The diet is ketogenic. It has been recommended by doctors for many years since it is effectively treats specific conditions in both children and adults. Currently, it is becoming more popular among those whose goal is to lose weight.

The ketogenic diet is low in carbs. First of all you should know what happens when you cut carbs. When we are not on any kind of diet, we consume carbs, fats and protein. The first thing the body uses for energy is the carbs since they are easily digested. The rest of the foods you eat is then stored as fat. Once you cat your carbs, your body starts using protein and fat for energy. These two are not that easy to digest and you start burning a lot of energy. Make protein and fat your primary fuel if you want to stay slim.

Where does the name of the diet come from? Let us explain what ketone bodies are. The human brain can be compared to a hybrid car. It can use two forms of power – ketones and glucose. When your body runs out of glucose, it starts using ketone bodies. The latter are by-products of the incomplete breakdown of FFA in the liver. Individuals whose diet contains healthy fat increase the amount of FFA in the blood. The body starts producing ketones at a tremendous rate. The person feels no hunger, loses pounds yet provides his organism with sufficient amount of calories.
