Ketogenic Diet



The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits.

In fact, over 20 studies show that this type of diet can help you lose weight and improve your health .

Ketogenic diets may even have benefits against diabetes, cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.


What Is a Ketogenic Diet?

The ketogenic diet is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets.
It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.
When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain .
Ketogenic diets can cause massive reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has numerous health benefits .






What to eat during Keto diet

Keto foods include:

  1. Seafood. Fish and shellfish are very keto-friendly foods.
  2. Low-Carb Vegetables.
  3. Cheese.
  4. Avocados.
  5. Meat and Poultry.
  6. Eggs.
  7. Coconut Oil.
  8. Plain Greek Yogurt and Cottage Cheese.
