CHOOSE THE BEST KETO LIFESTYLE
FOR YOU
At the end of the day, these keto diet tips will help anyone wanting to jump start their keto journey, but it doesn’t mean there’s a one-size-fits-all solution.
Different people do low carb in different ways, that’s okay!
Often times people ask me about the different ways people can follow keto, and here are some of the most common:
STRICT KETO
- Strictly monitor calories and macros, usually with a tracking app
- Eat only clean, whole foods – focus is on nutrients
- Most carbs come from low carb vegetables
- Avoid wheat, gluten, artificial sweeteners, and added sugars, even if overall carb count is low
LAZY KETO
- Track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking
- Approach to food may be clean (like strict keto) or not (like dirty keto)
DIRTY KETO
- An “if it fits your macros” approach to keto
- Strictly monitor calories and macros, usually with a tracking app
- You can eat anything even if it’s processed, artificial, or even has added sugar, as long as it fits your macros

LOW CARB
- Similar to lazy keto, but more lenient on carbs
- Carb limit can be as high as 50 grams, or even up to 100 grams for some people wanting more flexibility
- In addition to keto friendly foods, moderate carb foods may also be allowed
Curious what kind of keto I personally follow? I do a hybrid of strict and lazy keto. I do not track macros all the time (though I have gone through periods of doing so) and just eat keto foods without tracking, but I choose clean keto foods (no wheat, artificial ingredients, or added sugars).
You can see there are many ways to do it. All of them have benefits and can be effective, so do what works best for you!
