There’s a lot of hype surrounding the ketogenic diet lately, and people have been using it for everything from weight loss to diabetes. Here’s the low down on this popular diet.
 

What exactly is a “keto�? diet?  

A true ketogenic diet is one that is very high in fat, low in protein, and very low in carbohydrates. It is typically comprised of about 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbohydrate. Ketogenic diets typically restrict carbs to less than 50 grams of carbohydrate per day, although the exact amount of carb restriction needed to enter ketosis varies depending on the person.

The reality is, everyone needs protein. It is one of three macronutrients, along with carbohydrates and fat, that the body requires to function optimally.

Protein also helps transport the body’s atoms and cells.

• Pumpkins: Few things say autumn more than pumpkins, but did you know that this fall favorite is also chock full of nutrients? Pumpkin is an excellent source of potassium and vitamin A, which are important nutrients for healthy hair, skin, and nails. Opt for sugar pie or baby bear pumpkins – they are smaller and sweeter, and better for baking and cooking. Make your own pumpkin puree and toss into baked goods such as pies, scones, or cookies.
