Types of Ketogenic Diets

There are different variations of the ketogenic diet. Each type is suited toward a specific goal. You may wish to experiment with each one to see if it is best suited to your needs.

The main three types include:

  • Standard ketogenic diet (SKD)
  • Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD)
  • Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD)

Standard Ketogenic Diet (SKD)

This is the most common version of the diet. It is also the most widely researched. The macronutrient ratio is typically 75% fats, 25% protein and 5% carbohydrates. This type is suited to most people on the ketogenic diet or people starting keto for the first time.

Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD)

 This variation combines carb loading with the standard ketogenic diet.   In this approach you follow the normal rules for SKD for a few days (usually 3 to 5) and then follow with a few days high carb. This diet is usually suited to individuals that are more advanced in terms of high intensity exercise such as bodybuilders or athletes.

Targeted Ketogenic Diet

This variation is more suited to active individuals. Carbohydrates are consumed 30 minutes to an hour before or after exercise. It encourages glycogen renewal without interrupting ketosis for too long.
