    INTRODUCTION

    What Is A Ketogenic Diet?

    A low carbohydrate, high fat, moderate protein diet in which the body system produces ketones in the liver in place of glucose to be used as energy is known as a ketogenic diet. It is also known as a low carb diet, keto diet or low carb high fat (LCHF) etc.

    When you consume foods that are high in carbohydrate, the body system produces glucose and insulin. Glucose is the simplest molecule in the body that can be reproduced to be used as energy, so it is usually chosen over every other source of energy. While the insulin serves as the catalyst that takes the glucose around the body via the bloodstream.

    Since carbohydrate is the source of the primary form of energy in the body, the fats consumed are not being used instead they are stored in the body but when you reduce the intake of carbohydrate food the body is induced into a ketosis state.

    Ketosis is a natural process the body embarks on when the food intake is low in other to survive. While in this state, the body system produces ketones; ketones are formed from the breakdown of fats in the liver.

    What Are Ketones

    When you replace the excess intake of carbohydrate with that of fats, the body begins to burn ketones as the primary source of energy. Optimal levels of ketone offer many health, physical, weight loss and metal performance benefits.

    Types Of Ketone Bodies

    There are three known ketone bodies which are water-soluble molecules that are created by the liver from fatty acids.

    1. Acetoacetate

    2. Beta-hydroxybutyrate

    3. Acetone

    These ketone bodies are picked up by the extra-hepatic tissues and processed into acetyl-CoA which is then transported into the citric acid cycle and is oxidized in the mitochondria for energy.

    Types of Ketogenic Diets

    There are three major types of ketogenic diets being practiced, they include:

    Standard Ketogenic Diet: This ketogenic diet comprises of low-carb, high-fat and moderate protein consumption. It consists of 75% fats, 20% proteins and 5% carbohydrate.

    Cyclical Ketogenic Diet: In this kind of ketogenic diet, there's a period of ketogenic dieting days followed by higher-carbohydrate intake and so on. For example, 1 week of ketogenic diet days followed by 3 days of higher-carbohydrate days.

    Targeted Ketogenic Diet: This kind of ketogenic diet gives you the opportunity to increase the consumption of carbohydrates during your workout period.

    The standard ketogenic diet is the only kind of ketogenic diet that have been studied, researched and is usually recommended, most especially for beginners. The other two types of ketogenic diets are more advanced and are usually undertaken by athletes and bodybuilders.
