The ketogenic diet focuses on using a low carb, high fat approach to help you get into nutritional ketosis. When you’re in ketosis, your body effectively starts burning fat instead of sugar.
Most people are able to go into nutritional ketosis when eating a diet that’s low in carbohydrates, high in fats, and moderate in proteins. However, I would caution you that even though you can eat junk and go into ketosis, the fact of the matter is, you want a diet that’s actually healthy and nutritious – a diet that will nourish and feed your body rather than wreck it in the long-term.
So, that’s why all the recipes in this book are Paleo as well as Ketogenic. This helps to ensure that all the ingredients are not only low carb and high fat, but also less likely to cause inflammatory effects in your body.
To that end, all the recipes in this book are naturally gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, peanut-free, legume-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. However, despite being sooooo healthy, they are still super delicious!
