Unlocking the Benefits of the Keto Diet: A Guide to Ketosis and Low-Carb Living.

Ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that reduces the body’s metabolism into a state known as ketosis. In this status, the body mainly burns fats for energy in place of carbohydrates.

Normally, carbohydrates constitute a major source of energy to a body, but in a ketogenic diet, consumption of carbohydrates is kept very low, that is, generally below 50 grams per day.

The body has to go to the extent of breaking down stored fats in order to form molecules called ketones, which the body utilizes to produce energy.

This diet is predicated on the view that one can eat large amounts of fatty foods like meats, butter, oils, and avocados yet has to be watchful of the carbohydrates that are often found in grains, fruits, and sugars.

All this, coupled with conscientious protein intakes, can, in parallel, bring weight loss, improved blood sugar levels, and higher energy. This requires careful planning and tracking of intakes in order to maintain the right balance of nutrients to prevent potential side effects such as nutrient deficiencies and keto flu.
