A Beginner’s Guide to Avoiding Common Keto Mistakes

June 17, 2018

A ketogenic diet can be an effective way to manage your weight or improve different aspects of your health. Increasing your fat intake and decreasing your carbohydrate consumption makes your body rely on using fat storage for energy and activity. Instead of constantly feeling hungry or restricted like other diets, a keto diet can keep you full and energized throughout the day. However, it’s easy to feel like a keto diet isn’t working for you or you don't see the results you wanted when you started. There are a few ways to stall or hinder a keto diet from working to its full capacity. Here’s a guide to staying on track with your ketogenic diet.

May 18, 2018

The secret nutritional superhero of the ketogenic diet, bone broth is packed with healthy protein and powerful collagen without unwanted sugar and carbs. In a keto diet, which focuses on high quantities of healthy fats and few carbohydrates, bone broth is the best of both worlds - healthy and delicious. Despite it’s simple appearance, it packs a punch against keto flu and helps support overall bone, muscle, and skin health. What’s in Bone Broth? Bone broth is a staple of keto diet transitioning for many reasons. It is full of non-inflammatory amino acids which are necessary for energy and good gut digestion.

Also known as the carb flu, the keto flu is commonly experienced by people who are transitioning to a Ketogenic diet. It happens when someone who has become accustomed to relying primarily on carbohydrates as fuel removes them from their daily food intake. While this is a necessary step towards adjusting from being a sugar-burner to a fat-burner, the sudden change can trigger some unpleasant symptoms, much like withdrawing from an addictive substance. Keto flu symptoms can include drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, achy muscles, mental fogginess, and an irritable mood. The good news though, is that most of these experiences relate to dehydration and electrolyte depletion, and so are easily prevented or managed. There are a few ways to reduce keto flu or carb flu symptoms, which do not last for long once the body has successfully passed through the transition period. Since a keto diet is a diuretic, the body is losing more electrolytes and water than it regularly does.

Ketosis is triggered by a low-carbohydrate and high-fat intake diet but can be challenging for some people to maintain for long periods of time. Keto protein shakes and powders can be used to maintain a long-term ketologic diet while still tasting delicious and providing energy. Before deciding to enter a ketologic lifestyle, talk to a doctor about the risks and benefits as well as create a personalized plan that takes into account your individual needs and medical history. Because it can be challenging to adhere to a keto diet, meal planning and meal supplements are incredibly helpful to maintain a state of ketosis. The standard ratio of four grams of fat for every gram of protein can be considered restrictive by many, but consuming a keto protein shake that has predetermined measurements makes eating uncomplicated. Choosing the best keto shakes means looking for a variety of factors. Mak
