❤️Record EVERYTHING - cream in your coffee, handful of nuts etc..


Don't feel guilty, just try to understand and get a baseline of what you are eating today

 

Macro's Are Important to Understand and Track

❤️Protein ❤️ Fat ❤️ Carbohydrate

❤️Protein

🥩Protein - Not all protein is created equal - the source of meat matters (pastured, grass-fed, & grass-finished, or organic meats. 🐄

❤️ The amino acids that make up protein serve many critical functions in the body

❤️Do not restrict protein when going low carb or even starting a KETO diet

❤️Protein keeps you full, satiated and burns more calories digesting

❤️Target .6 - 1.0 gram of protein per lean body mass (or 30 grams per meal)

❤️Fat

❤️ When following a low carb diet, fat becomes a lever for hunger & energy

❤️ Keto diet is considered a "High Fat" diet but, don't just "Add Fats"

❤️ Healthy fats (organic dairy, avocado oil, olive oil) etc..

❤️ Once you are "fat adapted", your body can burn body fat for fuel & dietary fat


❤️Carbohydrates 🥖

❤️ There are no essential carbohydrates

❤️ Once you are "fat adapted", your body can burn body fat for fuel & dietary fat, therefore it doesn't need glucose

❤️ Keto is a low carb diet, you don't need to go zero carb

❤️ I recommend a "primal low carb diet", not a KETO diet


You are ALLOWED to eat whatever you want

❤️ You are CHOOSING foods that are consistent with your goals ❤️

❤️ Coffee with heavy cream, a TSP of butter, or some monk fruit, stevia is fine


if you IF (Intermittent fast) and skip breakfast, your first meal should still be focused on protein.

❤️Egg salad is a great lunch option if you skip eggs for breakfast
