Keto can seem like one of those diets that is difficult to wrap one’s head around and even some people who are on the diet don’t fully understand the mechanics and benefits surrounding it. Although it is a fairly straightforward diet once a person is accustomed to it, it can be confusing for beginners to determine how to get the correct amount of nutrients and which foods contain the nutrients they need. This guide teaches aspiring keto dieters the ins and outs of the diet so they can put their fears behind them and embark on possibly the best decision they can make for their health.
The ketogenic diet aims to change this by removing a majority of the carbohydrates the body can break down on a regular basis. This in turn brings on what is known as a state of ketosis whereby the liver uses up excess fat (promoting weight loss) to create the energy no longer being provided by the carbohydrates.
Prior to making any major dietary changes you should always consult a healthcare professional or registered nutritionist to ensure that you aren’t accidentally doing more harm to yourself then good. When it comes to sticking to the ketogenic diet, net carbohydrates should only make up 5 percent of your diet, 25 percent should be protein and the remaining 70 percent should be made up of healthy fats. Wheat and starches of all types should be off limits and most carbohydrates should come from nuts, vegetables and dairy products.
Dark, leafy green vegetables should be a staple of most meals as should several natural fats and a good source of protein. Consider meals such as chicken with vegetables coated with olive oil, or steak with roasted cauliflower slathered in butter. If you need to snack, reach for things healthy, some great fatty options such as seeds, nuts, peanut butter or cheeses are welcomed on the ketogenic diet. Despite the fact that fats have received a bad rap in the media, without carbohydrates holding you back, you will find that fats are far more useful than you have been led to believe.
Reasons to give the ketogenic diet a try
Start feeling full more quickly and feel full longer: Fats and protein are more filling and therefore you will be satisfied with your meal longer than products which are filled with carbohydrates.
Targeted fat removal: Ketosis targets what is known as visceral fat first and foremost. This is great news for almost everyone as visceral fat is the fat that is stored around the midsection.
Cut down your chance of heart disease: The triglycerides that are found in large amount in carbohydrates are also found in high concentrations in those who have experienced cardiovascular problems.
Promote good cholesterol: Seeds and nuts are high in fats, which is great when you need a quick burst of energy, but they are also rich in HDL, a positive type of cholesterol.
