For more information on the ketogenic diet:
Essentially, the ketogenic diet is a very low-carb diet plan that works by “tricking” the body into thinking it is fasting, through a strict elimination of glucose that is found in carbohydrate foods.
At the core of the ketogenic diet is severely restricting intake of all or most foods with sugar and starch (carbohydrates). These foods are broken down into sugar (insulin and glucose) in our blood once we eat them, and if these levels become too high, extra calories are much more easily stored as body fat and results in unwanted weight gain. However, when glucose levels are cut off due to low-carb dieting, the body starts to burn fat instead and produces ketones that can be measured in the blood.
When you’re following a ketogenic diet, your body is burning fat for energy rather than carbohydrates, so in the process most people lose weight and excess body fat rapidly, even when consuming lots of fat and adequate calories through their diet. Another major benefit of the keto diet is that there’s no need to count calories, feel hungry or attempt to burn loads of calories through hours of intense exercise.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I'll be talking about what the ketogenic diet is and what it isn't.
