Publisher's Synopsis
It's a widely spread knowledge that our bodies are designed to run primarily on carbs. We use them to provide our bodies with the energy required for boosting our state, exercising or just for normal body functioning. However, what most people are clueless about is the fact that carbs are not the only source of fuel our bodies can use. Just like they can run on carbs, our bodies can also use fat source. When we ditch the carbs and focus on providing our bodies with more fat, we are embarking on the ketogenic train.
The ketogenic diet is not just another fad diet. It has been around since 1920 and has resulted in outstanding results and amazingly successful stories. If you are new to the keto world and have no idea what I am talking about, let me simplify this for you.
For you to truly understand what the keto diet is all about and why you should start it as soon as you can, let me first explain what happens to your body after consuming a carb-loaded meal.
Imagine you have just swallowed a giant bowl of spaghetti. Your tummy is full, your taste buds are satisfied, and your body is provided with more carbs than necessary. After consumption, your body immediately starts the process of digestion, during which your body will break down the consumed carbs into glucose, which is a source of energy your body depends on. So, one might ask, "What is wrong with carbs?" There are some things - for starters, they raise the blood sugar, making your body work excessively to offset the effects of that sugar, and kindly storing it as another layer of fat, usually around the belly, but many times around the organs too. That's extremely dangerous. Sounds scary? I know.
By now, you've undoubtedly heard of the keto diet and the many people who have had success losing weight and keeping it off. But just what is a ketogenic diet, and how does it work to reach your weight loss goal.
Not only can the keto diet promote weight loss, but it also comes with numerous health benefits such as management of diabetes, lower cholesterol, improved mental clarity, reduces the risk and symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (POS), lower risk of some cancers, and lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
