The keto diet is also known as the ketogenic diet. This is different from the usual fad diets these days because it does not involve extreme starvation, bland meals and programs which can deplete your energy. Interestingly, this type of diet will allow you to enjoy meals with high amount of healthy fat but with low calorie content. Can this eating program really help you lose weight?

Ketosis State

The keto diet will trigger your body to be in a ketosis state. This means that the liver works overtime in converting the fat into fatty acids and ketones. In effect, fat will be used up as the primary source of energy.

Since the diet involves low amount of calories from meals, your body would need to use up alternative source of energy which will sustain your day to day activities. Hence, you will naturally be able to release ketones from fat which results to weight reduction.

Positive Effects

The keto diet is efficient when it comes to removing those extra pounds and unwanted flab in your body. The plus side with this diet is that it does not only burn fats. It also helps in packing the body with leaner and stronger muscles. Because of this, even body builders opt for this type of diet because while trimming excess fat, they are able to develop stronger muscles.

Precaution

Since this diet involves high amount of fat and drastic calorie intake reduction, it is best to consult a physician first before undergoing the program. That way you can ensure that your body is able to handle the changes in your eating pattern.

Foods to avoid

Since your main goal is to lower the amount of calories that you take in everyday, this means that you need to stay away from particular types of food if you want to see the positive results of this method. Your meals should not include bread, cereals, pasta, rice or potatoes.

It is also important to keep in mind that your body will also break down sugar as carbohydrate. Hence, stay away from soda, candy and desserts. Do not be quick to assume that all fruits and vegetables are okay to eat because most of these contain natural sugar too. For example, ripe bananas have high amount of sugar. Carrot will also ruin your diet because of the carbohydrates that it has.

Foods to eat

Eating lean meat is also encouraged when going through the keto diet. Beef and fish are ideal especially when it is fresh and hormone-free. When buying meat, make sure that the cut has excellent quality so that your diet would give you the results that you are expecting. Eating more fish is ideal since this does not only give you the amount of protein that your body needs, it also supplies the body with Omega 3 fatty acids which is good for your heart.

When altering your usual diet, it is typical to experience constipation. Hence, it is important to drink more than 8 glasses of water daily. This will aid in digestion and also helps your body to adjust faster to your new eating habit. If you want to lose weight faster, it is recommended to do keto diet while exercising on a daily basis.
