A ketogenic diet (keto) is a very low-carb diet, that turns the body into a fat-burning machine. It has many potential benefits for weight loss, health and performance. But there are also potential drawbacks and side effects.
A ketogenic diet is similar to other strict low-carb diets, like the Atkins diet or LCHF (low carb, high fat). These diets often end up being ketogenic more or less by accident. The main difference between strict LCHF and keto is that protein is restricted in the latter.
A keto diet is designed specifically to result in ketosis. It’s possible to measure and adapt to reach optimal ketone levels for health, weight loss, or for physical and mental performance.
On our brand new guide page you can learn all you need to do that.

Michel Lundell managed to get his epilepsy under control using a ketogenic diet (this is now an accepted and proven treatment).
To make it easier to track his ketone levels – and being an engineer – he then developed the first ketone breath analyser, called the Ketonix.
In this short talk from Low Carb Vail he tells his story, and describes different ways of tracking ketone levels in the body.
After that Alison Gannet talks about being diagnosed with a massive malignant brain tumor in 2013. She had surgery to remove it and has then used a ketogenic diet to hopefully reduce the risk of relapse – so far so good. Here she talks about her journey, including tips and tricks for how to stay in optimal ketosis.

What would happen if you spent a year eating a very low-carb diet, a ketogenic diet, while tracking all kinds of blood tests and other things?
Dr. Jim McCarter did just that and presented his findings at the recent Low Carb Vail conference in this 10 minute talk. The complete presentation is now available on our member site:

The Metron breath ketone test
Do you want a simple way to check for ketosis, without a urine or blood test? It’s also possible to check you breath for ketones (acetone). This has already been possible for some time with the Ketonix reusable breath analyser (costing $149).
Now the Ketonix is joined by the just-launched disposable test Metron, which can be ordered via Amazon ($28 for 10 tests).
Metron is cheaper if you only want to do a few tests (up to 50 tests), but the reusable Ketonix is cheaper if you want to do more tests than that – testing is free once you have one.
At some point we may do a test of Ketonix vs. Metron. Would you find that interesting? Or do you already have your own experience comparing these two devices? Please leave a comment.
Can you cure your epilepsy without medication? Yes, this seems possible for many. At least you can keep the disease in remission long term with a change in lifestyle – without the need for strong drugs or their side effects.
Here’s Michel Lundell’s story:
Here’s low-carb blogger Jimmy Moore at the recent obesity conference. He’s smiling about soon hitting two consecutive years in deep ketosis (and 80 pounds or so lost).
The gadget he’s holding up is a new breath analyzer for acetone (i.e one of the two main ketone bodies). Yellow light means plenty of acetone.
The gadget is $99 and is good for any number of measurements. It seems to work pretty well. Better than urine strips but not quite as good as the gold standard: blood measurements.
