This week Leah and Holly take a deeper look into the question \u201cCan I eat Carrots and Beetroot on Keto \u2013 are they too high in carbs\/sugar?\u201d This, and similar questions along the lines of what can I\/can\u2019t I eat, are common when starting any new diet or exploring new eating habits. However, instead of worrying about the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts, perhaps a better question is not about the WHAT, but the WHY\u2026 In this episode, Leah and Holly get started by looking at this question from a clinical perspective and chat a about nutrients \u2013 Nutrients are essential for our energy \u2013 life and growth, found in the foods we digest  and we often think about our Macronutrients \u2013 Protein, Carbs and Fats.  What we tend to not pay as much attention to is our micronutrients which are our vitamins and minerals. We (humans) can\u2019t make vitamins and minerals and must obtain them through our food.
