It’s likely you already know that we’re big fans of the ketogenic diet. Just in case you’re unfamiliar with keto, at it’s very basic foundation it’s a low carb, moderate protein, high (healthy) fat diet. With carbs out of the picture, your body enters a state called “ketosis” where alternative energy sources called ketones are produced. It’s fantastic for fat/weight loss, to minimize inflammation, and to increase energy levels.

People often have many of the same concerns regarding keto. The keto “flu” when you’re starting out. Digestion issues. Electrolyte imbalances. While these are all valid concerns, there are extremely simple steps to combat them. Trust us, the benefits are well worth it.
