About this ebook
Keto Mediterranean outlines the latest evolution of the popular keto diet—clean keto! Clean keto prioritizes good health with fresh meats and organic produce. You will lose weight just like you would on the old keto diet—you just don't have to sacrifice your health to do it.
Greek clean keto is a riff on the Mediterranean food lifestyle proposed by Greek nutritionist Apollonas Kapsalis and his wife Roberta. Regular keto diets, sometimes called dirty keto, only focus on meeting diet macros—the ratio of fats, proteins, and carbs. That's why standard keto is called dirty keto. There's no concern about the quality of foods you should eat.
Fast food and processed meats that are loaded with chemicals, sodium, and potential carcinogens are on the menu! Those types of foods put us at risk of diseases, from heart attack to stroke to Type 2 diabetes, even cancer. People who are overweight or obese tend to make poor food choices. Why would anyone propose a diet plan that continues them?
Greek clean keto is the alternative. Learn what to eat, where to buy, and what to avoid when you shop. There's a how-to on starting the plan, broken out for keto beginners and people rejecting dirty keto. The book is informative and easy to read, covering a variety of diet and health related topics.
Author Susan Zeppieri is a well known nutritionist who researches diet plans and their health benefits. "The focus on disease prevention, organic ingredients and adherence to Mediterranean cuisine is a positive step up for ketogenic diets," says Zeppieri. If you want to lose weight safely on a low carb diet, "Greeks Go Keto Mediterranean" is the book you've been looking for. Eat well, lose weight, live healthy.This book is not a recipe book! It's a quick and easy guide on how to get started on Greek Keto!

Keto Mediterranean - Susan Zeppieri
Introduction
THE PREMISE OF A KETOGENIC (or keto) diet is very low carbohydrate consumption, moderate protein consumption, and lots of fat. Keto is similar but not the same as the Atkins diet, a widely known low carb, high fat diet. On Atkins, you wean yourself off carb consumption slowly. A keto diet calls for an immediate reduction in carb intake to kick the body into a state of ketosis.
Your metabolism is how the body transforms food into fuel. Carbohydrates get processed into glucose (sugar). They are the body’s primary source of energy and when there’s not enough glucose to do the job, the body is forced to burn fat instead. That is the metabolic state of ketosis.
What is Keto?
KETO IS A BENEFICIAL change in diet for people trying to lose weight. There is a significant reduction in the consumption of carbohydrates. In the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) new dietary guidelines fruits, vegetables and grains make up 75% of the recommended diets. For a standard ketogenic diet, 70% is fat, 20% is protein, and 10% are carbs (Zoppi, 2021).
When carbs are reduced from 75% to 10%, the body is thrust into ketosis. It begins burning fat instead of glucose. Should you expect some sugar cravings? Yes, but hold on because you’re starting the journey to a healthier you.
If you’ve struggled with other diets, keto may be a good alternative for you. The first week you may dream of chocolate chip cookies. By week two, you’ll be amazed how sweet a slice of green pepper tastes.
One helpful note if you’re trying to lose weight—keto leaves you feeling full. There’s no starving yourself. The high fat content of the food leaves you satiated. No listening to your stomach growl after a lunch of low fat yogurt and a couple of carrot sticks. Have a burger, just hold the bun. Enjoy shellfish, a ribeye, or rotisserie chicken. It’s easier than ever to eat out without blowing your diet.
If you like to cook there are keto recipes galore. This is a style of eating that has staying power.
A Healthier You
A HIGH FAT, LOW CARB diet has health benefits that extend beyond weight loss. The following chapters will discuss them in full detail. We do need to note that not all keto diets are the same.
Greeks Go Keto is a new hybrid ketogenic diet that honors an authentic Mediterranean food plan. It’s called clean keto. Greeks Go Keto is focused on nutritional value and farm-to-table cooking. Founded by Apollonas Kapsalis, a nutritionist in Greece, this keto diet returns to its Mediterranean roots, sticking to foods and fats historically found in the region. It’s keto with an emphasis on eating clean while losing
