Dr. Hugh’s Ketogenic Meal Plan

Infographic illustrating the standard ketogenic diet macronutrient ratio: 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbohydrates for achieving ketosis.

Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is the primary and most efficient ketone body, synthesized in the liver and used by the brain, muscles, and organs for clean energy. Accounting for roughly 70% of the body’s ketone-based fuel, it is the key marker measured in blood to confirm nutritional ketosis.
