Have you been trying to lose weight for quite a while? then surely you would’ve come across the term, Keto.

Ketogenic Diet seems to be winning everyone’s heart because of its incredible results in a quick amount of time with comparatively less effort.

It not only seems to be a great way to lose weight but also helps in improving health issues like blood pressure and diabetes but the list doesn’t stop here.

It is also found in a study that Keto diet results in a increased amount of energy and focus due to high fat intake.

A diet that results in not only weight loss but increased energy and focus, so it must be something.

Let’s get into some details.

What is Keto?

Ketogenic Diet is a strict low carb diet in which you lessen the consumption of carbs and substitute it with fats.

For example an perfect Keto meal should consist of high fat, medium protein, and low carbs.

Thus when you follow the Ketogenic diet, you force your body to take energy from fats instead of carbohydrates.

Due to the deficit of carbohydrates, your glycogen stores remain empty because of which your liver produces ketones and your body gets into the state of ketosis.

So let’s find out how does your body react when you take a conventional diet which is full of carbs vs. when you substitute the carbs with fat.

What Happens When You Eat Traditional Diet ?

When you have your usual meal which is rich in carbs, your body breaks down those carbs into glucose for strength but since carbs are the most quickly digested macro nutrient among fat and protein, once your Glycogen stores get empty you start feeling hungry again.

Which makes you eat more and because of repeated storage of fat, you gain weight or in layman terms become fat.

To burn the fat, you either have to exercise or consume fewer calories in your diet.

What Happens When You Are In Ketosis ?

However, the Ketogenic diet is almost opposite of this process, when you eat a meal high in fats and low in carbs.

Your body eventually moves from carbs to fat for taking the energy, and the fat never gets stored.

Is Keto Diet good for you ?

1. Goodbye Tiredness :

Earlier we discussed how Keto diet results in an increased amount of strength and helps you get rid of tiredness.

When you consume a diet low in Carbs, your body produces less insulin to transfer it into the bloodstream and decreased insulin levels results in increased energy levels and removed tiredness.

So if you are fed up with giving up on every task because of laziness, you might want to consider the Ketogenic diet (well, not only for that).

2. Got Cholesterol and Blood pressure ?

Well if you find yourself in this section, you might want to consider talking to your doctor before trying any new diet but either way Keto diet benefits in this area too.

When it comes to cholesterol levels, It is found in a study that the Ketogenic diet produces more healthy HDL (high-density lipo-protein ) than traditional high carb diet which means Keto diet improves your cholesterol problem.

Since Keto diet results in weight loss, it improves blood pressure level as people who are over weight eventually have more blood pressure concerns.

3. Mighty Weight loss Powers :

There are a lot of reasons to adore the Ketogenic diet, but the weight loss seems to be the most dominant one because when you consume a high-fat diet, it regulates your appetite and makes you feel full until longer.

Who should NOT do a Ketogenic diet!

A Keto diet is usually pretty harmless, but under these three conditions, you definitely need to consult a doctor first!

• Diabetes
• High Blood Pressure
• Breastfeeding

What To Eat On a Keto Diet ?
