A 2014 review published in the International Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health states “One of the most studied strategies in the recent years for weight loss is the ketogenic diet. Many studies have shown that this kind of nutritional approach has a solid physiological and biochemical basis and is able to induce effective weight loss along with improvement in several cardiovascular risk parameters.”
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.
Weight loss is a huge benefit of ketogenic diets due to lowered insulin levels and the body’s ability to burn stored fat. It has been found that the classic ketogenic diet is quite possibly the best diet for weight loss, especially considering how quickly it usually works.
The Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet plan, which was originally created in the 1920’s for epilepsy patients by Dr. Henry Geyelin.He concluded that not eating high-carb foods helped decrease the number of seizures with his patients.
Once in ketosis, your body burns fat instead of sugar and you’ll see accelerated weight loss as a result. The ideal ratio of fat to protein to carbs is 65% / 30% / 5% and you also want to keep your maximum net carbs at less than 20g a day. Net carbs = carbs – fibre
Many people are satisfied with the ketogenic diet because it makes people become healthy both physically and mentally. It is also a popular diet scheme among the star-studded celebrities such as Halle Berry,Kourtney Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens, LeBron James, Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, and more.
