Description
This course is a mixture of informative and cooking videos focused on the ketogenic diet. Cristina Ioniță, a ketogenic diet specialist, talks about the basics and the metabolic mechanisms of the diet. Viorel Copolovici, a chef, prepares keto dishes that everyone can cook at home or even order in a keto friendly restaurant.
Both instructors have gone through the ketogenic experience before deciding to create this course. Cristina has lost more than 60 pounds (about 28 kg) with the keto diet before going on to study it professionally and to become a certified ketogenic specialist. Viorel, who has already published two basic cooking techniques courses on Udemy, started to live keto in May 2018 and lost about 30 pounds (14 kg) in the first 4-5 months of diet. He is now working on his second milestone of another 20-25 pounds and you can already see the difference from his previous courses.
The course is a very dynamic and easy to digest formula of applied knowledge. You will discover how the diet works, what are its fundamental rules and processes and learn very effective ways to achieve great results by knowing what to eat, while spending a minimum amount of time in your kitchen. After you understand the principles and you decide to give it a try, you will probably discover one of the best and the wisest ways to lose weight.
However, keto works on fully customized meal plans and it requires medical supervision. Even if it has been proven that ketogenic principles have a positive impact on several important medical conditions, we do recommend two things to all the students that decide to try it:
1. Take a general blood test and get the interpretation of the results from your doctor.
2. Find a trustful and recommended ketogenic dietitian for your personalized meal plans. If you would like to work directly with Cristina, don't hesitate to contact her through Udemy and ask for advice.
Who this course is for:
- This course is dedicated to overweight individuals who want to lose weight in a smart and savoury way.
- Active people who need to improve their eating habits without giving up foods they enjoy.
- People who experienced failed diets and unbalanced eating and would like to gain back their energy and self esteem, by transforming their relationship to food into a new, sustainable, healthy one.
Instructors
Viorel is a professionally trained chef, with a long and diverse experience, prior to finding his personal mission in the kitchen.
He studied journalism, worked in marketing for more than 10 years, reaching top management positions, then chose cooking as a vocation. He ran a successful culinary blog, two restaurants (one in Bucharest and one in Bahia, Brazil) and then completed his studies at one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the world - Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute of London.
Viorel has facilitated numerous cooking demonstrations and practical workshops, both for professional cooks as well as for amateurs. He regularly hosts private lunches and dinners in his culinary studio in Bucharest and frequently facilitates team-cooking experiences for groups - large and small - in various companies.
He works closely with different corporate partners, creating experiential events with extremely diverse themes - creative pairings of wine or beer with outstanding food, exploring ethnic cuisine, discovering certain ingredients or cooking techniques.
Viorel believes that it is part of his mission to pass on his deep passion for the art of cooking, as well as the know-how he has gathered over many years of loving labour in the kitchen. This is how the Udemy course series was born.
My keto journey started almost 7 years ago, with me shedding 60 pounds and gaining energy day by day. I started to discover the benefits of the keto diet with each pound I lost and with each symptom I managed to treat just by changing my eating habits.
Now, I am a licensed dietitian with over 4 years of experience in personalized nutrition and more than 1 year in teaching nutrition classes. I love sharing the most important discoveries in my field and offering my students relevant information regarding this amazing domain.
I truly believe nutrition is enhancing every day with new, relevant studies, offering us, the professionals, the possibility to improve our customers' lives. If you want to be the best in your field, you have to read every single medical paper and try to always have the best answers.
What is knowledge without sharing it with the world though? Therefore, these online classes are created to offer you answers to some of your questions, to shed light into your actual knowledge and to help you take better decisions.
