The 37-year-old shares her day on a plate.<\/p>\n 6.30am Three eggs cooked in a small amount of butter and a latte. I follow a largely keto diet in which my daily food intake is consistent, repetitive and intentional, designed to support both physical training and a demanding creative workload.<\/p>\n 2pm Lunch at my desk is two beef patties with a slice of brie and lettuce.<\/p>\n 8pm Dinner consists of approximately 250 grams of steak and a portion of greens. My daily intake is structured to reach around 120 grams of protein a day, with just 30 to 40 grams of carbs. After dinner, I eat four scoops of Greek yoghurt, a handful of berries and 20 grams of protein powder.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Dr Joanna McMillan says<\/p>\n Top marks for\u2026 Your consistent routine and strong protein intake, which will support muscle metabolism and keep you feeling full across a busy, high-demand day. Your greens and berries also add a welcome dose of antioxidants.<\/p>\n If you keep eating like this you\u2019ll\u2026 Fall short on fibre, critical for cholesterol control, gut health and long-term metabolic health. You may also be missing key nutrients like magnesium, folate and vitamin C due to the limited variety of plant foods. There\u2019s no strong evidence a keto diet specifically prevents brain fog, whereas fuelling a diverse and healthy microbiome has clear links to brain health.<\/p>\n Why don\u2019t you try\u2026 Keeping your carbs low, if that suits you, but boosting fibre and micronutrients by eating more non-starchy vegetables, nuts and seeds, plus berries and other lower-carb fruits. It\u2019s entirely possible to stay relatively low-carb while still properly feeding your gut microbiome.<\/p>\n Michelle Aznavorian is the founder and creative director of Misha<\/a>.<\/p>\n Get the best of Sunday Life magazine delivered to your inbox every Sunday morning.
