The keto diet<\/a> switches your body away from using sugar from carbs as its fuel source. And instead you eat a hunger-satisfying diet, made up of more fats \u2013 some saturated fats from cream, butter and red meat \u2013 and as much as possible from heart-healthy, unsaturated fats. You get unsaturated fats from avocadoes, olive oil, fatty fish, like salmon, sardines and mackerel, eggs and other sources.<\/p>\n

On the keto diet, you greatly reduce or cut-out carbs, and your liver switches to using \u2018fat-burning\u2019 as body fuel, including your extra <\/em>body-fat! You can get more details about what is Keto diet here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your body usually uses glucose-sugar from the carbohydrates you eat, as its fuel source. And as we know, it\u2019s a method that creates \u2018sugar highs\u2019 and \u2018lows\u2019 throughout the day. Every time our body gets low in sugar, we get a craving for more carbs in sugary foods, drinks and starchy foods, and for some people this leads to over-eating and obesity. The reason we have got into this situation is probably owed to the amount of processed food that has flooded the market during the last 50 years.<\/p>\n

3. Is processed food to blame for the obesity epidemic?<\/h2>\n

Yes. Eating processed food has been like a time-bomb that\u2019s finally exploded and caused a huge amount of ill-health and metabolic disease. Therefore, as all processed foods are full of carbs, unhealthy fats, sugar, salt and chemicals, we\u2019ve been eating very unhealthily for decades now, without realizing the danger.<\/p>\n

4. What can you eat on a keto diet?<\/h2>\n

You can eat healthy, delicious, fatty, whole foods, like bacon, cream, butter, red meat, fish and fatty fish, like salmon and sardines, some fruits and avocadoes, plus green, leafy vegetables. In addition, you eat a wide range of tasty nuts and seeds, as handy snacks. You don’t eat any processed foods or cereals, as they contain lots of carbs and chemicals. The standard keto diet has a set proportion of food types you should eat daily to lose weight more quickly than on a low-fat diet:<\/p>\n
