The Ketogenic Diet: What to Know
What is Ketosis, and How Does It Work?
Ketosis is a metabolic state where your body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This happens when carbohydrate intake is so low that your body’s glycogen stores (its usual energy source) are depleted. In response, your liver begins breaking down fat into molecules called ketone bodies, which provide energy for your brain and body.
Ketosis can occur under several conditions, such as:
Following a very low-carb, high-fat diet (a ketogenic diet).
Prolonged fasting or caloric restriction.
Engaging in extended physical activity without sufficient carbohydrate intake.
Adding Positive Psychology to Weight Management
Have you ever felt that weight loss is a never-ending struggle?
You’re not alone. For many, traditional approaches to weight management can feel restrictive, exhausting, and demoralizing. But what if the key to lasting success lies not in focusing on what you can’t do, but in what you can do, and strengths you already have within you?
This is where Positive Psychology comes in: a science-based approach that helps you focus on strengths, well-being, and flourishing. By integrating Positive Psychology into our iDiet Intensive program, we’ve crafted a new way to approach weight management—one that fosters joy, resilience, and meaningful change.

We are often asked: "Who is iDiet for?" It’s an important question.
Our program is designed for anyone looking to lose weight, and typically people who choose to join iDiet set a goal of between 15 and 30 pounds. Many join iDiet during a health scare — perhaps after a concerning lab result, or a doctor's warning about high blood pressure, or high blood sugar, or cholesterol. Others might be motivated by joint pain or a moment of self-reflection — or catching themself in a dressing-room mirror.

10 Alternatives to Stress Eating
Stressful feelings are all part of life — that we all experience. Yet they trigger a release of adrenaline and cortisol — our body’s natural stress hormones. Aside from getting us ready to fight or flee, these hormones temporarily raise blood sugar levels, which, over time, may lead to greater hunger. Chronic stress can also interfere with digestion, sleep, and immune function. And stressful thoughts interfere with the more creative, resourceful, and logical parts of your brain that can help you problem-solve.

Summary: Want to Lose Weight? What You Need to Know about Eating and Exercise
What you eat is more important than how much you exercise. Exercise is not the most important thing to focus on when you want to lose weight — although it has numerous other health benefits, including maintaining a healthy weight. As Dr. Roberts’ lab has proved, what you eat and how much you eat play a substantially greater role in determining whether you shed kilograms. But her research has gone much deeper, showing that different people lose weight more effectively with different foods. This realization allows us to create personalized weight-loss plans for individuals that work better than any one-size-fits-all advice.
What is balanced eating, and can it help with weight control?
Balanced eating refers to a dietary approach that ensures you are consuming a variety of foods in the right proportions to meet your nutritional needs. The goal is to provide your body with all the essential nutrients—proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals—while maintaining an appropriate caloric intake.
