The Ultimate Keto Resource Guide

Information overload is a real thing.

The internet has only made it worse.

And when it comes to Keto? Wow. There’s so much information available, it’s almost impossible to sort the good advice from the bad.

Enter: Carb Manager’s Ultimate Keto Resource Guide! Featuring some of our favorite Keto resources from brands and medical experts we trust.

Why Keto?

Keto is powerful. 

This low-carb, high-fat, moderate-protein diet helps you to enter a metabolic state called ketosis.[*]

In ketosis, your body shifts from burning carbs to burning fat for its primary fuel source. This offers a number of potential benefits, like easier weight loss, better blood sugar control, and improved brain function.[*][*]

For these reasons, many people have adopted Keto as a long-term lifestyle to help optimize their health.

Our Favorite Keto Resources

Still, getting started with Keto can be overwhelming. There are so many websites, apps, blogs, coaches, etc., that it can be hard to know who to trust for reliable information.

That’s why we’ve rounded up some of our favorite and most trusted Keto resources to equip you with the best tools and knowledge sources available.

Here they are, divided by category.

Biohacking Tools

These tools can help you better understand your metabolism and how what you eat affects it.

Keto Mojo

Keto Mojo is a blood testing device that you can use to measure your ketone and blood sugar levels. If you’re interested in checking if you’re in ketosis, or monitoring how your ketone or blood sugar levels respond to certain foods or other lifestyle factors, then a Keto Mojo device is a great investment.

Lumen

Lumen is a metabolic health breathalyzer that measures the CO2 in your breath to tell you if you’re primarily burning carbs, fat, or a mixture of both. 

Places to Shop

Here are some of our favorite places to shop for Keto foods.

Thrive Market

Thrive Market is an online membership club that offers high-quality, specialty foods that can be difficult to find anywhere else. They have a huge catalog of Keto-friendly foods, including frozen meals, desserts, and meats. Membership costs about $60 per year, but they offer some great incentives – like discounted prices and free gifts.

Misfits Market

Misfits Market is an online grocery store that started out by selling blemished or oddly-shaped or-sized produce that couldn’t be sold in stores.

Their stock changes each week, but there are no membership fees.
