A ketogenic diet is distinctive from all the other health-oriented diets for several reasons. A ketogenic diet is distinctive from all the other health-oriented diets for several reasons.

Firstly, it fully restricts the consumption of carbohydrates in the diet. It points out carbs as enemies of good health and active metabolism. Not only it restricts the intake but also set a standard formula to limit the number of carbohydrates taken per meal. The diet is not only restrictive in essence, but also suggestive. It promotes the use of good quality fats in food products. If it restricts carbs for one reason, it provides a rather healthy alternative.

The ketogenic diet works progressively to reveal its results and effects on human health. It does not restrict the overall consumption of food and its amount per meal, but it focuses on the prohibition of certain macronutrients like carbohydrates. It guarantees not only physical fitness but also an improved mental condition. Ketogenic diet prescribes several alternatives to high carb food. Due to excess research in this field and increased demand, the food industry has been able to produce keto friendly products. Ingredients for keto foods are easy to find, they are only 5 or less, and the recipes are easy to make.

You don't have to stress yourself any longer, all in the name of losing weight. The awesome part of all these is that keto friendly diets are tasteful to the taste buds. You don't have to sacrifice your love for sweet things on the altar of eating healthily.

When we think of any particular Low Carb dietary plan, the word ketogenic instantly pops up in our minds. That is mainly because the Ketogenic diet is highly effective in its results. Many people find the ketogenic diet highly restrictive too, but that again helps in achieving better health goals.

The diet originated as a result of experimental studies to treat patients of Parkinson or epilepsy through dietary changes. Researchers found out that having high fat and low carbohydrates in the diet can result in positive change in the mental and physical health of the patients. Those who opted this diet started to improve on their mental condition and other health symptoms were also observed in them. From there on Ketogenic diet started to take its present shape. All food items containing a high amount of carbohydrates were marked forbidden in the diet. Moreover, the focus was shifted towards fat as a source of energy.

It was discovered that maintaining a low level of carbohydrates in the daily diet, and high amount of fat can force the body to metabolize using fat only, which releases three times more energy and releases ketones during their digestion. In a ketogenic diet, every meal should not contain more than 10-15 grams of carbohydrates in them. Since carbohydrates are easy to breakdown, the human body instantly digest them to release quick energy, fats are only processed in the absence of carbohydrates, this can only be made possible by reducing the carb intake to extremely low levels as prescribed by the ketogenic diet. All fruits, vegetables, sugars, sweeteners, grains, etc., containing a high amount of carbohydrates are completely restricted on this diet, whereas fat and protein-rich meat, vegetables, dairy products, etc. are completely allowed.

The principle behind the success of the ketogenic diet is twofold; firstly, it prohibits the intake of carbohydrates then promotes the increased consumption of fats.

A high-fat food in the absence of excess carb initiates the process of ketosis in the human body. Ketosis is the breakdown of fat molecules to release energy and other products, including ketones. A fat molecule contains strong bonds in its triglycerides. Every time a single fat molecule breaks down, it releases three times greater energy than the breakdown of a single carbohydrate molecule. Carbohydrates are known for providing instant energy to the body as they are easier and quicker to digest. That is why every time we feel weak and goes through hypoglycemia; we look for something sweet and carb-rich to consume immediately.

Since not all the carbs cannot be consumed by the body at once, all the excess carbs along with the dietary fats we take in, are stored in the body, eventually causing obesity, heart diseases, diabetes-insulin resistance, and low metabolic rates. On the other hand, if fats are consumed instead as the mere source of energy, they take time to digest and releases energy gradually and progressively. Along with energy fats are capable of producing ketones, these are antioxidant agents which can fight against harmful radicals and toxins in the body. It is due to these ketones that the ketogenic diet works best for mental reverberations. The ketones clean up all the toxic waste that results from brain activity. Ketosis is the driving force that makes the ketogenic diet work.

It can be achieved by maintaining the per meal carb intake up to 13 grams and increasing the amount of fat. Ketosis has several other known benefits, which indirectly improves human health. The production of ketones increases the production of mitochondria in the cells. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells; their increased production cause a boost in energy. The production is particularly increased in the brain cells. This increased energy indirectly accelerates the rate of metabolism in the body.

Mitochondrial production can sustain the better health of the cells. The aging nerve cells can be repaired with the high production of ketones in the body. Ketones help in the reproduction of the damaged nerve cells and support in case of the nervous system malfunction. Many research studies have suggested that ketones can help to treat brain damage and injuries. Ketones are more effective fuel than ordinary sugar. Ketosis is responsible for producing a lesser number of free radicals and oxidants than the complete digestion of carbohydrates.
