About Moderate-Keto
Keto/Banting/LCHF eating styles all have a foundation based on eliminating added sugar and highly refined carbohydrates. It’s important to control the quantity and quality of carbs that you eat or drink. A large percentage of modern weight and medical conditions can be attributed to what we call “Carbohydrate Disease”, which stems from eating too many sweetened foods, junk foods, bread, refined flours, breakfast cereals, starchy foods, sweets and all soft drinks. Our meal kits aim to provide you with around 50g of quality Net Carbs per day or less (Net Carbs = Total Carbs minus Fibre).
While strict Keto/LCHF does work well for some people, some of the time... it certainly does not suit or work for everyone. Many keto style diets restrict or eliminate many foods (that have highly beneficial nutrients and fibre) which is why there is a move towards moderation and allowing more of the food groups if the quantity is managed (e.g. the inclusion of smaller amounts of lentils, legumes, chickpeas, colourful veg, brown rice).
The misconception around fats and oils. People think that keto is a license to add unlimited fats/oils to everything (DNA test can determine how you respond to fats and whether you will personally respond positively or negatively to saturated and unsaturated fats). There certainly are benefits to high fat (for some people) to stave off hunger or improve focus. Experiment and find out what works for your body. Our meals come with normal fat/oil levels so if you can add coconut oil/butter (Saturated fat) or olive oil (Unsaturated fat) based on your personal requirements.
Moderate Keto
There are various forms of Keto (Low Carb <20g carb/day, Moderate <50g, Liberal <100g). Ours is a Moderate Keto Plan with up to 50g per day. From experience, we learn that moderation almost always beats extremism. We need to eat for nutrient density, oil is not nutrient-dense and Keto is not a licence to eat as much meat protein as you want either. Keto diets keep evolving and a moderate, enjoyable, nutrient diverse and dense lifestyle is almost always better. We've seen phenomenal results with real FitChef food positively affecting health, weight management, focus and energy.
Go moderate keto for the long term!
IMPORTANT
It is very hard to live a successful keto lifestyle unless you plan ahead. Most products in shops will derail your success, you can’t expect to find food on the run. That’s why FitChef is the most convenient way to enable your keto lifestyle.
