What is Ketosis?

Ketosis is a metabolic state achieved by following a ketogenic diet. Ketosis occurs after you significantly reduce your carbohydrate intake to 20 to 25 grams of daily net carbs (that is, your total carbohydrate intake minus fiber), or even less.

The exact amount of carbohydrates required to enter ketosis is different for each person, but the presence of ketones in your body, which shows that your body is burning fat for fuel, typically takes 1 to 3 days.

Is Keto All About Counting Macros?

Keto is more than just counting macros. Food quality and nutrient density are just as important as the amount of carbs consumed.

With the growing popularity of low-carb diets, the food industry introduced foods that may be low in carbs but are laden with unhealthy ingredients such as artificial sweeteners, preservatives and other additives. You won’t find any these in my recipes as you won’t find grains, sugar, potatoes, legumes and unhealthy oils. The KetoDiet approach is simple: It's a low-carb diet where the focus is on eating real food.

KetoDiet is not just about losing weight at any cost or counting macros; it's about adopting a healthier lifestyle.
