Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'lazy keto' and is it effective?
Lazy keto focuses on monitoring only carb intake while neglecting other macros. While it can work for some, tracking all macros is recommended for better results.
What is the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis?
Ketosis is a natural metabolic state where the body burns fat for fuel. Ketoacidosis, on the other hand, is a dangerous condition that can occur in uncontrolled diabetes.
What's the difference between total carbs and net carbs?
Total carbs include all types of carbohydrates, while net carbs subtract fiber and certain sugar alcohols. Net carbs are often used in keto diets to gauge carb intake.
Can I eat nut flours and nut butters if I have nut allergies?
If you have nut allergies, you can opt for seed flours (e.g., almond flour alternatives) and seed butters (e.g., sunflower seed butter) as substitutes.
How can I manage social situations and dining out on keto?
Inform your hosts or servers about your dietary preferences. Focus on protein and non-starchy veggies when dining out, and make smart choices based on the menu.
