If you’ve been looking online for Mediterranean, keto or low-carb recipes, you may have come across the Greek Goes Keto website, our YouTube channel and our social media pages. After years of dedicated content creation, we’re proud to share our keto and low-carb Mediterranean cookbooks and our personalised 1:1 nutrition plans with you.
We are a married couple with a shared passion for history, art, gastronomy and healthy living, and we also write articles on many sides of the keto and low-carb Mediterranean lifestyle. In today’s fast-paced world, where ultra-processed foods and hectic lifestyles drive widespread health problems, we believe reconnecting with ancestral wisdom matters more than ever. Through our work on the Mediterranean lifestyle, we aim to offer practical, science-based answers to modern health problems, covering both nutrition and wider lifestyle choices.
We spend the summer months in Athens, Greece, and the rest of the year in Croatia, Montenegro, Italy and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Living across these regions lets us draw on their rich cultural and culinary heritage, and gives our work a deep appreciation for the history of Mediterranean food and living.

Apollonas G. Kapsalis – Sports Nutritionist & Doctoral Researcher
“Nutrition isn’t just what we eat. It’s how we support our health, our energy and our everyday life.”
Apollonas Kapsalis is a nutritionist and doctoral researcher at the University of Derby, specialising in low-carb nutrition, intermittent fasting and sports nutrition.
For him, good nutritional guidance doesn’t mean handing everyone the same plan or simply cutting calories. It means listening to the person, understanding their real needs and building a strategy that fits their life. His interest in ketogenic and low-carb nutrition didn’t start as curiosity about another trend. It grew out of studying metabolic health and the effect that well-managed carbohydrate restriction can have on insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, weight management and overall wellbeing. He sees keto and low-carb eating as highly effective scientific tool when it’s applied correctly, individually and responsibly, but not as a one-size-fits-all answer. That’s why every collaboration starts with the person, not a ready-made diet template.
Education and academic background
- BSc in Nutrition and Health, University of Modern Sciences, Mostar (Faculty of Health Sciences). Thesis: “Remission of Type 2 Diabetes with Low-Carb Nutrition.”
- Postgraduate Diploma in Sports Nutrition (United Kingdom), specialising in Ketogenic and Low-Carb Nutrition and Intermittent Fasting.
- MSc in Sports Nutrition, Universidad Europea Real Madrid Graduate School, Spain. Thesis: “Nutritional Archaeology – Tracing the Roots of Modern Sports Dietetics to Ancient Greece.”
- MSc in Sports Nutrition, University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom. Research project: “Training Load, Recovery, and High-Intensity Performance Patterns in a Competitive Amateur Basketball Player Using Creatine Monohydrate: An Observational Case Study,” with a focus on research methodology and evidence-based practice.
- Doctorate in Professional Practice (DProf) in Sport & Exercise, University of Derby, United Kingdom. Apollonas is enrolled on the programme and is now a doctoral researcher.
His academic work connects sports nutrition, athletic performance and applied research. His goal is to turn scientific knowledge into practical, personalised strategies that genuinely support athletes’ health, recovery and performance.
His approach to personalised nutrition
Apollonas works exclusively 1:1. Before designing any plan, he reviews each client’s dietary and medical history, available lab tests, body composition, lifestyle, physical activity and how realistically a plan can be followed.
He has many years of experience in:
- Weight management
- Insulin resistance and diabetes
- Food allergies and intolerances
- Gut health
- Metabolic health
- Body composition change
- Sports nutrition and performance
- Ketogenic and low-carb nutrition
- Intermittent fasting
Above all, respect and empathy are at the heart of his work. Every person has their own story, struggles and reasons for wanting to change. His aim isn’t to impose yet another restrictive diet, but to help each client understand their body better, gradually change their eating habits and gain more independence in their food choices.
His mission: better metabolic health
His mission is to help reshape the eating habits of this generation and the next, improving metabolic health and reducing the risk factors linked to obesity and chronic disease. He follows the latest scientific evidence and moves away from temporary diets, constant deprivation and simple calorie counting. Nutrition should work with the body’s natural functions and fit real life. When a plan is evidence-based, personal and achievable, it becomes the foundation not just of a different diet, but of a better way of living.
The four core nutritional principles of Apollonas
- Nutrient density in the foods we eat
- Hydration as a fundamental pillar of overall health
- Personalisation to individual needs, preferences and goals
- Anti-inflammatory foods as part of everyday nutrition

Roberta’s cooking often explores the fusion of ancient and futuristic food ideas. She prioritises organic, clean, healthy and nourishing ingredients, and sees keto and low-carb eating as a challenging but powerful healing tool. She puts real care into “ketonising” traditional Mediterranean dishes into keto and low-carb versions. Along the way she relies on Apollonas’s expertise in nutrition science, and sees him as both an inspiration and a trusted advisor.
