    Hi there! I'm not far from Ottawa. I don't know much about ketogenic, but I do know something about how to wear double long-johns to take my dog for walks in the winter :wink:

    A ketogenic diet is a low carb diet where carbs are restricted below 100 grams. That's the general interpretation anyhow. Not all low carb diets are ketogenic though.
  • A typical ketogenic diet is 5% carbs 20% protein and 75% fat.
    Carb limits are generally 20g or less and that is your max.
    Many people to ketogenic diets with processed foods "butter, bacon, sausage, cheeses"
    I try to keep a clean Keto of chicken and turkey breast, ground turkey, coconut and olive oil, eggs, spinach, broccoli....
    I use bacon and brick cheese as a cheat meal.
