U p to 80% of our body is water. So technically, we are just restless cucumbers. But we still need to drink water, and not only water, but low carb nutritious drinks. When it comes to drinks on keto, plain old water is the king. Both still and sparkling.

The book offers a collection of 55 beverages non-alcoholic cocktails, lemonades, warm drinks, and alcoholic cocktails allowed on a low-carb diet. A lways keep your organism well hydrated. In the first few days of limiting carbs, the body loses water and minerals at double the speed. To prevent dehydration, consume a lot of water and minerals every day. It is crucial, not only in those early days but for however long you stay on the ketogenic diet, that you always take special care to drink enough water and add enough salt to your diet, as much as 3500-5000 mg of sodium per day. You can make keto-water by adding 1/8 tsp salt to 1 liter of water and drinking it on a regular basis.

Two liters of keto-water a day will be sufficient for most people. Please pay close attention to the warm drinks section. Most of the herbal teas have zero carbs and tremendous healthy effectsfor example mint has a calming effect, while cilantro is a source of dietary fiber and also contains vitamins A, E, K, and rosehip can boost vitamin C.

T he ketogenic diet is a low carbohydrate, high fat, and moderate protein diet that puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. It diet involves radically reducing carbohydrate intake and substituting it with fat.

• Glucose is an energy source that is the easiest for our bodies to convert into energy and use.
  • Glucose is an energy source that is the easiest for our bodies to convert into energy and use.

    Thus, it will be chosen over any other energy source.

  • Insulin is a hormone that processes the glucose so that your bloodstream can distribute it around your body.
  Since glucose is the main form of energy, fats are not used and are, therefore, stored. Typically, on a normal, higher carbohydrate diet, the body will use glucose as its primary energy source. But due to the incredible adaptive abilities of our bodies, we can induce it into a state known as ketosis by lowering the intake of carbs. Ketosis is a natural process the body uses to help us survive when food intake is low. During this state, chemicals called ketones are produced.
