I’ve talked about how I got started on Keto in Part 1, and in Part 2 I told you the basics of what Keto is. But what do you need to get started on a ketogenic diet? In this post we will talk about a few of the basics you need to get started. There aren’t many things, but here’s what you need to get going on a Keto diet. Ketostix - So, you need to know when you are in ketosis (a fat burning state) and until you get used to being able to tell when you are in and when you are out, I recommend peeing on a ketostix to check.


Now I will say that this is not the most efficient way to check your ketones. A blood ketone reader is the best way, but I find it easier to spend $8 in the beginning rather than $65. The ketostix won’t work as well once you become "fat-adapted" (which means that you body has fully swapped over to burning fat for fuel and is used to it). That’s because the ketostix measure the excess ketones that are being excreted by your body. When your body is adapted there will be fewer "extra" ketones floating around, but by then you will be able to tell when you are or are not in ketosis. A macro calculator - Not everyone calculates macros (and I don’t track much anymore), but I think that when you first get started it’s a good idea to do it to get a handle on what a day in ketosis looks like.


I use MyFitnessPal, but there are lots of good Keto calculators out there that will live on your phone and are easy to use. Coconut Oil, Butter, Olive Oil, Lard - Supraketo Fat Burner. You need lots of fat. But don’t get just any fat, you want healthy fats. What does healthy Supraketo Fat Burner mean? It means natural, relatively unprocessed, fats. Stay away from the man-made fats that have been invented by the food industry in the last 50 or so years
