Is it Keto?


People ask if I'm doing Keto (the ketogenic diet). The answer is yes... and no. I try to stay within the recommended parameters or percentages of fat/protein/carbohydrates. My personal target is 72% fats, 20% proteins, and 8% carbohydrates. These are the percentages of my total daily calorie intake. However, I also try to consume at least 5 servings of vegetables per day.

My carb goal is only 8%, which is quite a bit lower than some keto diets recommend. I chose this simply because I am a diabetic, and I'm controlling my blood sugar with diet and exercise. I stopped taking insulin a few months ago. I was able to do that safely by reducing my intake of carbs and eating more healthy foods. No processed foods, no simple sugars, etc. I only eat fruit on rare occasions. I do take lots of supplements to ensure that I'm getting enough vitamins and minerals.

So it's not precisely "keto", but it IS low carb, and frankly I'm feeling great!

Oh, what about snacking? I love these bars from Nick's that I get off Amazon. I limit myself to a maximum of one per day. They are less than 2 net grams of carbohydrates, and they taste amazing. 

My other "go to" snacks are nuts, cheese, and of course veggies. I frequently grab a carrot to munch on while I prepare meals for my family so I'm not tempted (they still eat "normally").
