WHAT IS THE KETO DIET ?

 Keto

 is short for ketogenic, referring to a low in carbohydrates diet but high in protein. While originating as a medical diet, it's popularly associated with weight loss


How does the keto diet reduce weight?


Keto can help you lose weight and make some positive changes to your life. The high-fat, low-carb diet has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, creating an entire community of keto-praising eaters.

Unlike calorie restriction, keto helps you lose weight by putting your body into ketosis. When you eat minimal carbohydrates, your body produces ketones for energy—ketones made in your liver from fatty acids found in food or your body fat. Therefore, your liver burns fat to make ketones. Ketones are used for energy instead of carbs.

As your body steadily burns fat as a fuel source, you will start to lose weight. You may be wondering if keto can target specific problem areas, such as belly fat. Burning belly fat is high on the priority list for many people. The fat in your belly is visceral fat, a dangerous type of fat that lives deep inside the abdomen, encasing your internal organs. Visceral fat is linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Technically, you can’t spot-target fat areas for reduction. Your body decides where weight loss will occur. However, keto may help eliminate stubborn belly fat.

Belly fat, or visceral fat, comes from a combination of genes and a diet high in refined carbs and sugar. Visceral fat can easily become inflamed, making it incredibly stubborn to lose and dangerous to surrounding blood vessels. A well-formulated keto regimen has potent anti-inflammatory effects, making it easier to drop stubborn belly fat.

Keto alone likely will not be enough to lose a large amount of fat. Keto works well in combination with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises. Always consult with your doctor before beginning any new diet or exercise plan.
