Introduction
The ketogenic diet, sometimes referred to as the keto
diet, is a diet that includes a variety of high-fat, low-carb meals. It works similar to the Atkins diet, or other low-carb diets that people eat.
The keto diet works by significantly reducing your intake of carbohydrates and replacing them with healthy fats. By doing this, you put your body into a metabolic state that is called ketosis
. When ketosis happens, your body becomes more efficient at burning fat for energy. This is achieved by the liver turning fat into ketones which supply energy for your brain.
There are many other health benefits associated with this diet as well. Some of these other benefits of this diet include its ability to reduce blood sugar and insulin levels. All of these perks combined have been shown to have a significant amount of health benefits associated with them. We will look further into these health benefits of this diet in a few moments.
There are four different types of ketogenic diets that you can follow. For this book, we will primarily focus on the standard ketogenic diet. However, it is important to understand the other diet styles and how they may be able to benefit you. The four additional types include:
• Standard Ketogenic Diet: this diet consists of low carbs (5%), a moderate amount of protein (20%), and a high fat (75%) intake.
• High-Protein Ketogenic Diet: this variation of the diet is similar to the standard ketogenic diet, but differs in one primary aspect: it contains a higher protein content. It looks more like this: a low carb (5%), a moderate protein (35%) and a higher but still moderate fat (60%) intake.
• Cyclical Ketogenic Diet: this is one of the two versions of the ketogenic diet that is used by athletes and bodybuilders. This is typically the diet variation that is chosen by those who perform high cardio activities in high amounts. It follows a schedule that generally looks like this: 5 days of ketogenic diet, 2 days of high-carb intake.
• Targeted Ketogenic Diet: this version of the diet is also primarily used by athletes or bodybuilders, however this one is more often used by high-resistance trainers. Those who use this diet eat a standard ketogenic diet, but increase their carb intake around workouts.
Out of all four of the ketogenic diet styles, only the standard and high-protein variations have been studied extensively for their health values. The cyclical and targeted versions are more advanced and intense versions of the diet, and as stated, are primarily used by athletes and bodybuilders. They have not had any significant amount of research done to prove whether or not their more beneficial than the standard and high-protein variations, however it is believed that they do have more benefit to those who adopt higher activity levels through either cardio or high-resistance training.
How The Ketogenic Diet Works
Ketosis is the term that refers to a metabolic state in which your body is burning fat at an extremely high rate and your entire body, including your brain, runs on fat. This is because fat provides the basis for ketone bodies, where the energy molecules are found in the blood, like sugar. These energy molecules become fuel for your brain after they are converted from fat into ketones in the liver.
Your blood stream must have low levels of insulin in order to encourage ketone production. Therefore, the lower your insulin levels are, the higher your ketone levels will be. When this happens, you have reached a state that
