The really short version is: “keto” (or a well-formulated ketogenic diet/lifestyle) is quite literally any way of eating that allows your body to produce a form of energy known as ketones (hence the term “ketogenic”). It’s measurable by your metabolic response and is, therefore, a pretty clearly definable thing (though that doesn’t stop people from […]

You likely won’t spend much time in online keto spaces before hearing talk of the dreaded keto flu, with fellow keto-ers commiserating together, recommending pickle juice and maybe sharing GIFs in solidarity. But what is the keto flu, and more importantly, how can you avoid it? What is the keto flu? Simply put, the “keto […]
