  • FAT

  • fat

    NUTRITION TIP (FAT)

    • Fat does not make you fat. Don’t shy away from it, embrace it like a kid in a candy store
    • 75% of your calories should come from fat - it will fuel you in ways you didn’t think were possible
    • Flip the food pyramid upside down (sorry USDA) - now we’re on the same page
    • Olive, coconut and MCT oils are your best friend - add it to any meal to up your fat intake

  • PROTEIN

  • protein_circle

    NUTRITION TIP (PROTEIN)

    • Excessive protein causes an insulin spike and your body will convert them into carbs - it’s called gluconeogenesis
    • Use our keto calculator here to work out how much protein to take.
    • Your macro goals are all about eating minimal carbs, moderate protein (enough to maintain muscle mass) and the rest of your nutritional needs from fat
  • dairy_circle

    NUTRITION TIP (DAIRY)

    • Butter, cheese, yoghurt and heavy cream are all keto friendly
    • Always go for products that are low in lactose
    • Stay away from milk - it’s full of lactose AKA sugar
    • Avoid low fat and fat free dairy altogether. When fat is removed it is always replaced with sugar

    NUTRITION TIP (MEATS)

    • Cured meats may contain honey and sugar in them
    • Processed meats usually have starchy fillers. It it’s not 100% meat there’s probably hidden carbs
    • Most glazes and sauces use cornstarch or flour as thickening agents

  • CARBOHYDRATES

  • carbs_circle

    NUTRITION TIP (CARBS)

    • Cured meats may contain honey and sugar in them
    • Processed meats usually have starchy fillers. It it’s not 100% meat there’s probably hidden carbs
    • Most glazes and sauces use cornstarch or flour as thickening agents
  • nutsandseeds_circle

    NUTRITION TIP (NUTS AND SEEDS)

    • It’s easy to overeat, especially if they're roasted and salted, so eat with caution
    • Just like fruit, a handful of nuts is enough as a healthy snack.
    • Stick to whole foods first and get comfortable with being in ketosis before experimenting with low carb flours and baked goods
  • vegetables_circle

    NUTRITION TIP (VEGETABLES)

    • If it’s green and leafy, it’s a go! Same goes for non starchy vegetables
    • Most vegetables are packed with fiber so you can discount it from carbs to get “net carbs”. This allows for some extra wriggle room
  • drinks_circle

    NUTRITION TIP (DRINKS)

    • Water and bone broth will keep you hydrated. Bone broth has a tone of electrolytes (that’s good)
    • Coffee is great too (without milk of course)
    • Be careful of nasty sweeteners in diet sodas
    • Your alcohol tolerance is much lower on keto so be careful - hangovers are no fun for anyone
  • fruit_circle

    NUTRITION TIP (FRUIT)

    • It’s nature’s candy so always practice portion control. You can’t eat unlimited amounts of it
    • Measure your intake - grab a handful and no more than that
    • Berries are your go to fruit. Steer clear of bananas and other starchy fruits
