The keto diet, short for the ketogenic diet, is like a low-carb, high-fat adventure for your body. Here’s the deal: normally, your body loves to use carbs as its main source of energy. But with keto, you flip the script.
On a keto diet, you drastically cut down on carbs, like bread, pasta, and sugary stuff. Instead, you load up on fats, like avocados, nuts, and butter, along with a moderate amount of protein from sources like meat, fish, and tofu.
When you go low-carb, your body enters a state called ketosis. It’s like a metabolic switch where your liver starts making ketones from fats. These ketones become your new energy source, and they’re pretty good at burning fat for fuel.
People often turn to keto for weight loss because it can help your body tap into fat stores. But it’s not just about shedding pounds; some use it to manage conditions like epilepsy or even for improved mental clarity.
Just remember, keto isn’t for everyone, and it can be a bit of an adjustment. Plus, it’s essential to do it right and talk to a healthcare pro or dietitian to make sure it’s safe and sustainable for you. And keep in mind, while keto can be effective, there are many ways to eat healthily, so choose the one that works best for your lifestyle and goals.
