Ketogenic Diet Guide




What is the Ketogenic Diet?

The ketogenic diet, or keto diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that puts your body in a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic process where your body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates.

Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet has been shown to have several health benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and a decrease in overall inflammation in the body.

How to Start the Ketogenic Diet

To start the ketogenic diet, you need to drastically reduce your carbohydrate intake and increase your fat intake. The general rule is to keep your net carb intake under 50 grams per day.

Foods that are high in fat and low in carbs are the cornerstone of the ketogenic diet. Some examples include:

Meat (beef, pork, chicken, etc.)

Fish and seafood

Eggs

Low-carb vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.)

Nuts and seeds

Avocado

Healthy fats (olive oil, coconut oil, butter, etc.)
