🧪 Why is "high-fat protein" more suitable for ketosis?
|
reason |
illustrate |
|
🧬 Protein stimulates insulin |
Lean meat protein → Increased insulin → Suppressed ketosis |
|
🥑 High fat content promotes bile secretion |
Aids in fat digestion → Reduces the risk of gallstones |
|
🔥 High fat intake produces more ketones |
It has therapeutic effects on epilepsy and the nervous system. |
|
😌 More satisfying |
Reduce eating frequency → Support intermittent fasting |
📌 Recommended proportions for a ketogenic diet: 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbohydrates (half of which should come from vegetables).

✅ How to increase fat intake?
- Add butter, coconut oil, and olive oil
- Pair with high-fat nuts (such as macadamia nuts and walnuts).
- Choose canned fish preserved in oil (such as sardines or cod liver).
- Retain the fatty parts of the meat (such as chicken skin and steak fat).
🧾 In conclusion: Don't assume that "lean meat = healthy" anymore. Knowing how to choose high-fat protein is key to a true ketogenic diet.
Hong Kong people's diet tends to be low-fat and high-carb. True ketosis involves more than just cutting out sugar; it also requires knowing how to supplement with fat . Starting today, a hamburger patty, a spoonful of cod liver, and a macadamia nut will set the baseline for your health!
Don't be trapped by the myth that "high-fat = unhealthy." Knowing how to choose, how to balance, and how to follow the ketogenic diet are the keys to true health! 💪🥩🥑
