INTRODUCTION

After being fascinated with the Ketogenic diet for several years I de-
cided to try it to help with an autoimmune disorder, and balancing my
hormones. Not only has it helped, but I feel great overall on it!

The Ketogenic diet was developed in the 1920 to treat epilepsy in chil-
dren… But recently its been shown to help with diabetes, heart dis-
ease, certain type of cancer, alzheimer’s, parkinson’s, polycystic ovary
syndrome, weight loss, mental clarity, brain injuries, acne and many
more!

This book provides basic information on:

• How to start a Ketogenic diet


• The most commonly asked question
• What foods to eat/What foods to avoid
• A 5 day meal plan
• ...and over 40 recipes!

Thank you so much for purchasing this e-book!

What is a Ketogenic diet? Most Commonly Asked Questions
The Ketogenic diet, is a very low-carb, high fat, moderate protein diet. It involves drastically reduc-
ing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. Typically on a normal, higher carbohydrate diet,
the body will use glucose as the main form of energy. By lowering the intake of carbs, the body

What are about my performance? Wont it be affected?


You may see some limitations on your performance when you first begin a ket diet, but as your body
fully adapts to using fat as the primary source of energy-all of your strength and endurance will re-
turn to normal.
People often argue that performance is affected when on a keto diet, but that’s not true. Once adapt-
ed through ketosis, the body uses fats as the predominant energy source.
The only real time where ketosis can give performance loss is in exercises that need an explosive
action. If you need a little boost in your performance during these, you can “carb-up” by eating 25-
50g of carbs about 30 minutes before you train.
Is a Ketogenic diet safe? What types of meats should I eat?
There are a lot of misconceptions about low carb dieting which has caused an infamous outlook on Your best bet when it comes to protein is choosing anything organic or grass fed, and using free-

fasting(black tea or coffee sweetened with stevia or erythritol are allowed).
Fasting can help with weight loss, promotes mental clarity, and many other perks!
What should my macros look like?
Consuming a high amount of fat and low amount of dietary carbohydrate are key features to a keto-
genic diet. Exactly how much fat and how few carbs? Traditional, strict, keto diets are structured with Can I eat fruit?

When you eat low carb your body doesn’t retain water the same way, so sodium and other important
electrolytes get flushed out quickly. You need to replenish these or you will feel awful.
Make sure you read labels! don’t assume anything is free from carbs!
Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of water!
Now, what should you eat? There are endless combinations of food an it really depends on your
personal preference.
I have added a list of low net carb veggies and some recipes in this ebook that i hope will help you.
