The plate

  • 70%non-starchy vegetables
  • 20%protein
  • 10%added fat

Steps

  1. 01Salt your food until it tastes vivid. Add a pinch to water if your head pounds.
  2. 02Build every plate around potassium foods: avocado, spinach, mushrooms, salmon.
  3. 03Take magnesium in the evening — glycinate is the gentle form.
  4. 04Keep a mug of salted bone broth in the fasting window.
  5. 05If fog lingers, add nutritional yeast (B1) with your first meal.

Eat

  • Avocado
  • Spinach
  • Mushrooms
  • Bone broth
  • Sea salt
  • Salmon
  • Olives

Skip

  • Plain water marathons
  • Sweating without re-salting
  • Dirty-keto bars

Food-first notes

  • Electrolyte powder

    The first stack in almost every Healthy Keto protocol. Replaces what the kidneys dump when insulin falls.

  • Magnesium glycinate

    Sleep, cramps, and vitamin D activation. Oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed for many.

  • Nutritional yeast

    B1, B3, and B5 are often discussed for keto-adaptation, nerves, and stress load. Yeast is the tasty way there.

People on blood-pressure or potassium-sparing medicines must not add extra potassium without a clinician. Educational only — not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
