QUICK AND DIRTY OF KETO DIET
Do you want a diet that you lose weight on while not feeling
hungry? That gives you more energy and mental clarity? That gets rid of
cravings and thinking of food, so you’re able to focus on things that matter?
A Ketogenic diet might just be the answer to your problems.
A ketogenic diet is a high fat, moderate protein, low carb
diet that puts you into a state called Ketosis. Ketosis is when your body is
burning fat instead of glucose
Let Me Explain Further
There are 3 types of Macronutrients
Fats which are considered Ketogenic
Carbohydrates which are considered Non Ketogenic
Protein which can be considered Ketogenic or Non Ketogenic
depending on how many grahams you eat
The Ketogenic Diet will b compromised 70-80 percent fat
5-15 percent Carbs
5-15 percent Protein
The Ratio fat to protein and carbs will be 3 to 1
Most people will be eating a 2 to 1 ratio which is not
considered a Ketogenic Diet
Some variables that will affect how much fat to protein and
carb ratio will be your health , age, physical activity level. The more
physical activity you do, the more carbohydrates you will be able to eat and
stay in Ketosis
The types of Ketogenic Diet are
The standard ketogenic diet
-
You eat a standard of 70-80% fat, 5-15 percent
from protein and the other 5-15 percent from carbohydrates
The Targeted Ketogenic diet which is nothing more than a regular keto diet – with
the exception of eating carbs around your workout times. That means any
day you exercise, you will be consuming carbohydrates.
Cyclical
Ketogenic Diet which is when you alternate a ketogenic diet with days of
loading up on carbs
Ketogenic
diet is used for many different reasons the most common reason being weight loss
Some
athletes use it form improving athletic performance
Others
use if for increasing Focus and mental clarity
Others
use the keto diet to treating diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinson disease
IN
order to fully know you are in Ketosis you can test for Ketones
There
are 3 ways to do this, through a breath analyzer, keto meter, or keto sticks
A
keto Meters draws blood, and is the most accurate way to test for ketones but
also the most expensive
Keto
sticks are the cheapest way but also the most inaccurate
Some
people are afraid of going into Ketosis because they have heard the diet isn’t
safe.
You
should always consult with a doctor, but most people do just fine on the diet .
If
you are diabetic Ketoacidosis may occur, but if you are not diabetic you have
nothing to worry about. Nutritional Ketosis has been used for centuries and is
perfectly safe.
Some
other drawbacks are headaches, lethargy, nausea, brain fog and stomach pain
which will go away in the first two weeks and can be fixes by drinking more
water, taking exogenous supplements, adding salt, and adding more fat to diet
When
adapted to a ketogenic diet the benefits are many. some of
the benefits include better physical performance, more energy, better focus,
and weight loss
Let’s
recap, A Ketogenic Diet is a high fat low carb moderate protein diet
Your
body is running on Ketones and not sugar which makes burning fat easier and
gives you’re a continuous energy source which helps you with mental focus, and
a constant energy throughout the day. Burning fat for fuel will also helps you with weight loss because your body
Is able to switch from burning outside sources of fat to burning inside sources
of fat much easier.
