The Keto diet is a low carb, high-fat diet designed to encourage your body to burn more fat for energy. With an absence of carbohydrates to draw on for energy, your body will enter a metabolic state called ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state that involves switching from carbohydrates to fatty acids (in the form of ketones) as your main source of fuel. Following a calorie-controlled keto diet as part of a healthy lifestyle can aid in weight loss. Keto is best for anyone that enjoys a more savory, high-fat style of eating and doesn’t mind giving up traditional carb foods like bread, pasta, and sweets. Clean Eatz's keto meal plan provides high amounts of healthy fats and lean proteins while restricting carbohydrates per meal and a perfectly portioned, nutritious dish to support your weight loss goals. 

It depends. It's generally accepted that anyone eating less than 50g of carbs a day can be on a keto diet. Once you begin to get acclimated to the diet, you may choose to restrict your carbs even further. Some customers go as far down as 15-20g of carbs per day. Determining how many carbohydrates to eat on a keto diet will depend on your body type, diet goals, and lifestyle. Figuring out your macros is the first step to limiting net carbohydrates on a keto diet.

The objective of a keto diet is to force your body to rely on more fat for energy than carbohydrates. This process of switching to fat (or ketone bodies) for fuel is called ketogenesis, and the state of being in ketogenesis is called ketosis. 

Fiber is a type of carb that is not easily absorbed by the body (meaning it won't affect blood sugar levels or insulin the same way sugars do). When doing a keto diet, adherents subtract the grams of fiber from the total grams of carbohydrates to get the net carbs of a food. Net carbs are generally what keto adherents measure. 

Keto is a macro based low-carb diet, meaning no foods are excluded as long as you hit your daily keto macronutrient goals. Of course certain foods can make this harder or easier. Popular foods for people trying to achieve ketosis all contain high levels of fat as a percentage of calories - meat, oils, nuts, dairy. Foods that will work against you in achieving ketosis are high in carbohydrates as a percent of calories - breads, rice, vegetables, drinks. Additionally, the quality of these food choices can impact your overall health and ability to lose weight on this meal plan.
