7 Benefits of the keto diet

You have most likely heard of the ketogenic (keto for short) diet as it has become quite popular within the last few years. Like most other diets, you probably believe it's greatest, if not only, benefit is weight loss. While it's true that most people go on a diet to lose weight, the keto diet has other benefits as well, and we will explore 7 of them in this article. Just to reiterate what we mentioned in a previous post, the keto diet is low on carbohydrates, moderate on protein, and high in fat. The basic idea is to get the body to switch from using sugar to using fat as energy. When sugar is no longer available the body has no choice but to tap its stored fat to fuel its energy needs. This happens in the state of ketosis where the liver converts fat into ketones to be used as energy. This is why the keto diet is very effective in reducing fat in your body. 7 benefits of the keto diet While all types of diets can cause weigh loss, some have little else to offer (besides the

Keto diet for weight loss

In the previous post we touched briefly on one of the main benefits of the ketogenic or keto diet which is weight loss. No doubt, this is the primary reason most people go on diets, including keto. So let's delve more into it in this post. Several studies have shown that people on a high fat, low carb diet burn fat at a faster rate than those on a high carb, low fat diet. The main reason is because the low carb diet (like keto) causes the body to enter a state of ketosis where blood sugar and insulin levels fall. The body is then forced to use fat cells as energy. As this happens, a considerable amount of water is released which in itself causes initial loss of weight. Then the fat cells are able to enter the bloodstream and make their way to the liver, where they are turned into ketones which can then be used for energy. In addition, during ketosis, your levels of hunger also decrease. This is very beneficial because you reduce your caloric intake as you eat less. As long as you m

The Keto Diet Explained

The ketogenic diet (or keto for short) has recently become very popular due to its health benefits such as weight loss as well as preventing, and even controlling certain illnesses like diabetes.
