What is the Keto diet?
Our bodies need energy to function. As a result, our bodies break down the carbs we eat to create glucose, providing the necessary energy to get through the day or exercise.
However, to prevent weight gain or lose weight, we can lower our carb intake. By doing this, we force the body to break down fatty acids and stored carbs to use as energy instead. Although the body can take up to three weeks to reach this stage of burning stored fats, known as Ketosis, it is a great way to eliminate unwanted body fat, particularly that stubborn stuff that sits around the belly.
A Keto Diet consists of low-carb meals with a higher protein and fat content. Typically, these meals come in a ratio of five percent non-starchy carbs, 75% healthy fats, and 20% protein. Further, this unique diet is designed to kickstart Ketosis and assist your body in burning unwanted fat.
Key points of the Keto Diet
Sticking to a ketogenic diet is the simplest and fastest way to get your body to reach a point of ketosis and affect weight loss. By filling up on healthy fats and proteins and limiting your net carb intake to between five and ten percent, you can achieve your health goals easily.
Doing this is simple when using a keto meal delivery service like ours. We provide a range of delicious low carb keto meals that will set you on the path to keto greatness.
When your body enters ketosis, you’ll know as most people experience several symptoms, including a decreased appetite, frequent urination, and increased thirst. Typically it takes around three weeks to reach this stage.
Many health professionals recommend this diet as it is packed with nutrients, is low in carbs, and doesn’t use negatively adverse methods like starvation, making it an all-around healthier option.
Benefits of the Keto Diet
Since the Keto diet focuses on getting your calories from healthy fats instead of carbs, it comes with numerous benefits.
Firstly, it boosts the metabolism and reduces hunger and cravings for sugary foods, making it easier to achieve weight loss.
While refined carbs are tasty, they cause a host of issues, including acne. By eliminating the intake of these carbs and following a Keto diet, you balance out your gut bacteria, promoting skin health.
Following a Keto diet is also said to promote heart health. By cutting out unhealthy fats like pork rinds and replacing them with healthy ones like avocados, you reduce your cholesterol and do a world of good for your heart.
Finally, if you have epilepsy, the Keto diet is beneficial for reducing seizures. Interestingly, scientists originally formulated this diet to assist those with seizures who do not respond to medication, as Ketosis is said to aid in managing the symptoms of epilepsy.
