Keto Shake by Jake
We’ve got something new and exciting for you, the keto shake. This shake is based on the ketogenic diet. Without using too many difficult words, this means it’s low in carbs and high in fats. In this article we’ll dive deeper in to the Ketogenic diet, also known as Keto diet. After that, we’ll happily introduce you to our new Keto Shake.
Ketogenic Diet
A ketogenic diet mainly exists of rich fats, lean protein and a very low amount of carbs. The macronutrients are subdivided in to 55-60% fat, 30-25% protein and 5-10% carbs. Based on a 2000 kcal daily intake, that’d result in a 20 to 50 gram carb intake per day.
Carbohydrates are the most important source and fuel for energy production in body tissue. When your body receives less than 50 g carbs per day, it decreases its insulin secretion and prepares to enter a catabolic state. Glycogen reserves reach depletion, which forces your body to undergo certain metabolic changes. Two metabolic processes start to become more active in this state, when there’s a low amount of carbohydrates available in bodily tissue: gluconeogeneses and ketogeneses.
Gluconeogenesis is the endogenous production of glucose in the body, especially in the liver, mainly from lactic acid, glycerol and the amino acids alanine and glutamine. When glucose availability continues to decline, endogenous glucose production cannot meet the body’s needs and ketogenesis begins to provide an alternative energy source in the form of ketone bodies. Ketone bodies replace glucose as the primary energy source. During ketogenesis due to low blood glucose feedback, the stimulus for insulin secretion is also low, greatly reducing the stimulus for fat and glucose storage. Other hormonal changes may contribute to the increased breakdown of fats resulting in fatty acids. Fatty acids are metabolized to acetoacetate which is later converted to beta-hydroxy butyrate and acetone. These are the basic ketone bodies that accumulate in the body when a ketogenic diet is maintained. This metabolic state is called “nutritional ketosis”. As long as the body does not get carbohydrates, the metabolism remains in the ketotic state.
Ketone bodies synthesized in the body can be easily used for energy production by the heart muscle tissue and kidneys. Ketone bodies can also cross the blood-brain barrier to provide an alternative source of energy for the brain. Ketone bodies produce more adenosine triphosphate compared to glucose, which is why it is sometimes appropriately referred to as a “super fuel”. One hundred grams of acetoacetate yields 9400 grams of ATP and 100 grams of beta-hydroxybutyrate yields 10,500 ATP; while 100 grams of glucose produces only 8700 grams of ATP. This allows the body to maintain efficient fuel production even during a calorie deficit. Ketone bodies also reduce free radical damage and enhance antioxidant capacity.

So now there’s a new option, next to light, original or sports, you can now choose to go Keto. You could do this to try it once, or you integrate it in to a full keto diet. The keto shake is perfectly fit to replace your breakfast, given its energy source and vitamin/mineral source. Each shake gives you 20% of your daily amount of vitamins and minerals.
The keto shake is available in flavour for now (chocolate coconut), but when demand is high enough – we’ll definitely be expanding the flavours to a bigger extend!
