My Keto Dinner

in appics •  5 years ago 

This meal looks amazing!
I would like to ask a question.
I have heard and read a lot about the keto diet.
It seems that some people do not approve it, because you turn your diet to very low carb! Do you have any suggestions about how to do this without hurting our body?

Thank you for your question, @ionnafo, it's a great one. To make sure, I'm not an expert, a doctor or nutritionist. The thoughts below are just my layman understanding: it doesn't seem that having carbs at 5% of your entire macronutrients intake (fat being at 75%-80% and protein at 15%-20%) is hurting your body. Quite the opposite: it's consuming as many carbs as we are in our modern Western diet that is leading to all kinds of inflammations, diseases and auto-immune responses from our bodies. As long as you make sure to consume some carbs (at about 5% of your macronutrients) and as long as they come from fresh healthy sources, like green leafy vegetables, avocados, broccoli etc., I believe you should be fine. But definitely consult your physician or nutritionist, if you have special conditions or are simply unsure how to go about it.

Quite informative!
Thank you very much, I will for sure do some extra research and see id keto is for me!
Thank you again.
