Introduction to Ketogenic Diet
This book contains helpful facts about the ketogenic diet. It will help you understand the basics and benefits of the diet. It has simple steps and tips to get you through the diet. It also contains tasty and easy-to-do keto recipes you’ll enjoy.
History of the Ketogenic Diet
The use of fasting to treat certain diseases, including epilepsy, can be traced to the physicians of ancient times. But because prolonged fasting often results in muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies, doctors eventually began to study modified diets. During the early 1920s, Dr. Russel Wilder developed the ketogenic diet and used it to treat epileptics. It remained a popular treatment for epilepsy, especially in children, through the next decade. But when improved anticonvulsant medications were developed around 1940, the use of ketogenic diets declined.
In 1994, the ketogenic diet regained its popularity thanks to Charlie Abrahams, a boy who suffered from epilepsy despite using anticonvulsant medications and other medical treatments. His seizures were controlled only through the implementation of the ketogenic diet. This inspired his father, Hollywood producer Jim Abrahams, to set up the Charlie Foundation, which promotes and funds research about the diet. Since then, further studies have been made, and less restrictive models have become available for people seeking general health improvement and also for those desiring weight loss.
Mechanism of the Ketogenic Diet
A typical modern diet is high in carbohydrates. That causes the body to use glucose as its primary source of energy. Fats, macronutrients that normally serve as an energy source, are therefore not used and are instead stored. On the other hand, the ketogenic diet’s high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carbohydrate program causes the body to turn to fats as its energy source. Because of the lack of carbs, the liver will convert stored fats into ketone bodies and release them into the blood. These will then be used as fuel instead of the glucose from carbs. This metabolic state is called ketosis. When your body is in ketosis, fats are easily consumed rather than stored. That’s why it is also called the fat-burning mode
of the body. Ketosis is a normal result of staying on a low-carb diet (or of prolonged fasting or starvation).
Different enzymes are used for breaking down carbs and fats. Therefore, a body that is used to a high-carb diet will have to adjust before entering into ketosis. This may take three to four days. Before building up a new supply of enzymes, the body will first use up all the glucose that is left, resulting in weakness and lethargy. But once the body has adapted to ketosis, it will be able to maximize the use of fats. Some advocates of the keto diet even testify that they experience longer lasting energy throughout the day.
Is Ketosis dangerous?
Ketosis is often feared due to the confusion between it and ketoacidosis. If ketosis is the body’s normal response to a low-carb diet, ketoacidosis is an abnormal condition where excessive ketone bodies in the bloodstream have overwhelmed the body’s homeostasis – the compensatory mechanisms of the body – resulting in acidic blood pH. Ketosis is rumored to lead to ketoacidosis because ketone bodies are acidic. However, ketoacidosis actually results from a shortage of insulin, and is not due to a prolonged state of ketosis. So the only people at risk for ketoacidosis are those with type 1 diabetes or pancreatic disorders.
Food list
A keto diet is basically increasing your dietary fat intake, choosing low-carb foods, and avoiding high-carb foods. It should be at least 70% fat, around 25% protein, and only 5% carbohydrates. When choosing foods, pick those that are closest to their natural forms. As much as possible, choose raw over preserved foods, organic over highly processed, grass-fed or free-range over caged animals, wild caught over farmed fish, etc.

Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet
Brain protection
The ketogenic diet was originally designed to treat epilepsy, a neurological disease characterized by recurrent and uncontrollable shaking or seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal and excessive activities of the nerve cells in the brain. Epilepsy is now usually treated with anticonvulsant medications or surgery. But in some cases where such medications are ineffective, a ketogenic diet is implemented.
It is unclear how exactly the diet works, but in many cases it lessens the number of seizures by 50% or more, especially in children. Clinical trials show that ketone bodies have the capacity to protect brain cells from damage and prevent their premature death. They suggest that ketogenic diets can
