Grant Petersen’s keto diet

After Dave Asprey’s bulletproof diet , it has become fashionable to follow the diet and fitness advice of a famous person in his field, whether he is a successful manager or a TV anchorman. And in fact, the new keto diet that is causing discussion in America comes from Grant Petersen , the owner of a bicycle company, also known to the American public for the success of his first book, Just Ride, where he advised what to do and what no to become a real biker. Petersen is in fact the founder of Rivendell Bicycle Work , so I also find it legitimate that if you work in an industry and are also a real biker, you write a book for bikers.
There is. But a book with diet and fitness tips, with a slightly indie cover?Did we feel the need for another guru who advises us to put aside everything the doctors say and follow him? A little as if our best friend replaced our gynecologist, she has a sex like ours, so she will know how to do a pap test. Well, in a nutshell it’s the same logic.

Logic that we do not need, since most of us when we have weight problems do not consult a dietician in advance, but rely on the advice of a friend or blog (and I have a blog). So why not listen to Grant Petersen at this point? Here is what he recommends to us to be slim forever and in shape forever: do a keto diet, that is, a ketogenic diet in which carbohydrates are banned, and replaced by fats. He diet that many have followed, even losing three sizes in a short time. Let’s see Grant Petersen’s keto diet in pills, that is the diet of “Eat bacon, don’t jog” (Eat bacon, don’t run).

GRANT PETERSEN AND HIS KETO DIET
1) Stop eating lettuce and light salad: eat dark leaf salad , such as escarole, kale, spinach.
2) Do not eat a lot of fruit : it is established (by those who do not know) that the liver cannot bear the fructose load of fruit. A low-sugar fruit a day if you really have to. 3) The foods to avoid are all those with many carbohydrates : no to complex carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, cereals, simple sugars and therefore no fruit. You can take a multivitamin in place of fruits and vegetables. 4) Carbohydrates must be permanently replaced with fats:

Petersen’s diet is not a cycle keto diet, that is, one of those diets in which you eliminate carbohydrates for 5 days a week and eat a lot of carbohydrates in the remaining 2 days. No. Petersen says he eats fat instead of carbohydrates, so yes to red meat, fatty cheeses, eggs, butter, oil, oilseeds, bacon. The diet is basically this.
5) Not many quantities of vegetables are allowed, and legumes are not allowed. Yes to the salad from point 1 as a side dish for lunch and dinner.
6) You can drink alcohol. But only spirits. Wine and beer contain some carbohydrates.
