Dirty Keto Upgrades
Interested in keto dieting but want a simplified solution without meal prep or quality food worries? These dirty keto recipes will help you meet your macros without cheating – made with premium fats, protein-rich meals and sugar-free sweeteners to satisfy macro requirements without increasing blood sugar levels.
Dirty keto, also referred to as lazy keto, is a variation on the keto diet which allows for flexible macronutrient requirements by eating whatever low in carbohydrates suits you best. While it can help people just starting their journey or looking for an easy way to stay in ketosis when life gets busy, over time a dirty keto diet may cause increased inflammation and nutritional deficiencies due to processed food that contain harmful additives that make them taste good but are harmful to health; clean keto prioritizes whole foods over processed ones like grass-fed ghee, coconut oil or MCT oils when setting macronutrient targets for staying in ketosis or staying in ketosis when busy – something dirty keto cannot do
Strawberry Shake

Also consider including one tablespoon of MCT oil as it will keep you feeling satisfied while staying on the diet.
