Chapter one. What is KETO
If you’re like most people, you probably think of the keto diet as a way to lose weight quickly.
Weight loss is undoubtedly one of the benefits of going keto, but it’s not the only one.
In fact, the keto diet can also improve your overall health and well-being in many ways.
Here’s what you need to know about the keto and the ketogenic diet and how they can benefit your health.
KETO is an abbreviation for “ketogenic diet”.
The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that’s been shown to offer numerous health benefits. Studies have shown that the keto diet can help improve everything from blood sugar to cholesterol levels.
There are two main keto diets: the standard ketogenic diet (SKD) and the cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD). The SKD is the most common type of keto diet and is what most people think of when they think of going “keto.”
On the other hand, the CKD is a more flexible approach to the keto diet that allows you to include carb-rich foods in your diet periodically.
If you’re interested in trying out the keto diet, you should keep a few things in mind. First, while weight loss is certainly one of the benefits of going keto, it’s not the only one.
The main rules of the keto diet are to: – Consume high amounts of healthy fats – Eat moderate amounts of protein – consume very few carbs.
How much weight you lose on a ketogenic diet depends on several factors, including how strictly you stick to the diet and how many carbs you consume.
It also depends on whether you choose the standard ketogenic diet (SKD) or cyclic ketogenic diet (CKD), as well as how much exercise you exercise at the same time as the diet.
That said, most people can expect to lose about 1-2 pounds (0.5-1 kg) per week on the keto diet.
LCHF is an abbreviation for low carb, high fat.
The LCHF diet is similar to the keto diet because it involves reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with healthy fats.
However, there are a few key differences between the two diets.
The LCHF diet isn’t as strict as the keto diet.
While you need to limit your carb intake on the LCHF diet, you don’t need to completely eliminate carbs from your diet as you do on the keto diet.
This makes the LCHF diet a bit easier to follow than the keto diet.
Another difference between the two diets is that the LCHF diet focuses more on whole foods, while the keto diet allows for more processed and packaged foods.
The keto diet works simply by stabilizing your blood sugar, regulating your appetite, and getting your body to use fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates.
The basic principle of the diet is reminiscent of other popular diets such as the Atkins diet, Dukan diet, and LCHF (Low Carb High Fat).
