What is the Ketogenic Diet?
The Ketogenic, or “Keto,” diet is more than just a trend; it’s a scientifically backed approach to healthy living that has been helping people for decades. This diet focuses on consuming high-fat, adequate-protein, and low-carbohydrate foods. Here’s what you need to know:
– Metabolic Shift: By significantly reducing carbohydrate intake, your body switches from using sugar as its primary fuel to burning fat. This state is known as ketosis.
– Ketones: Once in ketosis, your liver produces ketones, which become the main energy source for the body and brain, leading to weight loss and increased energy.
– Nutritional Breakdown: Typically, a Keto diet consists of about 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% carbohydrates.
Who is Keto Suitable For?
Keto can be a powerful tool for a wide range of individuals but is particularly noted for its effectiveness in weight loss, diabetes control, and enhanced cognitive function. Remember, consultation with healthcare professionals like those at Revital Health is crucial before embarking on any dietary changes.
Deep Dive into Keto – Understanding the Essentials:
When you choose to go Keto, you’re embracing a diet rich in foods like avocados, coconut and olive oils, nuts and seeds, leafy greens, and quality proteins while significantly limiting sugars, grains, and high-carb fruits. Here’s a deeper look:
1. Healthy Fats: Emphasise foods high in unsaturated fats like nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil.
2. Quality Proteins: Include moderate amounts of proteins from fish, poultry, and plant-based sources.
3. Low-Carb Vegetables: Focus on non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, and peppers.
4. Avoid High-Carb Foods: Limit or avoid grains, sugars, legumes, and high-carb fruits like bananas and grapes.
Key Takeaway Tips for Starting Keto:
1. Hydrate: Increase your water intake to help with initial fluid loss and to stay hydrated.
2. Electrolytes Matter: As your body adjusts, ensure you’re getting enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
3. Start Gradually: Begin by reducing your carb intake slowly and increasing fats, allowing your body to adjust.
4. Track Your Macros: Understanding the balance of fats, proteins, and carbs is crucial. Use apps or journals to keep track.
5. Listen to Your Body: Every individual’s response to Keto is different. Pay attention to how your body reacts and consult with healthcare professionals for a tailored approach.
