PMR #273: Keto 101

This quick episode is focused on the Keto 101 feature we recently ran for an issue of Paleo Magazine, and it's aimed at giving you the basic, foundational information on the ketogenic diet that you might be missing in Instagram posts and casual conversations. We break down the key concepts and the terms that you need to understand; we look at the history of the keto diet and place it in the broader discussion on fasting; we give you a brief overview of the foods that fit in with the plan and talk about what happens in the body when it enters into ketosis. The article also considers why it may be worth making the switch and when to avoid the diet altogether before giving an outline of a Paleo-friendly keto diet.
