Everything you need to know about the ketogenic diet. Learn the science, the foods, and what to expect when your body enters ketosis.
The ketogenic diet has taken Australia by storm, with many people reporting increased energy, mental clarity, and significant weight loss. But what exactly is keto, and is it right for you?
What is the Ketogenic Diet?
The keto diet is a very low-carb, high-fat eating approach that shifts your body's primary fuel source from glucose (carbs) to ketones (produced from fat). This metabolic state is called "ketosis."
Keto Macros Breakdown
Fat: 70-80% of daily calories
Protein: 15-25% of daily calories
Carbohydrates: 5-10% (usually under 20-50g net carbs)
Foods to Eat on Keto
Meat, fish, and poultry
Eggs and full-fat dairy
Avocados and healthy oils (olive, coconut)
Low-carb vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli, zucchini)
Nuts and seeds
Foods to Avoid
Grains (bread, pasta, rice)
Sugar and sweetened foods
Most fruits (except berries in small amounts)
Starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn)
Legumes and beans
What to Expect
The first week can be challenging as your body adapts. Some experience the "keto flu" – temporary fatigue, headaches, and irritability. Stay hydrated, ensure adequate electrolytes, and give your body time to adjust.
