First of all let's get this out of the way. What does the word “keto" mean? Basically the body can run on two different fuels. One is sugar from carbohydrates in the food we eat: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc.
The other fuel is fat. The keto diet is a very low-carb diet. So low in carbs that the body has to switch to mainly using fat for fuel. For example from real foods like eggs, meat, avocados, butter, olive oil, nuts, etc.
Even the brain can become fueled by fat. When the body has run out of sugar, fat is converted in the liver into energy molecules called ketones that fuel the brain. And the diet that results from this is called ketogenic, meaning it produces ketones.
And that's why the diet is called the keto diet. Being fueled mostly by fat, a state called "ketosis", has many benefits including that you become a fat-burning machine.
It's perfect for weight loss without hunger burning fat 24/7 even when you're sleeping. Because it gives you tons of energy, you'll basically never run out. That's why the keto diet has become super popular in the last few years.
The foundation of keto is something dieters have heard a million times. It's a strict low-carb diet. It's a gluten-free diet. It's similar to the paleo diet. It's very close to the old and well-known Atkins diet. Remember that?
Keto is super simple and based on real foods. You simply avoid most carbohydrates like sugar, processed junk food, bread, pasta, rice etc. And instead you eat meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and natural fats like butter.
What is different with keto? Answer: It's a supercharged low-carb diet. We'll get to the details later. So keto is a supercharged version of several old diet ideas. Similar diets keep returning, more popular than ever because they work. This fact could have an evolutionary explanation. Our ancient ancestors did not eat refined carbohydrates or sugars like we do today. Our bodies today may not yet be adapted to those kinds of foods.
Modern science proves that keto diets works. On a keto diet, most people can lose excess weight without hunger and a number of health issues tend to improve. Most importantly, a keto diet is not just used as a temporary fix. Many people actually enjoy it as a long term lifestyle.
Keto isn't just for weight loss. It's also for long-term health and well-being and staying fit year-round.
Many people feel energized, full of mental clarity and have stable blood sugar levels. Most of the hunger disappears, cravings for sweets foods are reduced, so there's no need to snack all the time anymore.
People save time by being happy with fewer meals. They eat delicious food whenever they're hungry and there's not even any need to count calories.
Most people feel so satiated on keto that they can eat when they're hungry and still eat less and lose excess weight.
They don't even have to exercise. Now of course some exercise is good for you for health and feeling your best, but it's not required for weight loss and certainly not on keto.
