Why a ketogenic diet is effective
1. Body ketone transformation: Ketogenic diet limits carbohydrate intake, lowering blood sugar levels in the body. Accordingly, fat is used as an energy source in the body, and the liver decomposes fat to produce a substance called ketone. Ketones act as an energy source that can also be used in the brain, which changes the body's energy metabolism.
2. Fullness and suppression of appetite: High-fat meals generally provide more fullness, and the inclusion of protein and fat in the diet slows digestion, and blood sugar levels remain constant, allowing you to stay full for a long time. This helps to suppress appetite and reduce diet.
3. Insulin Level Control: A diet with low carbohydrate intake helps stabilize blood sugar levels. This can help regulate insulin secretion and reduce insulin resistance.
Increased metabolic rate: Ketone diets can speed up metabolism. This helps you lose weight, and according to some studies, it can help improve insulin sensitivity.
1. High-fat, high-protein foods: fatty meat such as beef, pork, chicken, duck, and lamb, and fish such as salmon, dried fish, and shrimp are recommended.
2. Fresh vegetables: Green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, romaine) and vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, onions, and paprika are good choices.
3. High-fat dairy products: High-fat dairy products such as cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and butter are available.
4. Eggs: Eggs are an important food in ketogenic diets. It contains protein and fat, and can be used in various dishes.
5. Dried fish and nuts: nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, pistachios, and dried fish (e.g., dried shrimp, squid) may also be included.
6. Healthy fats and oils: Healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and so on are options for ketogenic diets.
If you also want to lose weight and have an attractive look, a ketogenic diet can be a good choice. However, you should actively avoid carbohydrates, sugars, and processed foods, and eating too much high fat can be rather bad for your diet.
Before starting a ketogenic diet, it is recommended that you consult your doctor or nutritionist to adjust your diet to suit your nutritional status and personal needs.
