This week I’m going keto!
For those of you that don’t know, keto (short for ketogenic diet) is a low-carb, high-fat eating approach that shifts your body into ketosis (burning fat for fuel instead of carbs).
Proposed benefits include weight loss, stable energy, better blood sugar control, reduced inflammation, and potential longevity perks like improved mitochondrial function, autophagy support, and metabolic health that may help with aging-related issues. I just finished “Fasting Cancer” which argues fasting mimicking diets like keto could play a role in righting cancer!!!
Some popular keto meals to get ideas from:
• Grilled salmon or fatty fish with buttery veggies
• Eggs (scrambled, fried, or omelets) with bacon or avocado
• Ground beef stir-fry with broccoli or zucchini
• Chicken thighs roasted with olive oil and herbs
Today I made salmon and mini Brussels sprouts, soaked in and sautéed in butter, herbs, and other seasoning. I also had eggs and ground beef and chicken. I am utilizing spoonfuls of almond butter whenever I have a craving for a snack. lol
Excited to see how this feels over the next few days. More interested in mental clarity than anything else.
Have you tried keto before ??
