food fundamentals

The diet that we are trying to get you to achieve is one of limited carbs, this is not to say that carbohydrates are bad, as we do need healthy carbohydrates to achieve optimal health. We want you to fill up on lots of nutrient rich vegetables, these will flood your body with the nutrients that it is craving, they will also help alkalise the body which is hugely important for energy production and reducing inflammation in the body. By reducing your starchy carbohydrate in take you will naturally add more vegetables to “fill yourself up”. Not only will this help in turn with your nutrients it will also put the body into slight ketosis which will help your body burn fat, and ultimately in the reset we want to see some weight loss.

We don’t want you to think this is keto in the normal keto sense, normally the keto or dirty keto diet does not look at the body’s nutrient requirements and just concentrates on fat burning; bacon wrapped cheese is not going to make an appearance here! So yes it’s protein and lots of vegetables but we hope the recipes will inspire you and if you make something delicious please do share it with us on our Facebook page.

Also we need to have a quick chat about dairy; It’s very limited on this diet, there may be recipes which include natural yogurt and feta cheese and that’s fine but on the whole it is kept to a bare minimum, you can use butter on your vegetables and for cooking.

Take a look at the list below for what you can have.
