What is Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) & Why It’s the Most Efficient Fuel

What is Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) & Why It’s the Most Efficient Fuel

The body has a variety of fuel sources it can use, all with different benefits and downsides. Sugar, for example, is typically our primary energy source — not because it is the most efficient — but because it can be used rapidly by every cell in the body. Unfortunately, we sacrifice efficiency for speed when we burn sugar, which leads to the formation of potentially harmful molecules called free radicals. Conversely, when carb intake is limited, we began using more efficient fuel sources ...

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

50+ Healthy Keto Snacks to Help with Ketosis

One of the most satiating diets is the keto diet. Keto-friendly foods are typically so filling that keto dieters end up eating fewer calories — and, in many cases, fewer meals — throughout the day. This allows them to lose weight sustainably. However, just because you are following keto doesn’t mean that you are immune to hunger and afternoon energy crashes. If you’re not prepared, and the convenience of processed, carb-dense snacks beckons you, you may very well find yourself with a mouthful ...

Can I juice on keto?

I wouldn't recommend juicing or drinking juice while you are on the keto diet. Although it is possible to make a healthy juice that is low in net carbs, juicing is unnecessary to improve your health. The best way to get the healing benefits of plants is by incorporating them into your keto meals or keto smoothies, not by juicing. Juicing takes all of the fiber and some of the nutrients out of the fruit or vegetable, robbing you of many of its health benefits. Instead of juicing, opt for ...

Can I substitute anything for coffee or tea?

Feel free to use any sugar-free hot beverage of your choice or none at all. Some common keto-friendly favorites are bone broth and herbal tea. You can even blend either one up with a keto-friendly sweetener and fats of your choice (e.g., MCTs, coconut oil, butter, and/or heavy cream) if you'd like. If you need a way to get some extra fats in the morning, consider drinking a keto smoothie or milkshake instead: Keto Tropical Smoothie Peanut Butter Caramel Milkshake Blueberry ...

I don’t drink coffee or tea, what can I do?

Drinking coffee or tea is not a requirement of the keto diet. It can provide you with a great way to get some extra fats and energy, but it is not necessary. If you like the idea of getting a fat-filled energy boost in with your morning beverage, consider drinking a keto smoothie or milkshake instead: Keto Tropical Smoothie Peanut Butter Caramel Milkshake Blueberry Banana Bread Smoothie McKeto Strawberry Milkshake Cucumber Spinach Smoothie Blackberry Chocolate ...

Complete Guide to Keto Friendly Beverages & Energy Drinks

Complete Guide to Keto Friendly Beverages & Energy Drinks

Drinks tend to be the sneakiest sources of calories and sugar in our diets.  Fruit juices (including freshly pressed juice), sodas, and even your favorite specialty coffee drink are all filled with so much sugar that they increase your likelihood of gaining fat while making it difficult for your body to get into ketosis. With all of the confusing marketing terms like "low-carb," "low-sugar," "natural," etc. it is hard to tell what drinks are actually keto-friendly and what drinks are just ...

Comprehensive Guide To The Vegetarian Ketogenic Diet

Comprehensive Guide To The Vegetarian Ketogenic Diet

The vegetarian diet is commonly regarded as one of the healthiest diets for humanity. Many studies have found that vegetarian diets are associated with a lower rate of heart disease and diabetes and may improve health more than the average non-vegetarian diet. However, this doesn’t mean that the vegetarian diet or the vegetarian keto diet is the best diet for everyone’s health. The ketogenic diet, for example, has been found to be more effective than the vegetarian diet for weight loss, ...
