Limit Carbohydrates

Limit Carbohydrates

Combining intermittent fasting with limiting total carbohydrate intake over time results in your body becoming keto-adapted. Keto-adaptation is the process of changing your body’s main source of fuel from glucose (sugars/carbohydrates) to relying on fats for fuel (both stored and dietary). By limiting carbohydrate intake (grains/sugars/starchy vegetables/processed foods) you are minimizing the time your body will be using glucose for fuel, keeping your body ready to jump back into the highly efficient state of fat-burning nutritional ketosis. An effective guideline is to keep carbohydrate consumption under 30g/day.

You may find the first few days to be challenging as your body and mind adapt to a fat dominant diet. On top of making sure you consume enough good fats and drink enough water each day, it is helpful to ensure adequate sodium and potassium intake. This can be achieved by simply adding salt and avocado to your meals or consuming 8oz of organic bone broth as desired.
