One of the most amazing aspects of the Heart Healthy Keyto Program is that you do not have to spend time tracking food. Simply focus on eating delicious foods derived primarily from fish and plant-based sources to satiety and then stop.
The concept of eating to satiety may sound foreign particularly if you have tried other diets. Most programs dictate the type and quantity of food to eat and usually leaves you feeling hungry and deprived.
But, Keyto gives YOU the control and power. Simply get most of your foods from healthy sources of fats, limit carbs to roughly 20-30 grams daily, and stop eating when you’re full. That’s it! Simple, right? Studies show that people who eat a low-carb ketogenic diet to satiety lost more weight and fat than those following a calorie-restricted, low-carb diet. What this means is you can eat delicious foods, feel satisfied, and achieve weight loss goals easier than with other programs.
Tips to Feel Satisfied
Eat More High-Fiber Carbs – adds bulk to your meal, promotes satiety, and are an excellent source of vitamins and nutrients.
Keep Healthy Fat Intake High – fats are highly satiating and essential for a ketogenic lifestyle.
Eat More Salads – Adds bulk to your meals to promote satiety. However, be cautious of dressings. Some dressings are packed with sugar that can kick you out of ketosis. Check nutrition labels, or make your own! We have plenty of delicious salad dressing recipes in our Keto Recipes section.
Limit Simple Carbs and Sugar – spikes sugar and insulin and leaves you feeling hungry again in minutes.
Drink Enough Water – water adds volume to your food to promote satiety
Get Your Calories from whole foods – liquid and highly-processed foods are digested rapidly by your body and leaves you feeling hungry. Whole foods take longer to digest, which leaves you feeling fuller, longer.
Establish Good Habits – avoid things that promote poor eating habits (eating until you’re stuffed, buffets, excessive snacking while watching TV).
