Now you're staring at the scale, feeling the bloat, and wondering how bad the damage really is. Here's the short answer: it's probably not as bad as you think.

What is the Keto Flu & How to Remedy It?
Adapting to the ketogenic diet can feel like the flu.

Macronutrients and the Ketogenic Diet
The three main macronutrients that are relatable to a keto diet are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. All three of these nutrients have different effects on ketosis because of how our body digests and metabolizes them. Fats are 90% ketogenic and 10% anti-ketogenic, due to the small amount of glucose that is released in the conversion of triglycerides into usable energy. Proteins are roughly ~46% ketogenic and 58% anti-ketogenic since insulin levels usually rise in response to the ...
