About the Keto Diet
The Keto diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low-carbohydrate eating plan. It shifts the body's metabolism away from glucose and towards fats and ketones, a state known as ketosis.
Pro Tips
- 1Use airtight glass containers to keep your high-fat meals fresh and prevent oils from oxidizing.
- 2Add fresh fats like avocado or extra olive oil just before serving to maintain texture and flavor.
- 3Ensure you stay hydrated and keep your electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) high during prep.
- 4Prep low-carb vegetables like cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles in bulk to save time during the week.
- 5Use frozen cauliflower or spinach for convenience; they are often just as nutritious as fresh options.
GAYA Tracking Tip
When logging your Keto meal in GAYA, take a clear photo from a top-down angle and mention any hidden fats like 'cooked in 2 tbsp olive oil' or 'added 1/2 avocado' in the description to ensure the AI calculates your macros accurately.
