LAKEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Year after year—and for good reason—health and wellness goals, such as "eat better," "manage stress," and "stay hydrated" compete for the top spots on New Year's resolution lists. But even resolutions set with the best of intentions can be tricky to stick to – studies show that approximately 80% fail by mid-February¹. Natural Grocers is ready to help its communities change that failing statistic through its Keto and Resolution Reset initiatives, kicking off in January 2021. With free, virtual classes, epic discounts, gifts, giveaways and more, the nation's largest family-operated natural and organic grocery store is providing shoppers with the toolkit to stay on track all year—details are as follows.

KICK-START YOUR METABOLISM WITH KETO RESET

Natural Grocers' Nutritional Health Coaches (NHCs) present Keto Reset, a 4-week class series based on Mark Sisson's New York Times best-selling book, The Keto Reset Diet. The series will teach participants best practices for kick-starting their metabolism and experiencing other benefits the ketogenic diet supports, including healthy weight maintenance, enhanced mental clarity and focus, healthy energy levels, and more.

In its 3^rd year, the Keto Reset two-part program is completely virtual and will take place from January 20 – February 16, 2021. The program includes the following:

(1)     EMBARK ON A SUCCESSFUL KETO JOURNEY: Weekly instructional classes designed to introduce customers to the keto diet, and to guide and support them as they embark on their journey. Customers will learn about all things keto including blood sugar, meal planning, hacks, and how to incorporate the diet into their lifestyles. Classes, led by NHC experts and followed by a Q&A session, will be held virtually on Natural Grocers YouTube channel the following Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. PT / 6:00 p.m. MT / 7:00 p.m. CT:

• January 20: Introducing the Metabolism Reset & Keto Diet
• January 27: Adapting to a Keto-Friendly Lifestyle
• February 3: Launching into Keto
• February 10: Hacking Your Keto Journey

(2)    KETO DIETERS NEED KETO COMMUNITY: An interactive Keto Community Support Group, hosted by local NHCs, to help fine-tune participants' keto journeys and turn their newfound keto diet knowledge into a personalized action plan. Customers can sign up for a session at www.naturalgrocers.com/keto-reset
