Nourish To Thrive

No, low carb diets lie on a spectrum. Keto is just one of the types of low carb diets.

Each type has their own level of carb restriction, based on your individual carb threshold - the amount of carbs that make you feel good.

Some people can experience improvements in their symptoms on 120g carbs/day, some won't. It depends on your level of insulin resistance and your physical activity.

Ketogenic diet is a type of low carb diet, usually very low in carbs (up to 20-30 g/day) and unlike other types of low carb diets, on keto your body fuels itself with fat, not glucose. So it's kind of unique in that way.

In my practice I explain the term "low carb" as anything lower than what the average American eats in a day (around 450g/day) while the physiological need for glucose is only 120g/day or less.

You might think a nutritionist is all about calorie cutting. Nope!
As a society, we have focused on that approach for decades and if it really worked, then we wouldn't have the epidemic of obesity we have now!

My approach as an NTP is different. It’s about GIVING your body what it needs to heal itself, NOT STARVING you to death. Hence the “NOURISH” in the name of my practice.

Your body is your best doctor.
All it needs is proper nutrients, not more medications.
