Frequently Asked Questions

Is a ketogenic diet safe?

Ketogenic diets can be safe and effective when done properly under professional guidance. Our registered dietitians ensure your nutrition remains balanced and you get necessary nutrients. People with certain health conditions need medical supervision, which we coordinate.

What is keto flu and how long does it last?

Keto flu is temporary symptoms during the transition to ketosis including fatigue, headaches, and irritability. It typically lasts 1-2 weeks. Our electrolyte support and guidance help minimize these symptoms significantly.

Can I stay in ketosis forever?

Some people maintain ketogenic nutrition long-term, while others use it for initial weight loss then transition to other eating patterns. We help you determine the best long-term approach for your body and lifestyle. The goal is finding sustainable eating patterns.

Will my weight loss stop on keto?

Like any diet, weight loss can eventually plateau. When this happens, we adjust your macro ratios, add cycling protocols, or incorporate other strategies. Regular testing helps us identify the issue and optimize your approach.

Can I exercise on a ketogenic diet?

Yes, you can exercise on keto, though some people need carbs around workouts for best performance. We can design a cyclical or targeted keto approach if you're very active. Your dietitian helps optimize your nutrition for your activity level.

What if I don't like the foods on a ketogenic diet?

We work with you to build a plan around foods you actually enjoy. The key is meeting macro requirements, not eating specific foods. There's more variety possible on keto than most people realize.

How do I know if I'm in ketosis?

We can test your ketone levels through blood, urine, or breath testing. Urine strips are inexpensive and convenient for home monitoring. Regular testing with us ensures you're actually in ketosis and optimizing your results.

Are your supplements necessary?

Supplements enhance results and address common nutritional gaps in ketogenic diets. They're not absolutely required, but most clients see better results and feel better with proper supplementation. Our recommendations are based on your individual testing.
