How does the ketogenic diet work?

| Ketogenic diet |
The ketogenic diet for weight loss is characterized by the consumption of:
50 g maximum carbohydrates per day. This represents approximately 5% of the total calories consumed during the day. A normal diet usually provides between 45 and 65% of our calories in the form of carbohydrates.
75% fat
20% protein
This diet therefore completely overturns our traditional food pyramid and its main principles.
How does the ketogenic diet cause weight loss?
Usually, the body gets its energy from the carbohydrates consumed during the day and which are necessary for the proper functioning of the body. In the ketogenic diet, carbohydrates being extremely limited, the body begins to draw on its reserves of carbohydrates stored in the muscles and liver called “glycogen” reserves. As each gram of glycogen is linked to 3–4 g of water in the body, the significant weight loss at the start of the ketogenic diet is largely a loss of water. When the glycogen stores are depleted, the body naturally begins to use lipids or fats to produce energy. However, when the body uses lipids in the absence of carbohydrates, it produces waste products called ketones. Then, ketones begin to build up in the blood and their smell, similar to that of nail polish, becomes noticeable in the breath. It is the main indicator that the body is in a state of “ketosis”. It usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks to reach this state. You can check for ketosis by purchasing urine test strips from pharmacies.
This state of “ketosis” causes a marked decrease in appetite which contributes to reducing the amount of food consumed. This condition can also lead to nausea and fatigue. Although this diet does not focus on calorie counting, those who follow it actually absorb fewer calories because they are not hungry and this results in weight loss
In sum, this is a diet program that shows you how and what to eat in easy to understand language with foods you will enjoy eating. I recommend it to anybody who’s interested in the keto lifestyle.
