Weight loss never gets old.\u00a0 Diets do though.\u00a0 That\u2019s why every year, there is a new \u201cit\u201d diet.\u00a0 Today\u2019s \u201cIT\u201d is the Ketogenic Diet.\u00a0 And boy does it not taste like a diet.\u00a0 You get to eat as much butter, cream, cheese, FAT as you want.\u00a0 But hold to your belt…do it wrong and you\u2019ll BUST!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: It\u2019s a diet that consists of high (70%+) of healthy fats, moderate (20-25%) of protein, and very low (5% less) of carbohydrates. It\u2019s a diet that induces a natural metabolic state in the body, called Ketosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: It can be, we\u2019ve all been in a degree of ketosis. Think about if you\u2019ve ever been absolutely starving, you\u2019re tired, cranky, irritable, this is when you\u2019ve run out of all the carbohydrates in your system. Then or soon, you\u2019ll be in ketosis, where you body switches from burning carbs to burning fat for energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: The key is understanding that Ketosis is the mechanism, the diet, is a way to get there. When you deplete your body of carbohydrates, by not eating any, you force your body to use other energy sources, it only has fat or protein, and for the most part, the body will begin to break down fat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: #1, eating the wrong types of fat. We\u2019re talking about healthy fat, avocados, coconuts, butter, NOT fried, greasy, heavily processed fats. It\u2019s not a FAT FREE FOR ALL, it\u2019s clean healthy natural fats. #2. Not watching calories, you must eat within your calorie window, if you eat 5,000 calories and you only need 2,000, regardless of whether it\u2019s an avocado, you will get fat. #3. Not being exact, you MUST limit your carbohydrates to highly fiberous, unrefined, and very low \u2013 20g per day or less (not easy). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: If you\u2019re diabetic, had your gallbladder removed, or on medication (check with your doctor), or an athlete, be super careful. Immediately cutting out carbohydrates is not good for everyone. Also stay very well hydrates with electrolytes, as you burn fat, you will release lots of toxins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Not a big fan of any diets that restrict all macronutrients. But it\u2019s a good \u201cjump start\u201d to weigh loss. You will drop weight, water, fat, and some muscle early on. The success I\u2019ve seen is when individuals are precise, they only eat the certain amount of calories and it\u2019s ratioed correctly 70\/25\/5. Use it to get to your goal, stay as active as you can, then start to include the vegetables, fruits, and healthy grains back in while watching if your weight significantly increases. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
