Keto Facts and Tips

ℹ️ Keto Facts & Tips (From Healthline & EatingWell)

 

• What is keto?

• 
  A ketogenic diet is very low in carbs and high in fats, pushing your body into ketosis, where it burns fat instead of glucose. 

•  

• Benefits:
  Improved weight management, reduced cravings & more stable energy, better blood sugar control. 

•  

• Nutrient risks to watch for:
  Keto can lead to low levels of electrolytes (like sodium, potassium), B-vitamins, vitamin D, and more if not planned well.

•  

• Tips for success:
  • Stay hydrated & include salt in your meals
  • Eat whole foods (meats, eggs, veggies, healthy fats)
  • Avoid processed “keto” junk (just because it says “keto” doesn’t mean it’s healthy)

•  

• Cautions:
  • “Keto flu” symptoms (headache, fatigue, nausea) can appear in early days — they often pass in a few days.

• 
  • Long-term safety is less studied — always talk to your doctor, especially if you have health conditions.
