Real Food Keto vs Dirty Keto

Protein Choices

David Jockers emphasizes the importance of choosing clean protein sources for a ketogenic diet to maximize health benefits. He suggests opting for grass-fed, organic, and pasture-raised animal products, such as beef, lamb, and wild-caught seafood, to avoid toxins and enhance nutrient intake. Jockers also highlights the benefits of bone broth, rich in glycine and other nutrients, for supporting hair, skin, nails, and joints 1.

The goal again here is to get nutritional ketosis while minimizing toxins and maximizing healing nutrients.

He advises against conventional animal products and encourages incorporating nuts and seeds that are raw or dry roasted to maintain a clean keto diet 2.

   

Good Fats

Choosing the right fats is crucial for a successful ketogenic diet, according to David Jockers. He warns against the use of refined vegetable oils, advocating instead for fats from sources like grass-fed butter, coconut oil, and olive oil. These fats not only support ketosis but also aid in detoxification and overall health 3.

We want to focus on this left side here. Butter tallow, particularly grass fed butter. Grass fed tallow, which is beef fat, ghee, which is clarified butter, coconut milk, coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, fish oil, and eggs.
