Most recipes are portioned for 46 servings, which means youll be eating the same thing for a week or trying to adjust recipes and struggling to figure out proper cooking times and fractions of measurements. With keto, you also have the additional challenge of balancing your macronutrientsa few too many carbs or not enough fat and your recipe is no longer in the ketogenic zone.

No more fussing with recipes. No more eating leftovers. No more wasted food (or money!). No more cobbling together snacks and calling it a meal.

INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS A KETO DIET?

Wow. After a couple of decades of being told that being in ketosis was dangerous, nutritional ketosis is finally being recognized as the widely beneficial health intervention it is. Its about time. So, lets start with a basic but important question:

WHAT IS A KETO DIET?

Oh boy, there are a lot of, uh, interesting assertions about this out there. So let me clarify: A ketogenic diet is any diet that is low enough in carbohydrates that your body is forced to shift over to burning fat as its main source of fuel. Ketones are a natural by-product of fat-burning and can be used as fuel by most tissues that cannot burn free fatty acids, allowing the combination of fat and ketones to provide almost allbut not quite allof your bodys fuel. Any diet that forces your body into fat-burningand therefore ketone-producingmode is a ketogenic diet. Period.

I state this because I hear people saying things like, Oh, its like a low-carb diet, only you eat only clean foods, no chemicals or artificial sweeteners! or You have to eat 20 grams a day or less of carbohydrates, and at least 80 percent of your calories from fat, or You have to be careful not to eat too much protein. All of those are possibly valuable guidelines, but they are not essential to a ketogenic diet.

ABOUT FAT

Ketogenic diets were first devised to mimic the effects of fasting for treating epileptic seizures. When a person fasts, they tap into their body fat for fuel. That fat-burning creates ketones, which in turn fuel those tissues that cannot burn free fatty acids, especially the brain. This is why our hunter-gatherer ancestors didnt curl up into fuzzy-headed blobs and starve to death when they ran short of foodthey could run off body fat efficiently enough to go hunt and gather.

A ketogenic diet, by cutting carbohydrates, and therefore glucose, to a bare minimum, forces fat burning. But be aware of a few caveats.

Testing positive for ketosis proves that you are running a fat-burning metabolism. However, it says nothing about the source of that fat. You could be burning body fat, sure, but you could also be burning dietary fat, the fat from your last meal. You simply do not, cannot, know.

A ketogenic diet will be a high-fat diet, but how high in fat? To some degree, that will depend on your purpose for eating keto. If youre eating keto for improved brain healtha great ideathen it doesnt matter whether youre burning body fat or dietary fat. The same goes for keto-adapted endurance athletes. But if youre eating a keto diet to lose weight, the most common purpose, it matters.

I point this out because fat bombs, butter- and oil-laced coffee, and other very concentrated sources of fat, have become popular in the keto world. Ive used them myself, especially when fat fasting (eating 1000 calories per day, as close to 90 percent of them from fat as possible). These can provide energy and quell hunger, which is great. But if you overconsume them, your body may very well never bother to tap into its fat stores. In other words: One cup of butter and coconut oillaced coffee, such as Bulletproof Coffee, can get you going in the morning and suppress hunger for much of the day, but drinking it all day may well prevent weight loss (and could make you jumpy, too).

Yes, this is Calories In, Calories Out, but a ketogenic diet changes the math. In their landmark 1956 clinical trial published in The Lancet, researchers Kekwick and Pawan demonstrated that a very low-carbohydrate diet lets people eat more calories than they could on a mixed or balanced dietroughly 600 calories more per dayand still lose weight. This allows weight loss without hunger. Thats a real advantage, especially when coupled with the appetite suppression of ketosis. But, of course, there are individual differences in metabolisms, which cause people to respond differently to the same diets.

What this means is that stating that a ketogenic diet must provide X percent of its calories from fat is too broad. If you want to lose weight, some of the fat that is burned must come from your own fat stores.

Im unconvinced that being in a very deep state of ketosis is essential for weight loss, although it is needed for some therapeutic purposes, such as seizure control and combating dementia. So as long as youre testing in at least a mild-to-moderate state of ketosis, you know youre burning fat for fuel.

Ketosis can be tested by urine strips, blood ketone meters (similar to, and often combined with, blood glucose meters), or breath meters. Urine strips are cheapest and most widely available, but least accurate. Blood testing is the gold standard, but involves finger-sticks and its priceythe test strips run about $5 each. Breath meters are reasonably accurate and coming down in price. I use a breath meter, but it only tells me mild/moderate/deep ketosis (or none at all, but that hasnt happened).

SO HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH FAT TO EAT?

By paying attention to your protein and carb intake, you will know how much fat to eat. If that sounds backward, let me explain.

Protein is essential for repair and maintenance of the body. How much protein is essential is another point of contention. I have heard cogent arguments made for eating no more than 1 gram of protein per kilo (or roughly 2 pounds) of healthy body weight. I have heard equally cogent arguments that as much as 2 grams of protein per kilo, or a gram per pound, of healthy body weight is better. Again, this will be individual and will vary with your genetics and how active you are, how good your liver is at converting amino acids to glucose, and possibly some other things Im not thinking of.

So, start with your healthy body weightnot the weight that would make you fashionably ultra thin, just a healthy weight for your height and bone structure. If thats 120 pounds, then you should eat no fewer than 60 grams of protein per day, and not much more than 120 grams. Whether you do well toward the lower or higher end of that range is something you can only learn through trial and error.

Then figure your carb intake: 20 grams per day is a pretty common goal, though some people can stay in ketosis with as much as 50 grams per day, while others have to drop as low as 10 grams per day.

Both protein and carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram. If youre at the low end of this range, eating 60 grams of protein and 20 grams of carb, you will be getting 320 calories from protein and carbs. If you eat about 1800 calories per day total, you need to consume another 1480 calories from fat. Divide 1480 by 1800 and that tells you that 82 percent of your calories should come from fat. Fat has 9 calories per gram, so itll take about 165 grams of fat to supply the rest of your calories.

On the other hand, if you eat 120 grams of protein and 50 grams of carbohydrate per day, you are getting 680 calories from protein and carbs. Again assuming 1800 calories per day, you are left with 1120 calories to add from fat, or 124 grams. In this case, youd be eating 62 percent of your calories from fat. Would you be in ketosis? Thats a question for test strips or a breath ketone meter. Would you feel as well? Thats a question for your own body. Theres no substitute for paying attention.
