Keto Diet for Beginners

This book is able to clarify all the doubts that you might have had about the Ketogenic diet. After you read this, you will be well informed about all the process of Ketosis, how to achieve it, all the myths surrounding a Ketogenic diet and how you can get the most out of it. The ketogenic diet is a high fat, normal protein and low carbohydrate diet. This diet makes the body burn fats instead of carbohydrates as fuel for brain related functions. Normally, the body breaks down the food we eat and converts the carbohydrate in the food to glucose which is then transported around the body, including the brain, to serve as fuel. When the supply of carbohydrates to the body is limited, it forces the liver to burn the fats in the food into fatty acids and ketone bodies. These ketone bodies then serve as fuel for the brain functions instead of glucose. When the ketone levels in the body rise, the process is called ketogenesis and the state of the body is called ketosis. The ketogenic diet is also used in the medicinal field as a way to control epileptic seizures. The next step for you now will be to find out the correct amount of calories and macros that you need to consume every day and head to the nearest store after you make a list of all low carb groceries and vegetables that you need to keep a stock of, at home. Plan for the diet and make changes when you see the process stalling. And more importantly, be patient. Good things come to those who wait! Happy Dieting!
