I’ve been interviewed over 100 times in the last 2 months and the thing most people want to know is the difference between keto versus keto-green!
Now, if you’ve been following me for awhile and read my book, you can answer this. You may also be asked this same question as you share your journey being keto-green. So read on.
If you are new to this, I will clarify a few things.
Maybe you have tried keto dieting but haven’t been able to stick to it? Or maybe you felt miserable and cranky while on it as I had? That’s no fun!
Here’s the solution: Go “Keto-Green,” my breakthrough detox, lifestyle and diet plan outlined in my book The Hormone Fix.
My Keto-Green Way is more than a refinement of the traditional keto diet. It does include more alkaline vegetables, especially low-carb green veggies, and dietary and lifestyle strategies to maintain the fat-burning state called ketosis. I also emphasize a “test don’t guess” rationale of checking urine pH it to get it to 7 - 8 regularly. Very quickly, you will experience the following benefits:
- Rapid and steady weight loss
- More energy and less fatigue
- Improved sleep
- More clarity
- Resolution of symptoms related to fluctuating hormones associated with perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause (This is because the Keto-Green Diet naturally manages your body’s three most important hormones – insulin, cortisol, and oxytocin!)
- Glowing skin and hair
- Improved health and feelings of well-being.
There are very specific differences between traditional keto dieting and the Keto-Green Diet. Here’s the skinny:
Ketogenic Diet |
My Keto-Green Diet |
Favors many acidic foods such as meats and strictly reduced carbs |
Favors alkaline and plant foods such as green leafy vegetables and other low-calorie veggies. Favors free range, wild caught, and clean protein sources. |
Favors more acidic fats like butter and bacon |
Favors more alkaline fats like avocado, nuts, and olive oil |
Is based on the ratio of eating 60 to 75 percent of your daily calories from fat (60 to 120 grams daily); 5 to 10 percent of your calories from carbs (20 to 50 grams a day); and 15 to 30 percent of your daily calories from protein (approximately 100 to 150 grams or slightly more, depending on your body weight and activity level). |
Is based on a different ratio and plate image. Visualize a plate with a majority of alkaline foods (with a ton of low carb veggies) and 20 percent high quality protein and fats. KG encourages ketosis through intermittent fasting and no snacking. KG focuses on principles to manage the hormones insulin, cortisol and oxytocin |
Limits (or even restricts) fruits to berries |
Allows a larger variety of low-sugar fruits for greater alkalinity |
Has potential side effects such as keto-flu, dehydration, nausea, and other issues that stem from eating too many acid-forming |
Prevents these side effects by incorporating plenty of plant-based alkaline foods and a “test, don’t guess”, philosophy |
Can build-up acidic toxicity in cells |
Has a natural detoxifying effect on the body, thanks to the inclusion of vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts, and cabbage – all of which help eliminate the build-up of acidity in your cells |
Tests ketones only |
Tests urine ketones and alkalinity (pH). Use my special Keto-Ph test strips and follow the directions to get your results. |
