Hey everybody! So we have had a lot of talk on many different keto groups (especially ours at Ketogenic Diet Recipes on Facebook) about what constitutes a proper or “real” ketogenic lifestyle. Now im here to bust any idea of the fact that a ketogenic lifestyle should be perfect. It really shouldn’t be or you wouldn’t learn anything from it. Also there is no such thing as a proper ketogenic diet. Not at all. Want to know why? Because so long as your body achieves and stays in a state of ketosis regardless of what you ingest, that is a ketogenic diet. Whether you do 50 total carbs or 20 carbs, paleo keto, strict keto without inflammatory foods or if it fits your macros, so long as you are in ketosis you are doing a ketogenic diet. That is the be all and end all. There is no “perfect, one size fits all” keto and that is okay! Figure out what works for you and stick to it. Make sense? Great! Let’s carry on.
Why the photos? I’m a huge believer in pictures being worth 1000 words. This shows some of the different foods I have made and ate throughout my journey so far and how much my body has changed throughout. Enjoy this picture set and the captures below. They show a bunch of different sides of my ketogenic lifestyle with dishes including dairy, higher proteins, lots of greens and many dishes made outside of my home. I hope this inspires you both in the kitchen and in spirit!

Montreal August 2016. Couldn’t believe how much bigger I looked. I ate all the food on that holiday and looked as bloated as I felt.
