The Goldilocks Effect.
This strict high-fat, low-carb diet denies the body of carbs as a main source of energy — and forces the body to burn fat for fuel. It’s a great way to lose weight fast but… Going keto also often results in gastrointestinal discomfort, low energy, and moodiness— known as the “keto flu”—which makes the diet and its proven results hard to sustain for most people.
How do you make keto for over 40 years old work?
Worse yet…
In the Keto Green 16 Program these vegetables listed below are highly alkaline:
- beet greens
- cucumber
- kelp and other sea vegetables
- Maca
- parsley
- radishes
- spinach
- sprouts
- keto alkaline broth

Dr. Anna’s book and program – The Keto Green 16 really speaks to me as she discusses the importance of eating real food to balance your blood sugar and alkalinity but also combining the nutrition with the health building lifestyle habits as I discuss in my own comprehensive “The WHOLESTIC Method” health building coaching program.
How do you know if you are alkaline and not too acidic?
As with everything in our body… what we eat, drink, take, and do impacts our body balance or homeostasis. We all need to find that right amount to create a positive effect…not too little and not too much is what I call “The Goldilocks Effect”
As with everything in our body… we don’t know what we don’t know so we should always start by TESTING instead of GUESSING our imbalances – including our alkalinity.
Anna Cabeca’s Keto-Green Diet, focused on finding the right balance in the foods we eat as with eating low-carbohydrate alkaline vegetables and not eating acid-promoting foods like “white devils” processed foods as white sugar and white flour plus gluten and caffeine.
I hate to label how I eat… low carb, keto, keto carnivore, primal paleo, or ancestral. Ideally, I just like to say that “I choose to eat real food that nourishes my body (cells) and provides me with energy to thrive each day!”
There’s no question that “going keto” really works. This strict high-fat, low-carb diet denies the body of carbs as a main source of energy — and forces the body to burn fat for fuel.

Worse yet…
The keto diet can have devastating health consequences for women over 40!
The fatty foods commonly eaten as part of the keto diet — bacon, cheese, pork rinds, protein bars, and packaged “keto” foods (knowns as “dirty keto” foods) — are often very acidic.
That’s why if you stay on a pure keto diet too long, your body may become overly acidic, and eventually result in a condition called chronic low-grade acidosis that can lead to…
- Decreased bone health
- Decreased lean muscle mass
- Increased pain and inflammation
- Increased risk of disease
- Disrupted hormonal cycles
Dr. Anna has modified the traditional keto diet to make it safer, easier, and more effective for women over 40!
Now this is where I am …as I just turned 49 this past month and now on a mission to improve the aging process and live my best life ever!
Who is Dr. Anna Cabeca?
“Over the past 20 years I’ve served 10,000+ women in my private practice as an OBGYN — and millions more through my books, online videos and articles. When menopause caused me to gain 20 pounds (almost overnight!) I turned to the keto diet for help. It was great at first… but I couldn’t stand all the awful side effects that came with staying in ketosis long-term. After several years of research, I’ve figured out the “green” tweak that makes the keto diet safer, easier, and more effective for women over 40. Now I’ve compiled everything you need to know to get started into this gorgeous eBook.” – learn more here
