Do you have elderly people in your family that are suffering from some type of chronic disease? The odds are not in your favor. The incidences of chronic diseases among Medicare beneficiaries has grown steadily over the years. More and more evidence is coming out that a Ketogenic or ‘Keto’ diet may be one of the best ways to fight chronic disease. However, many elderly people are on fixed incomes. They need to know how to maintain a ‘cheap keto’ diet.
The number of elderly people on Medicare with at least one chronic disease continues to grow. Although the percentage of elderly people having a chronic condition is holding steady, the number of elderly people is growing. Therefore the number of people with chronic disease is growing.
The American Action Forum found:
A recent study comparing the prevalence of 17 chronic diseases among various age groups between 2005 and 2014 found increases in nearly every disease, including in the youngest groups in the study: 35-50 years old and 51-65 years old.[14] Children have similarly suffered from increasing rates of chronic disease.

Those kinds of food ain’t cheap.
People are suffering and can’t afford them. With the inflation of today’s world, the decrease in people’s wealth during the Pandemic and beyond, and the health problems people are having, they need some cheap keto alternatives.

Her approach is to make a keto diet affordable for anyone. She even helps people on Medicaid create cheap keto meal plans and grocery lists.
Amy had some general tips first for still reaping benefits from keto but not breaking the bank:
In other words, don’t make this hard on yourself. For cheap keto meal plans consider:
If you want to fight the chronic diseases that are so rampant today, look into the ketogenic diet. There are many ways to maintain a cheap keto lifestyle and living healthy into old age. It also helps to seek out communities that can help find deals on keto foods, such as this cheap keto reddit group.
