What is Dirty Keto?

What is dirty keto? You might have posted on social media something that you just ate or how you have lost “x” amount of pounds eating a certain type of food. Only for someone to come back and comment, ” that’s dirty keto “

So what is dirty keto? Also called lazy keto, it is basically a way for people to get into ketosis without having to take the time to prepare clean keto meals. This means Dirty Keto allows for processed and re-packaged foods to be present in your keto diet. For example, you might decide to go to a certain fast food place and order a bacon double cheeseburger ( minus the bun ) Well yes that is protein right, in the cheese and meats?  But is it healthy? You could have bought some grass fed steak mince and gone home to make yourself a nice grilled steak with salad. 

Processed foods contain a lot of sodium which is bad for those sensitive to salt and can also increase your blood pressure and risk of heart disease. 

Processed foods are also low in the vitamins and micronutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. 

So Dirty keto might be convenient for people with a busy lifestyle or that are too lazy to prepare healthier meals from scratch. But have a think first. Why are you doing keto in the first place? If it is to lose weight and be healthier overall, then why put in the processed foods such as takeaways, fizzy drinks and other processed foods. Try to stick to recipes with 4 or less ingredients, to enjoy the best keto lifestyle.
