If you’ve ever tried the keto diet but it made you feel groggy, tired, and you barely lost weight…
It’s not your fault…
It likely has to do with how the keto diet is interacting with your thyroid.
Though many people view the keto diet as “healthy”…
It suggests you eat a lot of foods that are highly acidic, like deli meats and cheeses.
The problem is these acidic foods can put a lot of stress on the body and particularly on your thyroid.
And that’s the reason you felt groggy on the keto diet… and had a hard time losing weight…
Because the thyroid is responsible for keeping your metabolism running and your stamina where it needs to be.
So if you’ve struggled on the keto diet it’s likely that all you need to do is make a small tweak so that you’re eating more thyroid-friendly foods that neutralize acid.
I call this “green keto.”
Basically you’re going to avoid processed meats and cheeses and packaged keto bars as much as you can…
And replace them with avocado, leafy greens, cucumber, broccoli, celery, and bell peppers.
And instead of lots of red meat, you’ll opt for nuts, seeds, eggs, and seafood.
Studies show that consuming more of these foods lowers your acid levels by as much as 68%…
And as your acid levels drop, your thyroid function improves…
And when that happens, your metabolism is going to kick into high gear and you’ll have tons more energy.
So if you want to try it out, aim to fill 75% of your plate with non-starchy veggies.
Add a serving of protein on the side.
Then include two servings of plant fats, like avocados, nuts, seeds, or olive oil.
Try that for a week and see if it doesn’t make a world of difference.
