About the Keto Diet
The Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low-carbohydrate regimen. By limiting carbs to under 50g per day, the body enters ketosis, burning fat for fuel instead of glucose.
Pro Tips
- 1Prioritize high-quality fats like avocado oil, grass-fed butter, and extra virgin olive oil.
- 2Be cautious of 'hidden' carbohydrates in pre-packaged sausages and spice blends.
- 3Stay hydrated and supplement electrolytes like sodium and magnesium to avoid the 'Keto flu'.
- 4Prepare egg muffins or chia pudding in batches to save time during busy weekdays.
- 5Focus on fiber-rich low-carb vegetables like spinach and kale to support digestive health.
