Ketogenic diet

 What is a ketogenic diet.?

A keto or ketogenic diet is a diet plan that helps your body achieve nutritional ketosis.

         That means your body is a relying primarily on fat and ketones (rather than sugur) for its energy. Ketones are produced when your body break down fat.

The cells in your body can produce energy from one of four sources. They can use fat, carbohydrates, proteins, or ketones.

       When you go on a ketogenic diet, you force the cells in your body to primarily use fatand ketones for fuel. And there are several benefits of doing this, which I 'll explain in a bit.

        A lots of people can achieve nutritional ketosis by eating much of fat, moderate amounts of protein, and few carbohydrates.

       But there are also many mistakes I see people make. So please make sure to read article "Mistakes To Avoid On A Ketogenic Diet".

A Brief History Of The Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet has gotten popular recently as an effective fat loss diet. But it was originally designed in the 1920s by Dr.Russell Wilder at at the Mayo Clinic.

        

 Dr. Wilder used ketogenic diet as an effective treatment for epilepsy in children. However, after anti-seizure medication became widely available, the ketogenic diet fell out of fevor.

         From 1940 until nearly 1980, there was little interest in ketogenic diets. 

         Then, the popularity of low-crab (or Atkins) diets started to rekindle interest. And the rise of paleo diet has prompted a full resurgence of interest in the ketogenic diet.

         

 This time, though, the primary focus is weight loss and health.

           In 2013, the ketogenic diet was the 5th most- searched- for diet on Google. Since that time, it's popularity has only increased.

           

In fact, a clinical trial began in 2015 to test the impact of a keto diet on 2 type diabetes and pre-diabetes. The results aren't out yet, of course. Still, more research is now underway to understand the benefits of ketogenic diet.
