Collection: Keto Diet

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carbohydrate eating plan that shifts your body into ketosis, a metabolic state where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. Typically, keto involves consuming 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein, and only 5-10% carbs.

Signs of ketosis include increased energy, mental clarity, reduced appetite, and weight loss. You can confirm ketosis using ketone test strips, blood ketone meters, or breath analyzers. Many people also experience a temporary "keto flu" during the first week as their body adapts.

Essential keto supplements include electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium), MCT oil for quick energy, exogenous ketones to boost ketone levels, and omega-3s for inflammation support. Many people also benefit from digestive enzymes and fiber supplements.

Most people enter ketosis within 2-7 days of restricting carbs to under 20-50g daily. Initial weight loss (often water weight) happens quickly in the first week. Fat loss and other benefits typically become noticeable after 2-4 weeks of consistent adherence.
