What is the Ketogenic Diet?

​

The ketogenic diet is a High fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate lifestyle that changes the fuel source your body burns for energy.

​

Macro-nutrients:

In high school biology you learned about macro-nutrients. 

​

Fats: Store energy

Carbohydrates: the body's preferred source of fuel

Protein: The building blocks of the body 

​

With the ketogenic diet we are switching the way our body works, turning it from a sugar burning factory, into a fat burning factory. 

​

By consuming less than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day, your body will enter the ketogenic state.  This metabolic state uses your stored fat as an energy source instead of ingested sugars.

 

Just a reminder. We are NOT doctors, or even nutritionist. Take all advice at your own risk. Though we have both done extensive research, and both currently are on keto, everyone is different and everyone's body is different.
