How are KETOMEI meals packed and delivered?

Our meals are blast chilled, packed in air-tight sealed food containers, packaged in a styrofoam box with ice packs and delivered to you. To maintain the highest quality of the freshness of the food, we complete our unique packaging with nitrogen gas. Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless gas at normal temperature, and it can be used to replace air and reduce or eliminate oxidation of things.  We inject nitrogen before our food containers are sealed, thus preventing oxidation and preventing the inhabitation of the growth of bacteria and fungus.

 

The meals are packed for 6 meals for 3 days (3 lunch and 3 dinner) for each delivery.  When the meals are delivered, it can be stored in the chiller or the refrigerator.

How do I heat up my meals?

Please do visit our Meal Care page for information on how to heat our meals.

Specific heating instruction will be provided on the meal labels.

What is the ketogenic diet?

The standard ketogenic diet is a very low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat diet.  Each meal basically contains 60-80% fat, 20-35% protein and only 5-15% carbs and less than 20 grams of net carbs per meal.

What is ketosis?

Ketosis is a natural metabolic state. It involves the body producing ketone bodies out of fat, and using them for energy instead of carbs.  When there is a drastic reduction of carbohydrate intake and replacement with fat, your body is efficiently burning fat for energy.  It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain.

What are ketones?

When you are on a low-carb, high-fat diet, many of these fatty acids are transferred to the liver, where they are oxidised and turned into ketones (or ketone bodies).  These molecules can provide energy for the body.  Unlike fatty acids, ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier and provide energy for the brain in the absence of sugar.  When you are in a state of ketosis, the ketones become the main sources of energy for the body and brain and this happens when carb intake and insulin levels are very low.

Does the ketogenic diet work for everyone?

The Ketogenic diet is open to anyone who is seeking to lose weight.

People who are:

  1. Overweight, diabetic or trying to improve their metabolic health should consult their doctor to determine if the diet is safe and suitable for their specific needs.
  2. People with health conditions, like kidney, liver or pancreatic diseases. They should consult their doctor for advice.

Are there any side effects for the ketogenic diet?

There may be some initial reactions while your body is adapting to the new diet of very little carbohydrates. This is known as the “keto flu” and it is usually over within a few days or a week.

In a ketogenic diet, carbohydrates are typically reduced to under 50 grams a day. This drastic reduction may cause withdrawal-like symptoms, similar to those experiences when withdrawing from an addictive substance like caffeine.

What are the symptoms of the keto flu?

The symptoms includes headache, fatigue, constipation, bad breath, increased hunger, difficulty sleeping, stomach pain, nausea, sugar cravings, digestive discomfort and poor concentration. The symptoms should go away in a few days or one week.

Can I eat carbs again if I am on a ketogenic diet?

Yes you may, but it is most important to reduce your carb intake significantly at the initial stage. After 2-3 months, you can eat carbs again on special occasions, and quickly return to the diet after that.

How much protein can I eat?

Protein should be moderate as a very high intake can spike insulin levels and lower ketones.  The recommended intake if around 35% of the total calorie intake.

I have diarrhea and digestion problems. What can I do?

This is a common reaction which usually passes after 3-4 weeks.  If it persists, try eating more high-fiber vegetables. Supplements like magnesium can also help with constipation issues.
