Metabolic therapies like therapeutic keto can be life-changing—not only for mental health but also for body composition. Many people experience weight loss, steadier energy, and a renewed sense of vitality once they’ve fully adapted.

But here’s where it gets tricky: protein. While protein is essential for recovery and strength, too much can kick you out of ketosis. On the flip side, too little can stall recovery, making workouts harder to bounce back from.

This balance becomes even more important if you’re incorporating weight training or cardio. Most conventional “recovery” drinks are designed with high protein and very little fat—great for standard diets, but a recipe for trouble on therapeutic keto.

Through trial and error, we’ve found a simple guideline:

• Keep protein servings in the 20–30g range.
• Pair them with plenty of fat (like the fat bombs, sips, and velvets found on our site).

This approach fuels recovery while keeping your metabolism running on fat and ketones, right where you want it.
