense of Control

These effects are significant and can change your life. Start now.

Bonus Habit: Community

You’re on the path to making your own body healthier. Now what?

What’s one thing you can do between now and next World Health Day to support the health of others in your own community, state, country, or world? Can you contribute to a community garden or school’s backpack program for those who don’t have enough food? How about forming a walking or exercise group with others from your church or neighborhood? Can you support charities that feed those struggling with hunger? Or organizations that dig well so everyone can have clean water?

Amazingly, when you go beyond your own health crusade and support others, you’ll enjoy better health for yourself as well.

How to Make Habits that Boost Health Stick

Habits are best added one at a time until you master each. To make these habits stick, start by adding justone per week over the next 7 weeks. Focus on each for 7 days, and then add the next. You can make small changes to super charge your summer, and then continue them to turn your healthy habits into a healthy lifestyle.

Bottom Line

Why not add 8 habits that boost health on World Health Day? There’s health to gain, and nothing to lose. Add sleep. Reduce stress. Add greens. Acheive a healthy weight. Exercise outdoors. Drink more water. Practice faith, gratitude and optimism. Then, add a habit of supporting others to healthier lives as well. This is a great start to better health!

In fact, studies show that even modest weight loss helps normalize blood sugars, blood pressure and cholesterol (1). Additionally, being overweight or obese can impair immune function and increase the risk of severe infection (2). But, weight loss can help.

There’s little doubt that the last 18 months have wreaked havoc on many people’s health, both physically and mentally. Stress, isolation, and loss of routine have made it difficult for many to stick with healthy eating and exercise. 

Now’s the time to fight back. You can take back your health and lose weight, if needed. Dedicate the next 6 weeks to get back on track for good!

Why Have So Many Gained Weight?

There are many reasons people have gained weight in the last 18 months. They include:

• Carbohydrate-rich sugary foods are often eaten during high-stress or depressed moods. For those who are already fighting an unhealthy weight, elevated blood sugars, or insulin resistance, carbs and sweets are a downward spiral of fat storage and more insulin resistance. In fact, the more carbs we eat, the more fat we tend to store. The more fat we store, the more resistant our cells become to insulin causing us to store more fat. It’s easy to see how this can become a huge issue with emotional or stress-eating. Of course, the Keto Zone® omits the carbs and sweets for healthy weight changes!
• Homeostasis calls our bodies. You may have been working on lifestyle changes and weight loss recently. However, more drastic ones often work better (at least initially) to fight weight gain. There’s often a strong genetic pull towards a certain body type or body weight. Studies actually show that various neuroendocrine, metabolic, and behavioral mechanisms are set in motion to counteract weight-loss actions we take (3, 4). To break the chains and genetic pull, you can take a strong action like getting into the Keto Zone to experience weight loss. 
• Frustration can easily set in when you don’t see results. If you’ve gained weight, it can be frustrating to start all over again. You may have had momentum when life felt less stressful. Don’t give up. The Keto Zone lifestyle produces results effectively and efficiently.

4. Get Rid of the Sugars in Your House and Still Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

If you now work from home, you face food temptations around you all day long. If your cupboards are loaded with high-carbohydrate convenience foods, it can be a tough battle!
