Our proven plan that delivers fast, safe weight loss through ketosis.

Dr. MacLeod’s Keto

Dr. MacLeod’s VLED Keto Plan is a proven weight loss program designed for healthy nutrition and fast, safe weight loss.  Keto is a ketogenic weight loss plan which gives you 3 significant benefits:

  • Fat loss – Weight loss as a result of ketosis is fat loss as the body uses stored fat for body fuel.
  • No hunger – Ketosis has a natural appetite suppressing effect.
  • Rapid weight loss – ketogenic weight loss programs restrict both calories and carbohydrates leading to faster weight loss than calorie restriction alone.

The Keto Plan is built on 3 pillars for weight loss success MEALS, MOVE and MODE. Because successful long term weight loss is more than just reducing your food intake or increasing your exercise – it also requires you to change your habits and behaviours.

On the Keto Plan you can eat up to six times per day with a combination of Dr. MacLeod’s VLED products, Keto Meal and Keto Snacks. Enjoy meals at times that suit you.

On the KetoPlan, you have unlimited Keto Drinks per day.

Drinks suitable for the Keto Plan are low calorie and low carbohydrate options such as soda water, mineral waters, diet soft drinks and diet cordials. Any drink you choose should contain nil or negligible carbohydrates. We recommend you should aim to have 60% to 100% of your fluids as calorie free beverages.

Tea and coffee is permitted on the KetoPlan – any sweetener must be a sugar substitute (not sugar) and your total daily milk intake to whiten your tea and coffee is limited to 1 cup.

As a ketogenic weight loss program, the Keto Plan works by restricting your intake of daily dietary carbohydrates to less than 60-70grams. As a result there are some foods and drinks that you must avoid while on this program. This includes foods and drinks that are rich in carbohydrates, sugar and calories.

Eating any of these foods – even in small amounts – will cause your body to stop ketosis, therefore you must avoid alcohol, all foods containing flour and sugar, high starch vegetables such as potatoes, peas, corn, pumpkin, sweet potato, rice and noodles and all fruit.

Alcoholic beverages stop the ketosis process because the body will use the alcohol sugars in preference to body fat. One gram of alcohol in its purest form (ethyl alcohol) provides your body with 7 calories – often referred to as “empty calories” because they are calories without nutrition.

Alcoholic beverages of all types – wine, beer, mixed drinks – must be avoided on a ketogenic program because even a small amount will stop ketosis.

Although fruit is very nutritious, it is also high in calories, carbohydrates and sugars. As a result, fruit must be avoided on the Keto Plan to ensure that carbohydrate restriction is maintained under the ketosis level of 60-70 grams per day.

The Keto Plan is nutritionally complete, and therefore the nutrition of fruit is not required.
