Keto Helper - Ketogenic Diet Companion

Keto Helper - Ketogenic Diet Companion

Keto helper is a ketogenic food lookup app and keto calculator, designed to make identification of foods to eat as part of the ketogenic diet or any other lchf diet (low carb high fat) easier. The ketogenic diet can be helpful to lower body fat and assist with symptoms of epilepsy and other diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Ketogenic Diet App Features:

- Comprehensive list of foods and whether they should or shouldn't be eaten when on a keto diet (based on carb, protein, and fat content).

- Filter foods and beverages by category, name, macros, and whether a food is good or bad for a lchf diet. (low carb high fat)

- Macronutrient profiles for foods: Learn the carb, protein, and fat amounts of the foods you're eating, as well as a percentage based breakdown graph of each food's macronutrient profile, to help you choose ketogenic diet foods.

- Ketogenic diet calculator

Keto Helper Premium Features:

- Personal notes: Leave personal notes on each food item for future reference. If you had a bad reaction to a food, or a specific food knocked you out of ketosis and disrupted your keto diet, leave a quick note for next time.

- Meal Analysis: This Ketogenic diet calculator lets you plan meals and view detailed macronutrient breakdowns and graphs for your meals and the foods they contain. The Ketogenic diet calculator will let you add custom quantities of multiple foods to a meal list and calculate the carbohydrate, protein, and fat quantities of your custom food list.

About the Ketogenic Diet

The Ketogenic Diet (or keto diet) is a high fat, low carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children.

The keto diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates, making it a diet commonly used for weight loss, and reduction of body fat.

Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there are insufficient carbohydrates in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, has been shown to cause a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures as well as help manage symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

Keto diets and other lchf diets (low carb high fat) such as the atkins diet have also shown promise in reducing symptoms of type 2 diabetes since eating excess carbohydrates causes blood glucose levels to spike. By reducing carbohydrate intake and switching the focus to fat, some people experience reduced blood sugar.

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which some of the body's energy supply comes from ketone bodies in the blood, in contrast to a state of glycolysis in which blood glucose provides most of the energy.

Ketosis is a nutritional process characterised by serum concentrations of ketone bodies over 0.5 mM, with low and stable levels of insulin and blood glucose. It is almost always generalized with hyperketonemia, that is, an elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood throughout the body. Ketone bodies are formed by ketogenesis when liver glycogen stores are depleted (or from metabolising medium-chain triglycerides).
