The ketogenic diet is a very strict low-carbon diet. Compared with other low-carbon diets, its biggest feature is that it is high in fat , yes, it is high in fat. Many people abroad use this diet to lose weight and improve Health,, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease (senile dementia), etc.

This article can be used as a beginner's guide to the ketogenic diet . I hope I can write it as comprehensively as possible. I may gradually enrich it in all aspects in the future. I hope you will read the article carefully and ask me questions again. Thank you.

What is a ketogenic diet

The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet, which is different from the Atkins weight loss method. It is different from other low-carb weight loss in that it has a very high fat intake. The intake of carbohydrates is strictly controlled, with an appropriate amount of protein.

The main principle of the ketogenic diet is to replace carbohydrates with fat. After the body consumes glucose, it slowly begins to burn fat to supply energy to the body. The body slowly enters a ketogenic state, and finally, the body enters a high-speed fat burning. status.

When the body enters the ketogenic state, the ketone bodies produced can energize the body as well as the brain. Your energy will be better, your state will be better, your concentration will be more concentrated, and your brain's ability to function will be fully upgraded.

The ketogenic diet can also quickly lower blood sugar and stabilize blood sugar. The body produces ketones and has many other health benefits.

What are the ways of ketogenic diet

In fact, there are many different versions of the ketogenic diet. You can find out the right diet according to your needs.

A standard ketogenic diet , low-carb water, moderate protein, high-fat diet, fat more than 70%, 20% protein, and less than 10% carbohydrates (or even 5%).

The cyclic ketogenic diet is similar to the carbohydrate cycle. Many fitness enthusiasts abroad use this diet. For example, within a week, strictly control carbohydrate for 5 days, and take in a certain amount of carbohydrate for the other two days.

A targeted ketogenic diet is also a requirement for high-intensity strength training enthusiasts. They usually limit carbohydrates and only take in appropriate amounts of carbohydrates before and after high-intensity training.

The high-protein ketogenic diet is to increase the intake of protein in an appropriate amount, with a little less fat, for example, 60 fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbohydrate. For people who need to gain muscle, It might be more appropriate.

In short, ketogenesis is a kind of low-carb diet. Carbohydrates must be strictly restricted. As for the amount of protein, you can adjust it according to your needs. For bulky fitness enthusiasts, you can add some protein, or you can train Daily intake of appropriate amount of carbon water.

How is the weight loss effect of ketogenic diet?

I believe that most people understand that ketosis is because of weight loss. It was once considered the fastest way to lose weight. In foreign countries, low-carb diets have been popular for a long time. Now ketogenic diets are also very popular. Ins knows that there are too many ketogenic practitioners above.

The biggest feature of the ketogenic diet is that for many people who lose weight, you can eat very good, meat, fat, these can make a lot of delicious food, for patients with carbohydrate addiction, the ketogenic diet is a good way to lose weight. However, there is also the risk of carbon water storms.

On the effect of weight loss, the ketogenic diet that does not control calories is compared with the traditional "low-fat diet" that controls calories. Ketogenic can cut off the low-fat diet for several blocks, which is too much .

In fact, it is not only the weight loss effect, but also the improvement of other health levels. One of the studies found that the weight loss effect of the ketogenic diet is 2.2 times that of the traditional low-fat diet. Other health levels, good cholesterol and triglyceride levels, There are obvious improvements. 

Some people compare the traditional diet recommended by the Diabetes Association with the ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet is three times as effective as the diet recommended by the Diabetes Association. 

Because of the characteristics of the ketogenic diet, strict control of carbohydrate intake, a large amount of fat, the body begins to burn fat, with these conditions, the weight loss effect will far exceed other weight loss methods.

Also, after burning fat, the ketones produced by the body can provide energy to the body. After the body adapts to fat, patients will feel more other benefits. The ketogenic diet can also stabilize blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.
