What is lazy keto?<\/h2>\n

Lazy keto \u2014 a term coined by the popular blog DirtyLazyKeto.com<\/a> \u2014 is, simply put, a very relaxed version of traditional keto. Some people also refer to it as dirty keto<\/em>. Instead of worrying about diet math,\u00a0you just fill up on whatever low-carb foods suit your fancy, so you can take your pick of protein, fat, veggies, even zero-carb sweetener and low-carb bread and tortillas. Nothing to measure, no pressure to eat veggies, no need to avoid packaged keto foods. On lazy keto, shortcuts are encouraged.\u00a0(Click through to learn more about the difference between clean keto and dirty keto.)<\/p>\n

Like any version of keto, \u201cthis strategy helps drastically reduce consumption of foods that turn into blood sugar, which forces the body to begin fueling itself with fat instead of sugar,\u201d explains keto expert and\u00a0The A-List Diet<\/a><\/em>\u00a0author Fred Pescatore, MD<\/a>. While the doctor does encourage you to eat nutritious foods for overall health, \u201cit\u2019s far more important to be consistent over the long-term than to be \u2018perfect\u2019 for two weeks and revert back to eating high-carb junk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duke University\u2019s Eric Westman, MD<\/a>, agrees: \u201cMaking keto doable long-term is the key,\u201d he says. And it\u2019s why he tells folks to eat what they love \u2014 bacon, keto cookie cereal, even bun-less Big Macs. Because simply skipping most carbs in lazy keto meals gets our bodies to turn fat into fuel called\u00a0ketones.<\/em>\u00a0And ketone production is proven to help boost overall health\u00a0and\u00a0significantly increase fat burn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The best way to start lazy keto<\/h2>\n

To get started on lazy keto, start keeping track\u00a0of net carbs \u2014 the total carbs in a food minus any fiber grams. Why bother? Because fiber is a type of carb the body can\u2019t absorb, it doesn\u2019t count toward your daily carb limit. Example: An avocado has 12 grams of carbs and 9 grams of fiber, leaving 3 net carbs. \u201cAim for 20 to 50 net carbs per day,\u201d suggests Stephanie Laska<\/a>, author of\u00a0Dirty, Lazy, Keto<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Extra Easy Keto<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Then when you feel ready, simply eyeball portions and keep a rough tally of carbs. That\u2019s all there is to it!\u00a0<\/p>\n
