However, it must be noted that the ketogenic diet can be difficult to maintain, and tolerability of the ketogenic diet is the single-most-important factor limiting individual acceptance and sustainability according to the findings of Keto Diet Research. Therefore, improving palatability, availability, affordability, and convenience of compliant foods is crucial to preventing diet discontinuation in cases of medical necessity.

Keto Certified products are in a unique position to improve the tolerability of the ketogenic diet as they each improve factors of palatability, convenience, and availability. This is especially true in social and cultural environments that typically feature carbohydrate-rich “special occasion” types of foods. Thus, the importance of product producers in improving the tolerability of the Ketogenic Diet can never be overstated. Keto Certification is aligned with The Paleo Foundation’s mission to help improve the tolerability of the Ketogenic Diet via improved convenience factors.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_custom_heading text=”FACTORS INFLUENCING TOLERABILITY OF THE KETO DIET” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_single_image image=”78054″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_custom_heading text=”1.
