I have been super excited for the Happy Keto Body program to launch, and now I'm going to share with you my thoughts on this new how-to-eat-keto-for-women online class.
I'll answer these questions:
What is Happy Keto Body?
Who is Happy Keto Body designed for?
What results can women expect on the program?
What will I eat?
What will I learn?
And more.
I'll also give you tips on how to rock the Happy Keto Body program if you decide it's right for you.
You can also read about my weekly Happy Keto Body journey in my series on Plan a A Healthy Life. I have a post every single week for all 12 weeks of my Happy Keto Body journey.
Happy Keto Body Review Week 0: Prepare for a Successful Start - This post includes how I planned for a successful start to the program. You can use the strategies I shared to help you start any healthy eating plan.
Do you need a little help doing keto?
Do you feel frustrated with your results? Do you need a program that not only gives you recipes and meal plans, but also helps you tailor keto to your body and your personal tastes?
Happy Keto Body is an online 12 week video course I went through to learn keto.
Before I did Happy Keto Body, my keto information came from random info on the web or Pinterest. And I felt frustrated because it wasn't working for me.
But Happy Keto Body is doctor-approved, holistic keto program for women. You'll learn how to balance your hormones, reset your metabolism, lose weight and boost your energy WITHOUT lowering your carbs to dangerous levels, limiting your veggies, or eating pounds of bacon and cheese.

What is the Happy Keto Body program?
Happy Keto Body is a new 12-week, doctor-approved keto program. It was designed by best-selling author Leanne Vogel to be a complete keto resource guide. She will teach you how to eat keto, and how to modify it for your own personal body and health issues. You'll discover how to reset your metabolism, learn to listen to your body, uncover all your healing possibilities and become a fabulous fat-fueled female.
Happy Keto Body is an online course. Meaning you will have access to your own personal digital "classroom" full of videos, audio, and PDF guides and worksheets. It is all done on your own time, at your own pace.
The program is broken down into twelve weekly modules. You focus on one subject each week, with its own videos, support materials, and trainings. What I love about this approach is that you're not overwhelmed with learning everything in the entire world about keto all at once, you know?
[Tweet "There's a new 12 week keto program - check out this review!"]
Contributing to the program is Dr. Nina Lewis-Larsson (a certified Naturopathic Doctor), who shares the science behind the keto diet so you not only rock the plan, but understand the effect of keto, and the foods you eat, on your body.
In Happy Keto Body, Leanne takes you from the beginning of your keto journey, through life-long keto bliss – dealing with every issue/ problem/ objection/ mistake under the sun.
She’ll show you how to eat to fuel your brain, support your sex-y hormones, and surround yourself with meals that will make your friends want to go keto and your doctors stand in awe of your super strong healthy body.
Who is Happy Keto Body designed for?
Women. Women who want to end the obsession with food and fuel their bodies with healthy, nutritious food and reach a healthy body weight.
It's for you if you’ve ever been stuck on a weight loss plateau and wondered how to bust through….
It's for you if you've wanted to know how to eat to support your hormones and create balance in your body….
It's for you if you are struggling with blood sugar issues, like pre-diabetes...
It's for you if you’ve ever felt isolated and alone, frustrated, bored with meals, unsure of how to customize keto to fit your life….
It's for you if you've tried keto before, but you haven't been successful.
What kind of results have women on Happy Keto Body gotten?
While the Happy Keto Body online program is brand new, Leanne Vogel has been helping thousands of women reach their goals using a ketogenic diet. Here are some results ladies just like you, have experienced:
Weight loss
Healed their crazy PMS
Improved their sleep
Balanced their hormones
Ditched the acne and got clearer, brighter, smoother skin
Put an end to carb cravings & stopped bingeing
Finally busted through weight loss plateaus
Stopped starving themselves on low-calorie diets
Happy Keto Body put an end to my binge eating.
After following the Happy Keto Body program myself, the most dramatic result I personally experienced was an end to cravings and an end to my binge eating. I have struggled with cravings and binge eating for YEARS. My out-of-control eating, mostly in secret at night, has been not only the cause of weight gain but also tremendous emotional distress. If you are a binge eater you know what I’m talking about. The constant negative dialogue we have with ourselves. Swearing we won’t do it again, only to seemingly eat like a freaking zombie once we put the kids to bed. Then beating ourselves up about it with thoughts like “you’re a pig, you suck,” “you’ll never control your eating,” “no wonder you’re fat” and more awful self-talk.
For the first time in forever I feel like I can actually listen to and trust my body. And it would not have been possible when I was eating the high-carb Standard American Diet. You know, all the foods that taste so good but f*ck with our body and hormones.
How long is the Happy Keto Body program?
It is a 12 week program and you can start as soon as you purchase. If you purchase the VIP plan (like I did) or the Lifetime Access plan, you will have access to the materials forever.
Having lifetime access is super important because there is so much valuable information and helpful content that it is almost impossible to “digest” it all at once. But when you go through the program, definitely schedule time every day to watch the videos and consume the material.
What will I eat on Happy Keto Body?
Lots of good, whole, delicious food. One of the reasons I like Happy Keto Body, versus a generic keto plan, is that the focus is on real foods. Not processed low-carb bars and snacks. Not all-you-can-eat cheese and bacon.
Here are foods you will enjoy on Happy Keto Body:
Lots of healthy fats and oils, like coconut oil, avocado, olives, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, MCT oil, nut butters, coconut butter, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, ghee, extra-virgin olive oil, sunflower seeds, coconut milk, etc.
Proteins like beef (and hooray for fatty cuts!), chicken thighs, salmon, pork, eggs, brisket, steak, bacon, lamb, pork, etc.
Low carb veggies and some low carb fruits, like kale, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, raspberries, onions, eggplant, zucchini, blackberries, bell peppers, etc.
Extras and supplements, like bone broth, coffee, pork rinds, fresh herbs, cacao, beef jerky, dark chocolate, sauerkraut, vinegar, teas, etc.
So many delicious recipes with the Happy Keto Body program! You’ll also receive meal plans and shopping lists.
Does Happy Keto Body come with meal plans and recipes?
Yes!! You will receive a printable 69-page PDF Mini Cookbook with loads of recipes, like:
Bacon Crackers
MCT Guacamole
One-Pot Hamburger Dinner
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Walnut "Cheese" (my favorite!)
Salmon Cakes with Dill Cream Sauce
Bacon-Wrapped Mini Meatloaves
Rhubarb Microwave Cakes, and many more
The Mini Cookbook also has three weeks of meal plans complete with shopping lists!
What will I learn in Happy Keto Body?
Ummm, you will learn LOTS! You will learn the basics about eating keto. How to monitor your body. How to address health concerns you might have, like PMS, perimenopause, autoimmune issues.
The Happy Keto Body program has over 21 hours of online video content. Each of the twelve weeks has a theme, as shown in the graphic above.
Some of the video topics are:
What to Eat on Keto
Food Quality
All About Carbs
Busting Through Weight Plateaus
Curb Cravings
Customizing Your Keto Plan
I'm Having Problems!
Junk Science vs. the Real Deal
Body Kindness for Ongoing Success
Self-Care, Stress & Its Impact on Health
How Keto Affects PMS, PCOS, Menopause & More
Gut Imbalances & Helpful Tips
And so much more.
I was amazed at how the content came at just the right time. It really is presented in an order that makes total sense for a keto beginner. Or for anyone who needs to tailor their keto eating to fit their own personal life and body. You will be surprised that once you start questioning something, boom! that subject comes up in the weekly content.
I'm busy .... how can I make time for this? (And tips to make it happen.)
If you choose either the Lifetime Access or VIP access plan you have, well, lifetime access to the Happy Keto Body program. This means you can take it at your own pace, stress free.
That said, it's easy to buy a program, or a book, or join a gym and never get results, am I right?
I'm all about planning a healthy life. So for you to get the best results, you need to intentionally plan to make this program work for you.
Tips to rock the Happy Keto Body Program:
Get out your planner. If you don't have one shame on you you can pick up a printable planner here.
Schedule time to watch the videos and take notes. This isn't school, but it is important to understand why you are eating what you're eating, right? And how foods can impact your health.
Schedule time on your planner to create a meal plan and shopping list. (It's super simple with the three week meal plans right inside the program.)
Schedule time each day to track your food, if you so desire. A food journal is optional, but highly recommended. I sit down with my Printable 12 Week Keto Journal a few times each day to log my food, water, and how I'm feeling.
Make YOU a priority. If you invest in the Happy Keto Body, please don't later decide you are too busy to work the program. Your body and your health are too important.
I outlined EXACTLY how I planned to have an amazing start to the Happy Keto Body program and the step-by-step system I followed in this blog post: How to Plan for an Awesome Start
I've failed on (insert name of the zillions of diet programs you've tried before). How do I know Happy Keto Body is for me?
You don't. At least not until you try it. Keto has worked for thousands of women, just like you. But I truly believe there is no one right solution. We are all beautifully unique.
For me, Happy Keto Body was exactly what I needed. It has all the information I need to truly understand how to eat keto and WHY it is best for my body. It doesn’t have rigid rules and gives you tips and techniques to tailor this eating approach to fit my life and my body. By committing to Happy Keto Body I put an end to my cravings and binge eating. That, my friends, is worth its weight in gold.
The cool thing is you can try the program out for 30 days and, if it is not giving you the results you want, you can request a refund. (Full details are on the Happy Keto Body sales page.)
Should I choose the VIP option?
I did, but it is totally your choice. If you choose the Happy Keto Body VIP option you will get the ultimate VIP treatment:
Monthly Group Coaching Calls. This is your opportunity to ask questions, get personalized advice, and motivation from Leanne and Dr. Nina. All calls will be recorded so you can access them at any time.
Exclusive VIP Community Forum. A special community with other keto VIP ladies, plus Leanne and Dr. Nina and special guest coaches will be inside the group during the week to answer questions and offer support.
14 VIP Expert Videos. Get even more video content, such as: how keto affects your gut, holistic beauty swaps to avoid harmful toxins, all about blood sugar, insulin & diabetes, graceful aging for women, and more.
Updated Content Beyond the 12 Weeks. Members can access freshly updated core videos, interviews, and bonus materials multiple times per year.
How much does Happy Keto Body cost?
There are three options. Choose what works best for you.
3 Month Access
You have the entire 12 week program and access to this program for 14 weeks. Includes a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. $249 USD.
Lifetime Access
The entire 12 week program, but you have forever to access it. This is great for busy ladies who want to work the program at their own pace. You also have a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee plus updated content beyond the 12 weeks. $297 USD.
VIP Access
This is the option I choose. It just makes good sense. You have the entire 12 week program, lifetime access, the 30 day money back guarantee, updated content beyond the 12 weeks, monthly live group coaching calls, an exclusive community forum, and 14 VIP expert videos. Cost is $397 USD.
I chose the VIP option because I want lifetime access. I also want the additional accountability and support of the community forum and Leanne's live group coaching calls. I wanted the opportunity to have some of my personal questions answered. I also really wanted the bonus content, like the training on blood sugar & diabetes, and on aging gracefully for women.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros:
1 - Happy Keto Body is focused on wellness, not just weight loss. If you've read my blog for awhile, you know I have reviewed programs in the past that are weight loss focused. Programs that show dramatic before and after pictures. Programs that make it seem like your weight or your physical appearance are the end goal.
I'll admit, I bought into that mentality for awhile. Until obsessing about every morsel of food drove me absolutely batshit crazy. Until the body I saw in the mirror was never thin enough, or sculpted enough, or it didn't look like the 20 year old success story the program showed me.
2 - You don't have to obsessively track your macros. You are given two different tracking methods to use, if you choose (and I am tracking to start), but you have the option to skip logging your food. It's about what works best for you.
3 - You are given the information in small chunks. It's so easy to be overwhelmed with too much data. Give it to me in small, easily digestible (yes, pun intended) amounts, and let me work on a few new things at a time. The module approach, with its weekly release of new information, is definitely a plus.
4 - Leanne Vogel is a captivating speaker and has a really down-to-earth, friendly, teaching style.
5 - A keto lifestyle works for a lot of women, particularly those with insulin sensitivities, food cravings and, yes, pounds to lose.
6 - The Mini Cookbook, meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists are great resources. So not only do you learn how to eat keto, in a way that works for your individual body, but you have tons of ideas and delicious recipes to enjoy the process.
7 - You have the opportunity to "go deeper" if you're a nutrition junkie (kinda like me). There are lots of bonus materials that dive deep into topics. You can learn about what supplements might be best for you, how to modify your keto eating plan to suit allergies and food intolerances, what lab testing you may find helpful in your journey, and much more.
8 - You have the option to be a VIP and have live coaching calls with Leanne, plus access to a special online support group.
Cons
1 - Happy Keto Body is not a quick fix. But this also may be a "pro" in a way, lol. If you are looking for promises to drop 10 pounds and a dress size in one week you won't find them here.
2 - If you don't want to learn about healthy living this is not the program for you. There are 12 weeks of information and teaching, learning how to tweak keto to your particular personality and health concerns. If you just want a meal plan to blindly follow, this is not the program for you.
3 - It is not cheap. Happy Keto Body is definitely an investment in your health. I personally feel I am worth it, but we all have our financial priorities. For me, the prospect of having peace with food, ditching food cravings, balancing my blood sugar and hormones, lessening the effects of autoimmune issues is totally worth it. But you may disagree. If you are super frugal and can't justify the cost of the program, get one of Leanne's eBooks instead.
Do you recommend Happy Keto Body?
I ABSOLUTELY recommend Happy Keto Body. It has changed my life and my relationship to food. That sounds a bit overly dramatic (cue the theatrical music), but if you have ever struggled with cravings that messed with your head and out-of-control binge eating like I have, you understand how eliminating those things from your life is a game changer. Even when I lost weight in the past I struggled with the secret over-eating that I felt powerless to overcome. I did obscene amounts of exercise to make up for my binging. Until my body gave out and I could no longer exercise away my dietary sins. And gaining weight again, once you have lost over 80 pounds and were finally thin, is a total mind f*ck. I am so grateful that Happy Keto Body came into my life.
Happy Keto Body is a great choice for you:
IF you commit to making yourself a priority for the next 12 weeks... and for a lifetime beyond.
IF you commit to eating for good health.
IF you commit the time it will take to follow the program.
Happy Keto Body is not a quick fix. It is an investment in your health. It will take time to complete the program, to learn about your body, and to tweak the plan to suit your personal needs. But if you want to improve your health, lose weight, eat real, nutritious foods, reduce stress, balance your hormones, improve your gut health, Happy Keto Body might be a great fit for you.
It is a great fit for me. When I eat this way I am happy and satisfied. I don't have cravings, and I don't binge eat which is my #1 eating-related problem! I know I am fueling my body with good, wholesome food. I am more calm. I have a peace with food that I DO NOT HAVE when I am stuffing my face with carbs.
But this is my experience. You have to decide for yourself how keto affects you.
You are literally guaranteed to be successful. The cool thing is that all of the programs come with a 30 money back guarantee. You can watch the videos, download the bonus materials, shopping lists, Mini Cookbook, and more. You can start eating keto and see how you feel.
If you do the work and complete the first 30 days of Happy Keto Body and your keto life doesn’t improve and your confidence doesn’t increase and you don't feel amazing, just email their support team. This a no hassle, no questions asked, money back guarantee. (See the Happy Keto Body information page for all details.)
