🥓National Keto Day, Do You Need Keto or is it Actually Unhealthy?🥑
Did you know keto has a National day? Well it's today and I'm celebrating it with seven years of eating this way having started in January 2017. What does eating keto even mean? There are sooooooo many misconceptions! One of the most prevalent is that people on keto just eat bacon and butter all the time. While I'm not opposed to those foods, I eat a diet that can be described as Mediterranean without the grains. I don't see how anyone could label that as unhealthy, yet the misconceptions continue to abound. Here's a great example of a recipe that will have you thinking differently about keto.
Most people would be much healthier just by focusing on prioritizing protein and reducing carbs and refined sugar. That's a wonderful place to start to regain health, and for many that may be all they need! Being in ketosis is not required for health or weight loss.
If you want a very quick read about common misconceptions and what I've learned through eating this way for years, be sure to check out today's Instagram post.
