Modern diets for weight loss or healthy living should work hand in hand with a nourishing meal plan.

With the help of this article, keto meal ideas will no longer be a foreign idea but a meal plan that seamlessly fits into busy lifestyles and schedules, letting will power and convenience work together to create maximum and long-lasting commitments for a healthier lifestyle.

It is important to understand the two different metabolic modes our bodies have, glucose metabolism and fat metabolism (ketosis). Glucose metabolism is the process in which our body stores fat to be used up during times food may be scarce. Today’s modern typical diet revolves heavily around carbohydrates, meaning our body rarely can shift into fat metabolism mode as there is a constant supply of sugar. Switching to fat metabolism mode will encourage weight loss and reduce the risk of developing various degenerative diseases.

Encouraging your body to easily alter between glucose and fat modes creates a healthy metabolism. A ketosis state (fat metabolism) not only aids weight management but also with improving energy levels, mental clarity, and overall health. The most effective way to begin the switching in and out of ketosis is considering incorporating intermittent fasting into your lifestyle along with substituting some of your daily meals or snacks with keto foods.

What Is a Ketogenic Diet?

This probably isn’t your first-time hearing the word keto but what truly is a ketogenic diet? In the simplest of terms, a ketogenic diet is described as ‘a low carb, high fat and moderate protein intake diet.’ A keto diet encourages the body to utilise present body fat, burning the fat for energy and increasing fat breakdown, creating a metabolic state of ketosis. The restricted glucose intake on the diet allows the body to be fuelled by healthy fats lowering sugar and carb content.

The main principle of the keto diet is to reduce carbohydrates in favour of an increase in fats. A standard guide for the keto diet is 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs to enable the body to start the ketosis process. Ultimately your body becomes forced to use a different type of fuel as remaining in ketosis means your body uses stored fat (ketone bodies) rather than sugar (glucose) from carbs.

What Foods Can You Eat on A Keto Diet?

Keto should not connote being boring, as a healthy keto diet incorporates a wide range of nutrient dense foods focusing usually on meat, fish, eggs, and non-starchy vegetables. This specific focus ensures no added sugars or starches become present in the body, keeping carbs low and fats high, acting as the catalyst for the fat burning process.

As protein, meat, fish, tempeh or tofu are on offer each mealtime. Incorporating more fats into your diet through keto may be daunting however increasing olive oil, avocado oil or coconut oil consumption will further aid in remaining in ketosis and help you feel fuller for longer.

Keto diet snacks don’t have to be limiting and restrictive as the Planet Organic's keto snack range means treat days can be guilt-free yet remain indulgent. From Keto Raw Brownies to Keto Victoria Sponge the range will almost make you forget you’re following a diet.

What Food Should Readers Avoid on A Keto Diet?

To achieve the goal of the keto diet, the state of your body burning stored fat for fuel, means sugary foods must be strictly limited. To successfully gain most of your calories from healthy fats, the foods outlined below must be avoided:

  • High sugar content food e.g. breakfast cereals, sports drinks etc.
  • High sugar fruits (natural sugar) e.g. bananas, watermelon, grapes are high-sugar fruits. Replace these for blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries in small portions.
  • Natural sweeteners e.g. honey, agave, maple syrup etc.
  • Processed products e.g. pasta sauce, ketchup etc.
  • Whole grains e.g. bread, pasta, brown rice.

To progress with your keto meal plan, limiting or avoiding these foods in favour of nutrient-dense whole foods helps stabilise your energy levels and reap the benefits of the keto diet.
