Introduction

I ts possible that you have been informed for years or even decades to consume a great amount of whole-grain carbohydrates and stay away from saturated fat at all costs fat is, however, not bad for you. Fat, maybe saturated fat especially even helps your body run like a well-oiled machine would. The ketogenic diets basis is the human bodys need for fat, which encourages that as an individual you should obtain a large portion of your caloriesabout 75 percentfrom fat and just 5 to 10 percent from carbohydrates. The rest of the calories are obtained from proteins of high-quality.

The ketogenic diet is neither a novel trend nor is it a fad diet. Actually, its been available for decades. In the 1920s, it was utilized as the main method of treatment for hard-to-control epilepsy in young kidsand it was remarkably efficient. It eventually fell out of fashion with the increasing presence of anti-seizure drugs. Even if that fix implied the potential for more side effects, individuals preferred a quick solution. Individuals following nutritional ketogenic diets today report weight reduction, increased energy levels, better mood, enhanced concentration, and mental clarity.

Nevertheless, mainstream press and even a few healthcare experts tend to present the ketogenic diet in a negative light. Just like fat, ketones, which are compounds made when the body starts to utilize fat in place of carbohydrates for energy, do not have a good reputation. Majority of the worries surrounding ketones and the ketogenic diet are unwarranted or are a consequence of confusion between the two terms ketosis and ketoacidosis.

This confusion and assumptions about the ketogenic dietlike the idea that all types of fat are bad for youmight be presenting barriers that are not necessary to their use as therapeutic tools in the hand of the physician as stated by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition

At this point let us put the rumors to rest and understand why fat is not only good but is basic to the maintenance of optimal health. Actually, sugar, carbohydrates, and processed vegetable oils are responsible for weight gain and the increasing incidence of chronic health conditions to a great extent. Carbohydrates limitation and replacement with both saturated and unsaturated fatsthe ketogenic diets basisis not only capable of helping you lose weight, but it can also help you remain healthy for years to come.

Chapter 1. Ketosis Explained

'K eto,' from the word ketosis, is made from Ketones, the term for the body's energy molecules. This is a second source of energy for the body that is utilized when glucose (blood sugar) is insufficient to meet the body's needs. Ketones are generated when the number of carbohydrates (the major source of glucose) consumed is very little, in combination to a limited amount of protein (additional protein is converted into glucose.) Under these conditions, the liver converts fat to ketones which are then transported into the bloodstream. The body cells use this as a source of energy, like glucose. They can also be utilized by the brain. This is essential, as the brain cannot get its energy directly from fat, and it is a rapid energy-consuming organ.

Making Fat Burning as Beneficial as Possible

T here are two ways of achieving Ketosis; the first way is to consume a ketogenic diet. The other is to begin a period of fasting.

Under these conditions, immediately the body's restricted stores of glucose are being depleted, the whole body changes its source of energy supply to fat almost completely. The quantity of insulin (the fat accumulating hormone) becomes reduced, and fat is rapidly used up. Thus, your fat reserves are easily accessible and can easily be consumed. This is excellent for shedding off excess weight. Research has proven that the ketogenic diet produced greater weight loss, faster. There are many other additional benefits. The condition where the body generates sufficient ketones to add up to high levels in the blood (greater than 0.5mM) is referred to as ketosis. The most rapid way to achieve ketosis is through fasting- not consuming any food at all- but that is impossible to do forever.

However, a rigorous 'keto' or low-carb diet can be consumed for unlimited periods of time. It also produces ketosis. The results produced are as beneficial as those produced by fasting (like weight loss) without necessarily fasting.
