How does Natural Ketosis diet delivery work?

The theory is that when you stop eating starch and sugar your body will start to burn excess fat to provide itself with energy - ketosis.

There is no need to starve yourself, or replace meals with shakes. The delivered food in the diet does it all for you.

All food delivered is Natural Ketosis Whole Food and is made with all natural ingredients, no artificial sweetners or additives.

You also have the option to have your own recipes tailor made for you. Meal plans are created by the team and then emailed to you each week.

How many calories am I allowed with Natural Ketosis?

There is no specific calorie quota given, although meals are calorie counted. The plan is essentially a low carb diet with a recommendation of no more than 50-60g of carbs a day.

Natural Ketosis claim that you will also benefit from:

Weight and inch loss
Reduction in stored body fat
Increase in energy levels
Stable blood sugars
Improvement in hair, skin and nails
Feeling fuller for longer
Less sugar cravings

A typical menu for the Natural Ketosis Plan

Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner	Snacks	Treats
Seed & Nut Granola	Ham Hock Broth	Lemon Chicken with Thyme	Salt & Vinegar Pork Crunch	Caramel & Sea Salt Bar
Seed & Chocolate Granola	Tex Mex Soup	Red Thai Chicken Curry	Coconut Ultra Mix	Chocolate Brownie
Coconut & Seed Porridge	Broccoli and Blue Cheese Soup	Sweet Chilli Pork	Raspberry Nut Bar	Chocolate Orange Pudding

Breakfast is where you get most of the carbs in the diet, and as such there are nto many of them and they're rather uninteresting.

The other meals however do vary, which will help to keep the taste buds interested.

On the other hand there are no dinner options for vegetarians, and limited lunch optons.

Will Natural Ketosis Work For Me?

Following this particular plan could be problematic in the future as it is basically a low carb diet similar to Atkins.

Reducing carbohydrates in your diet entirely is extremely difficult in today’s society.

There is the temptation to revert to eating carbs after the diet ends which could mean regaining all of your lost weight.

There are also health risks linked with following these types of diet plans. Having such large quantities of protein especially if you are a sufferer of high blood pressure will put tremendous strain on your kidneys.

Because there is no way to monitor your additional eating, following this delivered food diet allows you to eat the largest quantity of food as it is not calorie controlled.

However as all of this food must be meats, eggs or dairy, if you do eat extra it will add largely to the cost.

Extra food is extra money on top of the hefty sum you would already be paying and the items allowed are all expensive.

If you are a vegetarian or vegan, Natural Ketosis diet plans will not work for you, as there is no avaliability for vegetarian/vegan dinners - however you could try the meal plans.

How much weight could I lose?

Natural Ketosis claim that you will lose a stone a month by following their diet delivery programme. That's quite high, but not totally unusual for low carb.

The problem is that much of this initial weight loss will be glycogen and water lost from your muscle tissues rather than fat.

Weight Loss Resources' View

Natural Ketosis low carb/ketosis diet will result in weight loss as we know from the similar Atkins diet.

We also know that maintaining ketosis for any period of time is near impossible, and has associated health issues (plus there’s the bad breath)!

The fact that ‘fast’ weight loss is highlighted a number of times throughout the website also rings alarm bells as rapid weight loss is not desirable for the majority of people.

Their ‘no need to exercise’ stance is probably due to the fact that without energy from carbs you would be unable to sustain and form of fitness anyway, so combined with rapid weight loss you may just end up very baggy…

The idea of ‘banning’ or ‘limiting’ carbs makes this diet rather faddy, and more likely to fail after the initial weight loss. Natural Ketosis may claim to ‘re-educate’ you, but the lessons are not on how to eat a balanced diet, which includes carbohydrates.

Ultimately, until more research is done to identify the long-term risks or benefits of low carb diets, it would be best to err on the side of caution.

If you still want to give it a go, try it for a couple of weeks at most and then transferring to a longer-term, lower-fat diet that includes a wide range of foods, including carbs!
