HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Understanding the Keto Diet: The ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat eating style that shifts your metabolism to burn fat as fuel, aiding in weight loss and energy maintenance.
  • Carbs vs. Fats as Fuel: When carbohydrates are limited, the body switches to burning fat, producing ketones for energy, which mimics the effects of fasting without actually fasting.
  • Potential Benefits and Risks: The keto diet may aid in weight loss and help manage certain metabolic disorders but can lead to side effects like constipation, nutrient deficiencies, and the "keto flu" during adaptation.
  • Ketosis Guidelines: The classic ketogenic diet requires 90% of calorie intake from fats, but modifications like the Medium-Chain Triglyceride Diet and Modified Atkins Diet can also sustain ketosis with varied fat-to-carb ratios.
  • Keto-Friendly Foods: Stick to leafy greens, berries, avocados, full-fat dairy, meats, and healthy oils while avoiding bread, pasta, starchy vegetables, and most fruits.
