Everything About DIKETO: Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions
DIKETO is not a single diet or a single course. It is an online platform that brings together different nutrition systems, ready-made meal plans, recipes, educational materials, and additional tools for different goals.
If you are discovering DIKETO for the first time, you probably have many questions. Which course should you choose? Does it include a ready-made meal plan? What is the difference between a course and an individual meal plan? Do you need to count calories? Is support available? Can you move from one program to another?
We have collected answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand the possibilities offered by the DIKETO platform.
What is DIKETO?
DIKETO is an online nutrition platform designed for different goals.
It offers programs for weight loss, weight gain and muscle gain, learning the principles of nutrition, working on eating behavior, and gradually becoming more independent in managing your diet.
The platform includes courses, individual 30-day meal plans, a recipe database, books, educational materials, and DIKETO PRO.
The main idea behind DIKETO is simple: there is no single nutrition system that is equally suitable for every person and at every stage of life.
What programs are available on DIKETO?
The platform offers different programs:
DIKETO Academy — a balanced nutrition system for weight loss without strict restrictions.
Eat & Fit — weight loss without constantly counting calories or weighing food.
Mediterra — a modern approach to nutrition based on the principles of the Mediterranean diet.
Keto Classic — a classic ketogenic diet with a very low carbohydrate intake.
Satiated Hunger — a practical course focused on emotional eating and eating behavior that can be used as a complement to any DIKETO weight-loss program.
DIKETO Strong — a nutrition system for muscle gain for both women and men.
KILO Plus+ — a program for healthy and gradual weight gain.
Calorie & Fasting — an educational program about calorie deficit, energy balance, and intermittent fasting.
How do I know which course to choose?
Start with your current goal and eating habits.
If you want to lose weight without strict restrictions, consider DIKETO Academy.
If you find it difficult to start with calorie counting and a strict structure and would prefer a simpler approach, choose Eat & Fit.
If you prefer a Mediterranean-style diet with more natural and minimally processed foods, consider Mediterra.
If you want to try a fundamentally different, very low-carbohydrate approach, choose Keto Classic.
If you notice that you eat for reasons other than physical hunger, experience emotional eating, or want to better understand your relationship with food, consider Satiated Hunger. This course can be taken alongside any DIKETO weight-loss program.
If you want to learn how to understand calories, energy balance, and intermittent fasting independently, choose Calorie & Fasting.
For muscle gain, there is DIKETO Strong, while KILO Plus+ is designed for gradual weight gain.
Do I need to follow the programs in a specific order?
No.
Each program can be used independently.
However, the programs can also be followed consecutively. For example:
Eat & Fit → DIKETO Academy → Mediterra
A person can first learn to follow a basic meal structure without constantly counting calories, then gain a deeper understanding of balanced nutrition, and later move toward a more independent Mediterranean-style approach.
Satiated Hunger can be added to any weight-loss program if you want to work not only on your diet but also on emotional eating and eating behavior.
This is only one possible pathway. There is no mandatory sequence within DIKETO.
Can I switch from one nutrition system to another?
Yes.
We do not believe that a person must find one diet and follow it for the rest of their life.
Your goals, lifestyle, knowledge, and eating habits can change. Your nutrition system can change along with them.
The purpose of DIKETO is to provide different tools for different stages.
Do the courses include a ready-made meal plan?
Yes.
In DIKETO courses that are nutrition programs, you receive a ready-made daily meal plan for the entire duration of the selected course.
The duration depends on the specific program and package you choose.
In addition to the daily meal plan, the course includes a recipe database, educational modules, lessons, and materials that help you understand the principles behind the selected nutrition system.
Some programs and packages also include support chat access.
At the same time, some educational courses on the platform have a different format. For example, Calorie & Fastingdoes not include a mandatory ready-made meal plan, while Satiated Hunger focuses on eating behavior and emotional eating and can be used independently or as a complement to a weight-loss program.
What is included in a DIKETO course?
The content depends on the specific program and package.
Nutrition programs may include:
a ready-made daily meal plan for the entire course;
a recipe database;
educational modules;
lessons about nutrition and the principles of the selected system;
practical materials and additional tools;
support chat access in certain programs and packages.
Educational courses may have a different structure. For example, Satiated Hunger focuses on understanding physical and emotional hunger, eating habits, and emotional eating.
Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the description of the specific course and package, as the duration and additional features may vary.
What is Satiated Hunger?
Satiated Hunger is a practical course focused on emotional eating and eating behavior.
Sometimes a person knows how they should eat but continues to eat not because of physical hunger, but in response to stress, fatigue, boredom, anxiety, or other emotions.
The course helps you learn to distinguish physical hunger from emotional hunger, recognize automatic eating responses, better understand the reasons behind food cravings, and gradually develop a more mindful relationship with food.
It is not a separate diet or a ready-made meal plan.
Satiated Hunger can be used as a complement to any DIKETO weight-loss program — DIKETO Academy, Eat & Fit, Mediterra, or Keto Classic.
This allows you to work on your nutrition while also gaining a better understanding of your own eating behavior.
What is the difference between a course and an individual meal plan?
These are two different products.
A DIKETO course is a complete program for a specific period. Depending on the course you choose, you may receive a daily meal plan, recipe database, modules, lessons, educational materials, and other tools.
An individual meal plan is a separate product consisting of a personalized nutrition plan for 30 days.
Its main purpose is to provide you with a ready-made daily eating plan based on your individual parameters and selected nutrition format.
Simply put:
DIKETO course = nutrition system and/or education + additional features depending on the selected program and package.
Individual meal plan = personalized nutrition plan for 30 days.
Why is the individual meal plan designed for 30 days?
Because it is a separate format.
The meal plan included in a course is developed according to the specific DIKETO program and is provided for the entire duration of that program.
The individual meal plan is a separate personalized nutrition plan for 30 days.
If you want not only a ready-made nutrition plan but also education, access to a recipe database, and an understanding of the principles behind the selected system, choose a course.
If your main priority is a personalized 30-day nutrition plan without a complete educational course, you can choose an individual meal plan.
Is support chat available?
Yes, some programs and packages include support chat access.
For example, certain DIKETO Academy and Keto Classic packages provide the opportunity to receive support through a chat.
Chat availability depends on the specific course and package, so before purchasing, make sure to check what is included in the option you choose.
Why isn't support chat included in every package?
We understand that some people are comfortable following a program independently, while others find it important to be able to ask questions and receive additional support.
That is why packages may differ in what they include.
Do I need to count calories?
It depends on the program you choose.
In most nutrition programs, you receive a ready-made daily meal plan, so you do not need to calculate every meal yourself.
Eat & Fit specifically focuses on nutrition without constantly counting calories or weighing food.
Calorie & Fasting, on the other hand, is designed for those who want to understand energy balance, learn how to calculate their calorie needs, and manage their nutrition independently.
Do I need to weigh my food?
It depends on the program.
If the meal plan specifies a certain amount of a product, following the recommended portions helps maintain the intended structure of the diet.
Some programs, such as Eat & Fit, use a more flexible approach and do not require constant food weighing.
Do I need to cook separately from my family?
Not necessarily.
Many dishes can be prepared for the whole family, with your own portion or certain ingredients adjusted according to your meal plan.
One of DIKETO's goals is to teach people how to organize their nutrition in real life rather than build their entire life around a diet.
Can I replace foods?
In most cases, a suitable alternative can be found.
However, it is important to consider not only calories but also the role of the food in the diet: whether it is a source of protein, fat, carbohydrates, or fiber.
Do I have to completely eliminate my favorite foods?
It depends on the nutrition system you choose.
For example, DIKETO Academy is based on a balanced approach and does not automatically require you to eliminate bread, fruit, grains, pasta, or your favorite foods.
You learn how to work with portions, food combinations, and the overall structure of your diet.
Keto Classic follows different rules because ketogenic nutrition requires a significant reduction in carbohydrate intake.
What should I do if I don't follow the meal plan?
Simply continue.
One food, one meal, or one day does not determine your overall result.
There is no need to punish yourself by fasting or wait until next Monday to “start again.”
Return to your usual eating structure with your next meal.
If these situations happen frequently and you notice that food often becomes a way of coping with emotions, Satiated Hunger can be an additional tool.
How much weight can I lose?
It is impossible to guarantee a specific number of kilograms in advance.
The rate of weight loss depends on your starting weight, actual energy deficit, adherence to the program, physical activity, and individual characteristics.
The main goal of DIKETO is not to promise a specific number on the scale, but to help you build a nutrition system that can work in real life.
Why does my weight sometimes stop decreasing?
Weight does not decrease in a perfectly linear way every day.
The number on the scale can be affected by fluid retention, the amount of salt and carbohydrates in your diet, digestive contents, hormonal changes, and other factors.
That is why it is more useful to look at the overall trend over a longer period rather than judge your progress based on a single weigh-in.
Is exercise mandatory for weight loss?
No. Intense exercise is not a mandatory requirement for weight loss.
However, regular physical activity is beneficial for health, helps maintain muscle mass and physical fitness, and increases energy expenditure.
Can I follow DIKETO if I have a medical condition?
DIKETO Academy is based on the principles of balanced nutrition and is a more universal format than programs with significant restrictions, such as classic keto.
However, certain medical conditions may require individual dietary adjustments.
Food allergies, celiac disease, kidney or gastrointestinal conditions, diabetes, and other health conditions may require changes to the standard diet.
If you have a condition that requires a specific therapeutic diet or if you regularly take medication, significant dietary changes should be discussed with your doctor.
How is Keto Classic different from regular nutrition?
A ketogenic diet involves a very low carbohydrate intake and a significantly higher proportion of fat.
When carbohydrate intake is substantially restricted, the body increases the production and use of ketone bodies, resulting in a state of nutritional ketosis.
Therefore, Keto Classic is not simply another version of a balanced meal plan. It is a separate nutrition system with its own rules, characteristics, and restrictions.
Does Keto Classic have contraindications?
Yes. Ketogenic nutrition is not suitable for everyone.
A classic ketogenic diet is contraindicated in certain rare inherited disorders involving metabolism and fatty-acid oxidation, carnitine metabolism disorders, and porphyrias.
Special caution and prior medical consultation are necessary for people with liver or pancreatic conditions, certain kidney conditions, gallbladder disease, eating disorders, and other chronic conditions.
A strict ketogenic diet should not be started independently during pregnancy. An individualized medical approach is also necessary during breastfeeding.
Diabetes and the use of glucose-lowering medications require particular attention. Some medications, especially SGLT2 inhibitors, combined with severe carbohydrate restriction may increase the risk of ketoacidosis.
If you have chronic health conditions or regularly take medication, consult your doctor before starting Keto Classic.
Are ketosis and ketoacidosis the same thing?
No.
Nutritional ketosis is a physiological state that can occur when carbohydrate intake is significantly restricted.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a dangerous pathological condition involving excessive ketone accumulation and metabolic acidosis, most commonly associated with a severe lack of insulin.
These are different conditions.
However, people with diabetes and those taking certain glucose-lowering medications should not experiment with ketogenic nutrition without medical supervision.
How long can I follow Keto Classic?
We consider Keto Classic a separate nutrition format rather than a mandatory lifelong eating system.
The duration depends on your goal, health status, tolerance, and individual circumstances.
Later, you can move to another DIKETO format and use the knowledge you have gained within a more flexible diet.
What is DIKETO PRO?
DIKETO PRO is an additional educational level within the platform, not a separate diet.
It may include new articles, videos, materials from the DIKETO author and invited specialists, information about nutrition and eating behavior, reminders, and other additional tools.
DIKETO PRO can be used as an additional source of knowledge and educational materials.
Do I have to buy the recipe book?
No.
If you already know how to organize your nutrition independently and mainly need new ideas, dishes, and variety, you can choose the DIKETO recipe book.
What should I choose: a course, an individual meal plan, Satiated Hunger, or a recipe book?
If you need a ready-made nutrition plan + recipes + education + a structured system, choose the appropriate DIKETO course.
If you primarily need a personalized 30-day nutrition plan, choose an individual meal plan.
If you want to understand emotional eating, learn to better distinguish physical hunger from emotional hunger, and work on your eating habits, choose Satiated Hunger. It can be used independently or as a complement to any DIKETO weight-loss program.
If you already know how to organize your nutrition independently and mainly need recipes and new ideas, you can choose the recipe book.
What should I do if I still don't know which option to choose?
Contact our team on WhatsApp.
Tell us about your goal: weight loss, weight gain, muscle gain, working on eating behavior, or gaining new knowledge about nutrition. Also let us know how independently you would like to manage your diet and whether support chat access is important to you.
We will explain the differences between the programs and packages and help you choose the most suitable format.
DIKETO is not one diet for everyone. It is a collection of different systems and tools for different goals, stages, and lifestyles.
