In this week’s podcast, we discuss how to do the keto diet properly. There’s a lot of misinformation on the internet about the ketogenic diet, including promoting various highly processed foods as keto-approved. That’s what prompted us to do this episode. 

The foundation of a properly formulated ketogenic diet is a reduction of dietary carbohydrates. Ideally, you would keep your total daily carbs to 30 grams or less a day. Some proponents of the keto diet do not count carbs from green leafy vegetables or fiber, however, we believe you should still count these sources towards your daily carb count. At the end of the day, they still contribute to the amount of glucose you’re taking in.  

You want to ensure the bulk of your calories come from fat. This is going to be your primary fuel source. Ideally, you would get both your fat and dietary protein from natural whole foods. Something like a ribeye steak would be a perfect keto meal. Steak is an awesome source of protein as well as fatty acids. 

Can you eat steak or bacon and eggs everyday on the keto diet? Yes! This makes it way more sustainable than most people think. No one ever gets sick of bacon and eggs.
