10 Popular Keto Recipes

 

Studies have found that people on a ketogenic diet lost more weight than people on low-fat calorie restricted diet. So how does this work? From the 1960s onwards ketogenic diet has become widely known as one of the most common methods for obesity treatment.

 Ketogenic (keto) diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet. By reducing carbohydrates and adding more fats, your body goes into a metabolic state called ketosis.

What this means is, your body starts burning fat for energy and turns fat into ketones in the liver which can provide energy for the brain. 

The ketogenic diet can also reduce blood sugar and insulin levels, and since the ketogenic diet restricts all grains, it makes the transition easier for someone who is following a gluten-free diet.

 

 

Most common ketogenic diets

Standard ketogenic diet

The ratio is 75 % fat, 20 % protein and 5 % carbs

Targeted ketogenic diet

You can add extra carbs during workouts. This diet is popular with athletes

Cyclical ketogenic diet

On this diet, you follow 5 standard ketogenic days followed by 2 high carb days. This diet is used primarily by athletes or bodybuilders

High-protein ketogenic diet

This diet is similar to the standard ketogenic diet but with more protein. It typically contains 60 % fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs

 

 

5 important facts you should know when following a Ketogenic diet

  1. Reduce your net carb intake to less than 30 grams per day.  
  2. Increase your healthy fat intake such as fish, meat, butter, cheese, cream, avocados, seeds, nuts and healthy oils
  3. Eat plenty of low-carb veggies, such as broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, spinach, cauliflower, bell peppers
  4. Increase your salt intake by using Himalayan or Celtic salt both of which contain an array of minerals. Ketosis changes your mineral balance and body fluid
  5. Add some supplements like MCT oil and ketone salt supplements
