Keto and exercise Part2

The ketogenic diet is a popular way of eating that is gaining more and more popularity. It’s based on the idea that eating foods low in carbohydrates and high in fat will help you lose weight quickly, increase energy levels and improve your overall health.

However, if you are doing exercise while following this diet, it can be difficult to find the right balance between maintaining your fitness routine and staying within your macros (the amount of protein, fat, carbs you need to eat every day).

That’s why we want to share our tips for making your workouts easier while on the ketogenic diet:

• Choose foods with a low-glycemic index (GI). These foods will provide you with steady energy levels throughout the day so that you don’t feel hungry or tired during workouts. Some examples include: oatmeal (GI = 52), lentils (GI = 39), quinoa (GI = 40) and brown rice (GI = 48).

• Increase your carb intake by adding some fruit into your diet. Try berries like blueberries or strawberries as they are packed with antioxidants which help fight free radicals in the body which cause cellular damage leading to premature aging among other things.
