The most common mistake people make when following a low-carb diet is eating too much protein! Excess protein in your diet will turn into glucose in your body and may prevent ketosis and, consequently, weight loss. You may be thinking – hey! The largest part of the keto food pyramid is filled with meat. While this is true, our focus is actually on the fat content of these foods. Fatty cuts of meat should be supplemented with other healthy fats from this level on the pyramid.
