Ketogenic Diet Biomarker
- Ketogenic diets are unique because they are defined by an objective biomarker: ketones.
- Measuring ketones in blood, urine, or breath confirms a state of ketosis.
Gradual Keto Transition
- Transition into a ketogenic diet gradually over four to six weeks for better compliance.
- Titrate carbohydrate intake down slowly and monitor biomarkers for optimal results.
Fiber and Keto
- Incorporate fiber into a ketogenic diet to improve digestion, protein assimilation, and gut health.
- Consume raw leafy greens for minimal glycemic impact, as cooking can increase carbohydrate accessibility.
