Summary
What if your protein intake is the reason why you’re not reaching nutritional ketosis?
Be honest. Are you too afraid to eat enough protein since you’ve heard it will kick you out of ketosis or prevent you from reaching it altogether?
Or are you more concerned that you’re eating too much protein on keto and that’s why you’re stuck gaining weight instead of losing it?
As the Ketogenic Girl, Vanessa Spina, shares, there are some things that will kick you out of ketosis, but protein is probably not the culprit here.
Find out in this episode what could be to blame and how Vanessa went from being vegetarian to carnivore and realized that increasing protein and reducing carbs was the secret sauce to optimizing her health and feeling better.
She’ll also share her best tips, including the exact areas she struggled with, to help other people heal so they can reach nutritional ketosis too.
Tune in to the episode now to learn more about what happens when you increase your protein intake on keto!
