It depends on several factors such as the type of medication, the underlying health condition, and the individual’s response to treatment.…

Ever since I started keto dieting I’ve been very aware of how many carbs I’m taking in. Too many I’m out of ketosis, bummer. I’ve found that if I keep below 50g it’s no problem but sometimes 50g just isn’t enough. I’ve been keto for over a few months now and I have turned into that guy who skips ice cream, chocolate, biscuits and all the good stuff, yep I’ve become a total loser, but occasionally I need to dip my toes in the pool.

Transitioning and maintaining a state of ketosis requires discipline. The aim should be to consume less than 50g of carbohydrates and approximately 65 – 75% of your calorie intake should come from fats. Idyllically, you should be consuming 5 to 10 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 15 to 30 percent of calories from proteins, and approximately 65 to 75 percent calories from fat sources or even more, so as to obtain the maximum benefits from the ketone bodies that are produced by the liver.

I’m the type of guy that before I make any purchase, big or small, will spend a good couple hours researching it and reading every review I can get my hands (or eyes) on. Gyms however, never seem to have any good reviews, and by good I mean detailed.
