by Mary Morgan (Author) Carb lovers, rejoice Because in a healthy ketogenic diet, you can have your favorite food now, the food that you worry about before for giving you lots of carbs To get started with the keto diet successfully, the first step you need to understand involves the macros of the food you are eating. Macros reflect a shorthand term used to represent macronutrients. These macronutrients or macros are the components we get from food that make sure we can give energy to the body. These macros come as a result of consuming calories in the form of carbohydrates, protein, and especially for the keto diet, fats. Being able to measure and keep track of your macros is essential for the ketogenic diet.
