Keto and Prolonged Sitting: How I Manage Weight and Wellness

"Hey there, fellow desk dwellers! Ever wondered how your diet affects your health during those long hours of sitting? Let's dive into the world of keto and how it can help us combat the effects of sitting too much, including its link to weight gain. Here’s my personal guide to staying healthy and productive even when you're mostly seated." - Dr. Oscar Tong. 

The Challenge of Prolonged Sitting

Let's be real—many of us spend way too much time sitting, whether at work, studying, or binge-watching our favourite shows. It’s no secret that sitting for long periods isn’t great for our health. It can lead to weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and even more serious health issues if left unchecked.

How Keto Can Help

1. Supports Metabolism: Keto is awesome because it helps regulate blood sugar levels and how our bodies use insulin. This is especially important when you're sitting for hours on end—it keeps your metabolism humming along smoothly.

2. Burns Fat for Fuel: By cutting down on carbs and upping healthy fats, keto encourages your body to burn stored fat for energy. This not only helps prevent weight gain but also keeps your energy levels stable throughout the day.

3. Fights Inflammation: Keto has this cool anti-inflammatory effect, which can help ease the aches and stiffness that come with sitting too much. It’s like giving your body a soothing, internal massage.

Practical Tips for Keto and Sitting

1. Stay Hydrated: Water is your best friend. It keeps everything moving smoothly, even when you’re not.

2. Move a Bit: Even if it’s just standing up every hour or doing a quick stretch, moving around a bit breaks up all that sitting time.

3. Eat Smart: Fill up on keto-friendly foods like leafy greens, nuts, and avocados. They're packed with nutrients that keep your body happy and healthy. No time to cook? Try our Keto Ready Meals. 

4. Try Keto Gummies: Our Keto Gummies keep your body in ketosis (an improved metabolic state) even when you are asleep, let alone sitting for long periods in your desk chair.
