A Quick Look At The Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet basically refers to the eating of foods that are high in fat, adequate in protein and low in carbohydrate. When you embark on this diet, your body is made to depend upon fats rather than carbohydrates for most of its energy. Normally, the carbohydrates that are found in food are changed to glucose which is then transported throughout the body to provide the needed fuel for cell and brain function. When there isn’t enough carbohydrates in your meals, fat is broken down to fatty acids and ketone bodies. These provide energy for the whole body thereby serving as an efficient replacement for glucose.

In the classic ketogenic diet, high carbohydrate foods like starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, sugar and grains are avoided while the quantity of  foods rich in fats like nuts, cream and butter is increased. It is a special high fat diet. Heavy cream, vegetable oil and butter provide the necessary fat. It completely eliminates items like candy, pasta, bread, potatoes, cereals but then they are allowed in the more liberal forms of the diet. They must be carefully prepared and weighed on a scale. Each meal must be eaten in its entirety to be most effective. The classic diet consists of a ratio in grams of fat to non fat(protein and carbohydrates) of 4:1 or 3:1. The modified ketogenic diet consists of ration of 2:1 or 1:1.

The goal of a low carb ketogenic diet plan  is to achieve the state of ketosis. It is a normal metabolic process in which the body cells burn fragments of fat called ketones instead of glucose for fuel. It is a natural beneficial process that helps the body during those times when there is no food available. Apart from the weight loss benefits, it is known to improve certain conditions like epilepsy and autism.

Summary Of The Benefits Of The Ketogenic Diet

- Weight reduction and obesity. The ketogenic diet (about less than 50gms of carbs a day) is extremely effective for becoming lean because you are enabling the body to use fat as the primary source of energy in the absence of the carbs.

- The diet changes the way energy is used in the body. It lowers glucose levels and improves insulin resistance.

- Increased sensitivity to insulting. The low intake of carbohydrate in this type diet makes it easy for the cells to retain their level of sensitivity to insulin. If you exercise on a regular basis, stored glucose in your body’s muscles will be used up from time to time and the cells become more insulin sensitive.

- Ketogenic foods make you feel full for longer periods and this helps to avoid overeating. It leads to automatic reduction in appetite. When people eat more fat and protein and less carb,  they end up eating  much fewer calories.

- It is one of the best weight loss programs since it addresses one of the major issues related to weight gain: hormonal imbalance. Carb intake is low and this keeps insulin and blood sugar in the normal range.

- Reduction in blood pressure.

- Consult a doctor before embarking on any form of diet.
