You've
probably heard about the keto diet or low carb diet. It's the newest hype. All the papers are
writing about it and the interest online is just exploding.
So what is the keto diet?
What does keto
diet even mean and how is it done?
In this article you will learn all you need to know.
First
of all let's get this out of the way. What does the word “keto" mean?
Basically the body can run on two different fuels.
1.
One is sugar from carbohydrates in the food we eat and that's what most people
today primarily use. Let's say if they're eating bread, pasta, rice, potatoes
etc.
2.
The other fuel is fat.
The
keto diet is a very low-carb diet. So low in carbs that the body has to switch
to mainly using fat for fuel.
For example from real foods like eggs, meat,
avocados, butter, olive oil, nuts, etc.
Even the brain can become fueled by fat. When
the body is out of sugar, fat is converted in the liver into energy molecules
called ketones that fuel the brain.
And the diet that results in this is called ketogenic, meaning it produces ketones. And
that's why the diet is called the keto diet. Being fueled mostly by fat, a
state called "ketosis", has many benefits including that you become a
fat-burning machine. It's perfect for weight loss without hunger burning fat
24/7 even when you're sleeping.
Because
it gives you tons of energy, you'll basically never run out. Why the keto diet
has become super popular in the last few years is actually not entirely new.
The
foundation of keto is something old that you've heard about a million times.
It's a strict low-carb diet, it's a
gluten-free diet, it's similar to the paleo
diet and it's very close to the old and well-known Atkins diet. The basic
idea is super simple and based on real foods. You simply avoid most
carbohydrates like sugar, processed junk food, bread, pasta, rice etc. And
instead you eat meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and natural fats like butter.
What is different with keto?
Is that it's a supercharged low-carb diet
where you can make sure you get the maximum benefits. We'll get to the details
later. So keto is a supercharged version of an old idea.
Similar diets have been tried for decades,
even centuries. These similar diets keep returning more popular than ever
because they work. And this could have an evolutionary explanation as our
ancestors did not eat refined carbohydrates or sugar like we do today,
so
our bodies may not be adapted to those foods. Modern science proves that it
works. On a keto diet most people can lose excess weight without hunger and a
number of health issues tend to improve.
Most
importantly a keto diet is not just used as a temporary fix. Many people enjoy
it as a long term lifestyle. Not just for weight loss, but for long-term health
and well-being and staying fit year-round. Many people feel energized, full of
mental clarity and have stable blood sugar levels.
Most of the hunger disappears, cravings for
sweets foods are reduced, so there's no need to snack all the time anymore. People
save time by being happy with fewer meals.
They eat delicious food whenever they're
hungry and there's not even any need to count calories.
Most people feel so satiated on keto that they
can eat when they're hungry and still eat less and lose excess weight. They
don't even have to exercise. Now of course some exercise is good for you for
health and feeling your best, but it's not required for weight loss and
certainly not on keto.
