What is the Ketogenic Diet? The ketogenic diet has been one of the most popular \u2018fast weight loss\u2019 diets for the last few years.  Lots of celebrities swear by it, and there\u2019s a wide range of healthy, whole-foods to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The ‘ketogenic’ eating plan is similar to other strict, Low-Carb-High-Fat diets, but has fewer protein options. If you’re not familiar with the typical meals in this plan, feast your eyes on these tempting images from low-carb, keto recipes you can find easily online!<\/p>\n

Goal setting<\/h2>\n

You can lose weight fast on this diet, but no-one can give you an estimate of how much, as there are too many variable factors!  First of all, you need to stop eating all sugary, fatty processed<\/em> foods and drinks.  You’ll be switching to home-cooked foods, like this Keto Mousse with Mascarpone, so it’s well-worth the effort!<\/p>\n

A ketogenic diet is a strict high-fat, low-carb diet, that keeps your protein intake small \u2013 medium. To help you get some idea of serving proportions, try to produce meals with 70% energy from fat, 15 \u2013 25% from protein and 10% from carbs.<\/p>\n

How does ketogenic dieting work?<\/h2>\n

If you eat a diet containing lots of carbohydrates, (e.g. bread, grains, potatoes, pastries, cakes, candy and alcohol), the body always converts them into ‘glucose fuel’.  And if you don\u2019t use up all the glucose fuel, it goes straight into storage as sugar-glucose fat-cells.  Then the next day, when you eat too many carbs, which you don’t use up in exercise, the extra sugar goes into glucose-storage again!<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you choose a ketogenic diet method, you stop eating carbs and your body doesn’t<\/em> get the raw-material it needs to make glucose-fuel. The body ‘thinks’ food is scarce and automatically switches to producing \u2018ketones\u2019 instead. Instead of running on sugar-glucose, your body switches to ketone-fuel<\/em> it gets from the fat-stores in the liver.<\/p>\n

Ketones are small fuel cells<\/h2>\n

Ketones are just small \u2018fuel molecules\u2019 that act as an alternative body-fuel to our usual glucose energy-source.   They are produced when insufficient glucose\/blood-sugar is available to run our muscles and brain.<\/p>\n

The ketogenic diet plan help you lose weight fast, by forcing the liver to make \u2018ketones\u2019 from stored fat.  The whole body switches to using fuel made from stored fat-cells.  And you won\u2019t be tormented by the usual feelings of hunger that remind us to eat carbs for glucose-based fuel!<\/p>\n

With fewer carbs in your diet, your level of insulin will drop and your physical and mental energy will be steady, with no ups and downs.   Supporters, including a lot of health providers, believe that a ketogenic diet can make your body function like an efficient fat-burning machine. And it\u2019s not only intended to be a short-term fast weight-loss diet, but a long-term healthy eating plan, too!<\/p>\n

Foods to avoid<\/h2>\n

Your aim is to force your body into a state called \u2018ketosis\u2019, so you need to cut your carb intake down to below 20 grams a day over a few weeks.  The carb-reduction process must be done gradually, or you\u2019ll get unpleasant side effects.  Start by aiming for about 50 grams of carbs a day and cut-out the following foods:<\/p>\n
