Keto, Palio and LCHF


(M Harikishan) #1

Hello every body. I have just joined the forum after reading accidentally the wonderful story of Ms. Brenda. I am very much impressed. I am confused between Keto, Palio and LCHF diets. Please clarify the differences among these three.

Hi @Harikishan ,

Keto is stricter than the other two as you must keep your carbohydrate intake to 20g or less, moderate protein & fat is eaten to satiety. This will lead to ketosis.

LCHF is less strict as you keep your carbs 100g or less, moderate protein & fat to satiety. You most likely will not enter ketosis.

Paleo allows all fruits & veg, protein, fats and very minimal ancient grains. Your macros can be set how you wish. You won’t enter ketosis.

I hope this helps clear it up for you. And, welcome to the forum!

@Harikishan, absolutely. I just happened to be on at the right time and had the answer. It doesn’t always happen for me like that, lol.
I hope you are enjoying the forums!

Welcome!

Just to clarify: Paleo can result in being in ketosis depending on how low carb one goes. Most folks who have been paleo for a while have at least experimented with ketosis, and it generally feels like a pretty natural extension of paleo/ancestral eating.
