Chapter 1: Welcome to the Keto Diet
With all the diets currently circling the health and wellness world, it's no wonder that people can find themselves overwhelmed picking the one that will work best to help them reach their personal health goals. One of the most popular options making waves in dieting communities across the globe is the Keto Diet. This low-carb, high-fat consumption diet was originally met with some concern as people questioned how increasing one's consumption of fat could possibly help burn the body's existing fat stores and increase weight loss progression. However, as more research appears every month supporting the effectiveness and ease of the program, it grows more and more respected and recommended by everyone from health bloggers to medical professionals.
Along with the many health benefits that Keto Diet followers are enjoying and sharing about their experience, the program has gained a widespread and vocal following that has made it one of the most talked about and practiced diets on the market. Before we get ahead of ourselves, lets take a closer look at what exactly the diet is, how it works and what it can be used for.
What Is The Keto Diet?
The original version of the Keto Diet as a program for harvesting medicinal benefits was used in the 1920s in the experimental treatment of epilepsy in children to unexpected success in lessening their symptoms and even reversing them with some cases when used on a long-term basis, typically as a lifestyle change instead of just a temporary diet program. Studies such as these are being performed in relation to a variety of different medical conditions that scientists and doctors believe may be connected to the bodys production of energy, the type of nutrients consumed in larger quantities or even just regular monitoring of the macronutrients consumed on a daily basis.
Keto (or ketogenic) refers to the body's natural survival metabolic stage of ketosis that initiates in the body when carbohydrate intake is suddenly reduced to almost nothing, and the difference is made up with increased consumption of healthy fats. At its core, the Keto Diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan designed to induce and maintain ketosis in the body.
Here is a chart showing what dieticians and nutritionists recommend adults use to balance their daily macronutrient intake in a numerical value:
There are many reasons why people may choose to start a ketogenic lifestyle, one of the most popular being for the purpose of weight loss and fat loss in tough areas like the abdomen. This happens as an effect of ketosis, a metabolic process that increases the production of ketones in the body and helps to burn fat (where most diets can only initially help with losing water weight while fat burning has to be achieved through increased exercise).
