KetoCalc app for iPhone and iPad

KETOCALC

This app is designed for use by people familiar with the ketogenic diet (please go to flexibleketogenic.com to learn more). It complements other nutrition or fitness apps - it is not a general nutrition app but only includes a calculator which determines the level of ketosis similar to keto sticks or blood tests. But urine ketosticks are known to yield notoriously inaccurate results. Tools like ketosticks, blood tests or breath ketone analyzers only allow you to see if your food was ketogenic AFTER your meals, while KetoCalc lets you accurately PRE-PLAN ketogenic meals per meal or on a daily basis.

Playing with KetoCalc a few times is the best way to learn what a real ketogenic meal looks like - at a one time cost less than that of a box of ketostix.

Other ketogenic ratio calculators use an inaccurate formula which adds protein and carbs together in a ratio against fat, but carbs and protein do not contribute equally to the degree of anti-ketosis. This popular and simplified formula can result in underestimating the amount of protein needed to maintain muscle mass for a given ketogenic ratio. But KetoCalc is based on a well researched formula developed by Dr. Rollin T. Woodyatt. We have confirmed the accuracy of his formula with spreadsheets, and blogs contain ketogenic diet success stories mentioning the KETOCALC app (https://www.headsuphealth.com/blog/stories-of-transformation/correlating-ketogenic-ratio/), affirming how well blood and breath ketone levels correlate with the ketogenic ratio that the app yields.

Instructions on using KetoCalc are found in the app’s menu. These simple instructions eliminate the room for failure through a 4 step process which does not only ensure ketosis but also ensures that one avoids the three pitfalls of weight loss on a ketogenic diet (in the case weight loss is desired and not only ketosis for its therapeutic benefits).

Other Reasons Why KetoCalc is Essential for Success With a Ketogenic Diet:

1 - Remain In Ketosis Even If You Slip
Few people know that even if one eats too many carbohydrates at a meal, it is still possible to maintain ketosis by eating a larger amount of fat. This may add up to too many calories to let one lose weight for that day (too many calories from even low carb sources can prevent weight loss), however, one may retain the health benefits of not going out of ketosis. By remaining in ketosis, one can also start losing weight again sooner as one maintains the body’s fat burning adaptation. Otherwise, even going out of ketosis occasionally, according to researcher Dr. Stephen Phinney, requires another three week adaptation period. In addition to helping one remain in ketosis, our calculator also gives the total number of calories from one’s meals so one can adjust the amount of macronutrients to both maintain ketosis and a desired calorie level optimal for weight loss (if weight loss is desired).

2 - Avoid the 3 Pitfalls of Weight Loss on a Low Carb Diet
Many people who use low carb diets to lose weight have found that after a period on what they thought was a ketogenic diet, they stalled or even re-gained weight. As you use KetoCalc, following our simple 4 step process explained in the instructions ensures that you avoid the following three pitfalls which can prevent weight loss:

- Too much protein even from low carb sources
- Too many calories even from low carb sources
- Too little fat which prevents ketosis
