Introduction
The 28 Day Keto Challenge is an introduction to the keto diet. A keto diet, just as we’ve known, is effective in burning fat and promoting weight loss and many other health and performance benefits. Trying the keto diet but not sure if you want to commit to it long-term? I get it! Keto can offer great benefits like reducing hunger, boosting energy, improving mental clarity, and more. But if you’re unsure if you want to stick with it, here’s a 28-day keto challenge to help you achieve your goals. It’s a general idea for meals and you can google and find tons of recipes for any of the meals. Enjoy and have fun!

Conclusion
The ketogenic diet can have therapeutic effects and is being investigated for various uses. However, it is important to note that this diet must be done correctly, as improper implementation can negatively affect one’s health. Furthermore, the diet requires a significant commitment and regular evaluation. Additionally, it takes the body a minimum of two weeks to adjust to the drastic reduction in carbohydrates. Finally, the macro nutrient ratio must be kept constant to maintain the benefits of the diet over the long term.
