The ketogenic diet's restriction of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can lead to deficiencies in essential micronutrients such as vitamins C, K, and folate, as well as minerals like magnesium and potassium.
In the Paleo diet, a focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and lean meats helps naturally balance micronutrient intake.
Fats are the building blocks for ketogenesis. They give our liver the raw material to produce ketone bodies, which our body uses for energy during carbohydrate scarcity.
In the Paleo diet, carbohydrate intake primarily comes from unprocessed sources like fruits and vegetables, as grains are typically avoided.
In ketogenic diet where the main focus on fat intake, approximately 70-80 per cent energy comes from fat, 5-10 per cent from carbs and 10 –20 per cent from protein
In the Paleo diet, the recommended energy distribution is 35 per cent from carbohydrates, 35 per cent from fats, and 30 per cent from protein.
