You Should Be Eating Carbs!

You know something has become a bit of a craze when your Starbucks barista asks if you’re on “keto” when you request heavy cream in your coffee (true story). It’s absolutely everywhere and if you’re reading this, you have probably thought about trying it out (move aside paleo dudes *holds a peace sign with fingers*). However, “going keto” is like sex and driving—everyone thinks they’re doing it right (or are flat-out amazing at it) but in reality, are mostly ill-informed on the subject (or flat-out suck at it). Such is the fate of the trendiest diets, or just health trends in general. Hopefully, what I share today will clear some of the doubts and misconceptions that you may have on Ketogenic Diets.

For those of you who know me, even casually, you have probably heard me talk about an unconventional diet system, popularized by John Kiefer, called the CarbNite Solution, where I bring myself to a state of “ketosis” by eating less than 30 grams of carbs for several days, only to go on a carb frenzy once or twice a week (depending on my physical goals). Because of this, I get a handful of people asking me daily if I am on the Ketogenic Diet. The answer is a resounding: Kinda! I believe in the benefits of being fat adapted, but I also believe we should be utilizing the power of carbs. It is almost never a good idea to totally remove a food group from your diet, and in this case, carbs! So while I may coincidentally be in a state of ketosis from time to time, I am not on “keto” per se (a girl’s gotta live, and carbs is life).
