What is the Keto Diet?
Keto Diet is a high-fat and low-carb eating plan. Most of the meals are composed of unsaturated fats like avocados, seeds, and nuts or saturated fats like butter, olive, and coconut oil. And based on 20 to 30% of the diet is Protein, lean like chicken, eggs, beef, or fatties like cheese, bacon, or salmon.
You’re supposed to avoid carbohydrates “carbs” strictly, even some are considered healthy, and you are allowed to use few types of fruits and vegetables only. The Keto Diet lets you consume less than 20 grams of carbs daily.
*How does it work?*
Usually, your body will burn the glucose (sugar) converted from carbohydrates first as they are a faster fuel, leaving the fat to be stored. After a few days of Keto Diet, your body runs out of glucose. If there is not enough glucose available in your body, you will start to consume body fat instead.
This process is called nutritional Ketosis. It creates fatty acid substances called Ketones, which your body will use for energy and lose body fat.
