Although it may seem like a modern concept to quickly shed off some kilos, the ketogenic diet first gained popularity in the 1920s when it was discovered that the low-carb, high-fat diet might lower seizures in young epilepsy patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the keto diet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The keto diet is all about cutting out one of the main macronutrients required by the body i.e carbohydrates a.k.a the dreaded carbs! You just need to limit your carb intake and compensate for it with calories with a combination of proteins and fats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Science Behind It\u2026.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The basic process behind the success of the ketogenic diet is KETOSIS<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, Your body turns carbohydrates<\/a> into glucose for energy. However, when you consume less than 50 grams of carbohydrates each day, your body eventually runs out of quick-acting fuel which can be relied upon for energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when you cut carbs, you switch to converting protein and fat into energy. This is ketosis. Burning of fatty acids and proteins causes you to lose weight. Your body can take anything from three to four days to a couple of weeks to transition into full ketosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s crucial to remember that the ketogenic diet is a temporary eating plan that prioritises weight loss over the quest for health advantages.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
