Phase 1:
Strict Keto
Maximum of 20 total grams of carbs per day
“Phase 1 is a therapeutic diet. Eating this way can help reverse obesity, type 2 diabetes (it's also dynamite for improving blood sugar control in type 1), PCOS, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, heartburn, and more, says Dr. Westman.
If you're following Phase 1, you can eat as much as you want of certain zero-carb or close-to-zero carb foods until you are comfortably full. These include your usual animal proteins-beef, lamb, pork, poultry, eggs, seafood, and game meats as long as there's no starchy breading or batter.
Foods that do pack carbs, such as non-starchy vegetables, are limited. Very concentrated sources of fat like cheese, butter, oils, and heavy cream are permitted in limited quantities. “Even though these foods are very low in carbs, they're dense in fat, and overdoing added fats and oils is one of the most common roadblocks that'll get in the way of weight loss, explains Westman. What makes this way of eating so powerful is the absence of carbs, not an abundance of fat.
