I have been on a keto diet for over 2 years now & I’ve never felt better
I tried keto after noticing that carbs cause me inflammation & low energy levels. Now I practice fasting & keto b/c it keeps me at peak energy levels.

What is the keto diet?
Keto is a low-carb, high-fat diet aimed at helping your body achieve ketosis. Ketosis is when your body is most efficiently burning fat for energy by turning fat into ketones and then supplying your brain with energy.

Keto is good for anyone trying to lose/maintain weight or improve their blood sugar levels.
However, diets are extremely personal & individuals may thrive off of different foods. Personally, keto felt best for my body.
Always consult an expert before trying a new diet.

First, try to reduce your carb intake & increase your fat intake.
This will be a good gauge for how your body responds to a low-carb diet.

Start with time-restricted eating
I practice fasting to deplete glycogen, increase fat mobilization and promote ketogenesis.
Fasting can help you reach and maintain the state of ketosis.
I tend to fast 23hr/day on weekdays, eating only for dinner. On weekends, I fast 16:8.

Fasted cardio, specifically HIIT, can promote fat burning, while on a keto diet.
Keto already is efficient for fat burning b/c the body doesn't have much glycogen stored & can start burning fat immediately. Exercise while fasting can deplete any remnant glycogen stores.

Add MCT oil in coffee to boost energy levels + curb hunger
MCT oil in your coffee can help increase your fasting window by decreasing hunger levels. MCT oil also provides a nice boost of energy.
@hvmn and @perfectketo have great options for MCT oil powders.

Exogenous ketones supplements/ketone esters are a great way to help your body reach ketosis
You can use them to curb hunger, energize you throughout the day, and also to fuel your body for workouts.
Check out @hvmn and @perfectketo for some great supplements.

Eat fatty cuts of red meats and organ meat
Fatty cuts of meat can help curb hunger and promote a state of ketosis due to the high-unsaturated fat content.
Organ meats are especially helpful to include in your diet because they are packed full of nutrients, vitamins and collagen

If you are pescatarian, fatty cuts of fish, eggs, high-fat nuts and avocados are also a great option.
Any high-healthy-fat foods are ideal for a keto diet. Fat will make up most of your calorie intake because you will mostly burn fat as your main energy source, instead of carbs.

Consume electrolytes to help replenish your sodium levels
Electrolytes, specifically sodium, potassium, & magnesium are important to consume while on a keto. Since you’re restricting carbs, your body will metabolize electrolytes differently & this can result in lowered sodium.
