Why is the keto diet good for you?
A keto diet is an eating plan that focuses on
foods that provide a lot of healthful fats,
adequate amounts of protein, and very few
carbohydrates. The goal is to get more calories
from fat than from carbs. The diet works by
depleting the body of its sugar reserves. As a
result, it will start to break down fat for
energy. This results in the production of
molecules called ketones that the body uses for
fuel. When the body burns fats, it can also lead
to weight loss. There are numerous health
benefits of the Keto Diet, and one step at a
time Keto dieting is gradually taking the place
of traditional dieting in the lives of many
people as more and more people as the diet grows
in popularity. To begin with, there are plenty of
great keto recipes out there that many people
just cant resist. As a result, a new disciple
of this new way of eating will neither get bored
from repeatedly eating the same kind of meals
nor lack culinary inspiration to try something
new. But before proceeding, wed like to assume
you do not know much about all of this. So it
makes perfect sense to bring you up to speed in
just a few paragraphs. Health Benefits of the
Keto Diet So What Is A Ketogenic Diet? Any highly
nutritional meal course that is aimed at
providing the body with an alternative source of
energy through fats instead of the usual
carbohydrates can be said to be a ketogenic meal.

default, glucose is the energy currency of the
body but not until the body starts converting its
fat stores into ketone bodies. Keto diet is
therefore, a high fat, moderate protein and very
low carbohydrate diet. The idea is that eating
fewer carbs with plenty fats puts your body into
a metabolic state known as ketosis. Here, in this
state the body has less store of glycogen that
usual hence the need for an alternative source
of energy which ketone bodies happen to take care
of. It does so by converting your fat stores to
ketones which in turn drastically depletes your
fat reserves and keeps you in the best shape.
Thankfully, this metabolic switch presents even
more health benefits of the Keto Diet that we
can have some fun with and explore further.
