Introduction
What is the Ketogenic Diet?
A Keto diet is a diet that is very low in carbs (5%), moderate in protein (25-35%) and high in healthy fats (60-70%).
How does the Ketogenic Diet work?
When following the Ketogenic diet, your body goes into a state of ketosis. This means that your body stops using glucose from carbs as its primary energy source and takes fats as the alternative. Your body transforms fats into ketones, which become the primary energy source.
What are the advantages of the Ketogenic Diet?
First of all, glucose and blood sugar stored in the body are depleted. Therefore, a low-carb Keto diet is the valid way to improve health for people with diabetes and prediabetes.
Secondly, reducing excess body fat leads to weight loss.
Thirdly, on Keto, you will feel an increase in your energy level. Concentration and memory will also improve.
