Ready to follow the ketogenic diet?
Here are some great resources to get you started.
Start with a tracking app. I look for ones that display both the grams and percentages of calories. The free version Carbohydrate Manager App is one of the good ones.
Here is the link https://www.carbmanager.com
This blog post on the CARB MANAGER post will help you set it up and understand its great features.
CARB MANAGER, the most comprehensive and easiest to use net and total carb counter. Here is a link https://2healthyhabits.wordpress.com/2025/08/22/carb-manager-the-most-comprehensive-and-easiest-to-use-net-and-total-carb-counter/

Supplements: I trust Restore by Tennant Products. It contains all the vitamins and minerals you need to support you on a daily basis.
On my weight loss journey I have learned:
1. Fat burning can take 2 to 6 weeks depending on the current level of insulin resistance.
2. That protein should be restricted more than stated in the appendices. See my post: How Much Protein Do You Need for Nutritional Ketosis?
3. What you need to know about ketosis.
WebMed: What are the risks? https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/type-1-diabetes-guide/what-is-ketosis#1
To clarify: ketoacidosis should not be confused with nutritional ketosis?
Unlike the dangerous condition of diabetic ketoacidosis, nutritional ketosis is a natural metabolic state that allows the body to efficiently use fat as a primary energy source instead of glucose. When one shifts into ketosis, one becomes a “fat burner” rather than a “sugar burner,” relying on fat as the primary cellular fuel. Ketones are produced as a byproduct of lipid metabolism, and nutritional ketosis is defined by measuring blood ketones between 0.5 and 5.0 mmol/l.
Leading scientists recommend supplementing with magnesium, potassium and sodium, such as sea salt or Himalayan sea salt.
I choose to get the magnesium, potassium and all the other vitamins and minerals I need from Restore. Here is a link that explains more about Restore. https://tennantproducts.com/pages/collections-restore
I don’t make any money from these products, I share my experience with those who want to benefit from my experience.
