Anonymous says, "For someone on a keto diet, 80 grams total carbs, 40 g net, greater than
1 ketones," I assume that's more than 1 millimolar beta-hydroxybutyrate, "what supplements would
you recommend?
Any concerns with carbs being that low?"
I don't know that I would specifically tailor supplements on the basis of this data.
So, someone's on a keto diet, they have 80 grams total carbs.
I mean, where are the carbs coming from?
That's really going to determine whether the person needs supplements.
So, on a keto diet in general, I think—and protein, too, right?
If you're eating a lot of fat instead of protein, then you're going to need supplements of the
things found in protein foods.
If your carbs are all coming from, I don't know, honey, then you're going to need things
that are found in vegetables.
You just can't tailor based on that data.
But probably the biggest things would be make sure you're getting a gram of protein per
pound of body weight if your ketones and goals can handle that load of protein.
That'll protect you from a lot of nutrient deficiencies right there.
Try to cook your proteins in ways that recapture the juices.
That will help conserve the electrolytes.
And you probably want salt and either a lot of low-volume, low-net carb vegetables, or
you're probably going to need more potassium in your diet.
So, those are the big things
that I'd look at.
