The Ketogenic diet, or “Keto” for short, is a low-carbohydrate diet aimed at achieving ketosis by strictly reducing carbohydrate intake. 🌱

What is the difference between Low carb and the Keto diet? 

A ketogenic diet is a type of low-carb diet. Usually, low-carb is defined as a diet that limits carbohydrate intake to up to 100g per day. 

In the case of the Keto diet, the aim is to shift the body's primary energy source from carbohydrates to ketones. To achieve this, less than 50 grams of carbohydrates should be eaten daily. The amount of carbohydrates at which this change begins can also vary from individual to individual.

What am I allowed to eat? 

To stay below 50 g of carbohydrates, your diet should consist primarily of meat, fish, eggs, cream yogurt, cheese, sausage, avocados, nuts, fat, and oil. 

Grain or cereal products, (sweet) potatoes, rice, pasta, legumes, fruit, and all sugary foods and drinks are taboo.

Regarding vegetables, you should choose the variety based on their carbohydrate content. 

Stay between 20-50 grams of carbohydrates a day. Dietary fibers are not included. 💚
