The answer is no. you do not need to follow a ketogenic diet to experience the benefits of Keto OS or Keto Max. Some people do follow a low carb or ketogenic diet to accelerate fat loss or for the many other benefits studies have shown to be able to achieve. There are many that start our program without plans to change their diet, but after drinking it for a little while, feel the desire to make better food choices. Most don’t realize how easy it is to eat healthy while taking our supplement.

Most people start a ketogenic diet to lose weight, but there are many other benefits to following a Keto diet plan.
A ketogenic diet is 75% fats, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates.
Meat: Any type is approved for the keto diet, including beef, chicken, pork, game meat, etc. It is ok to also eat the fat on the meat because this will help you consume your daily fat requirement. The skin on the chicken is also ok to eat, although breaded chicken is not ok. Organic or grass fed meat is always the best choice.
Fish and shellfish: All kinds of fish are approved: Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel or herring are perfect. You will want to avoid having any breading on your fish.
Eggs: Organic eggs are best. You can eat boiled, fried, scrambled, poached eggs.
Natural fat, high-fat sauces: Butter and cream are both great to use in cooking food. These will help you feel full and they make food taste great! Hollandaise sauce is a popular one for the keto diet, you can make your ow. Coconut oil and olive oil are also popular options for cooking. Coconut oil is great to use in baking.
Vegetables: Some vegetables are better choices because they are lower in carbs and/or higher in vitamins. Some examples are; romain lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts. asparagus, zucchini, eggplant, olives, spinach, mushrooms, cucumber, avocado, onions, peppers.
Dairy products: When it comes to dairy full fat is the better choice. Examples include; real butter, cream (40% fat), sour cream, Greek/Turkish yogurt and high-fat cheeses. Regular cow’s milk or skim milk contain a lot of milk sugar and should be avoided. Avoid sugary and low-fat dairy products. Unsweetened almond and coconut milk is a great substitute.
Nuts: Make a great snack but must be eaten in moderation. Choose nuts lower in carbs. A few almonds can cut the hungry feeling.
Berries: Berries can be ok in moderation or as a garnish. I like to use whipping cream with a few berries as a topping or treat!
Drink: Water, Coffee (best with full-fat cream) and Tea.
For Special Occasions:
Alcohol: Dry wine (regular red or dry white wine), whisky, brandy, vodka and cocktails without sugar. Can mix with Perrier or non sugar beverages
Dark chocolate: Above 70% cocoa is ok in moderation.
Ketogenic Diet Foods to AvoidSugar: This is the worst food on this list. Includes but not limited to; sugary soft drinks, candy, fruit juice, sports drinks, chocolate, cakes, buns, pastries, ice cream, breakfast cereals. Beware of artificially sweeteners as well. Try to choose naturally flavored foods and beverages.
Starch: Includes; bread (all kinds), pasta, rice, potatoes, fries, chips, oatmeal, muesli etc. Legumes, beans and lentils.
Root Vegetables: Small amounts of root vegetables are ok (unless you’re eating extremely strict keto)
Margarine: Man made, imitated butter. Has no health benefits, tastes bad. Possibly linked to disease. Avoid at all costs.
Beer: Regular beer is high in carbs and should be avoided. Low carb beers are now sold in some ares and are ok in moderation. See list of ‘ok’ liquor above.
Fruit: Natural fruit still contains lots of sugar. Eat in moderation. Treat fruit as a natural form of candy and eat sparingly. (Berries are your best fruit option if you are going to eat)
