What is a Keto diet?

So you want to start Keto WOE (way of eating)

Basic info:

A keto diet or ketogenic diet is a high fat, low carb, moderate protein diet. This way of eating will force your body into a state known as ketosis where the body is deprived of carbs and is forced to use your fat stores and fat consumed as an energy source.
Fat is the cornerstone of the keto diet. It’s the high fat and low carbs that actually make this diet work.
High Fat and enough calories DO MATTER with this way of eating.
Most people struggle to eat enough fat at first. You have to increase the amount of fat to replace the number of carb calories that you’re missing.
It’s super important to eat enough calories to avoid any metabolic or thyroid problems that can be associated with low calorie diets.
A general rule of thumb for the Keto Diet is– 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein, 5-10% carbs.
BUT THIS INFORMATION IS NO GOOD TO YOU UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS. A great keto calculator will tell you what it is you should be eating for your height, weight, % body fat, etc cause all of those factors do matter when it comes to the number of calories you should be eating a day.

If you’re changing to this way of eating because you’re seeking weight loss, make sure you’re looking at the Large Calorie Deficit. These are the numbers you should be aiming for.
Take these recommended numbers and plug them into a tracking site like Myfitnesspal, Carb Manager, Keto Diet App or similar app to keep track of the food you’ve consumed.
Keep your numbers under the recommended numbers given and you’re golden!
