Ketogenic Diet

The “keto” in a ketogenic diet comes from the fact that it makes the body produce small fuel molecules called “ketones”.

This is an alternative fuel for the body, used when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply.

Ketones are produced if you eat very few carbs (that are quickly broken down into blood sugar) and only moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar).

Ketones are produced in the liver, from fat. They are then used as fuel throughout the body, including the brain. The brain is a hungry organ that consumes lots of energy every day, and it can’t run on fat directly. It can only run on glucose… or ketones.

On a ketogenic diet, your entire body switches its fuel supply to run almost entirely on fat. Insulin levels become very low, and fat burning increases dramatically. It becomes easy to access your fat stores to burn them off. This is great if you’re trying to lose weight, but there are also other less obvious benefits, such as less hunger and a steady supply of energy, keeping you alert and focused.


There are several versions of the ketogenic diet, including:

• Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This is a very low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat diet. It typically contains 75% fat, 20% protein and only 5% carbs.

• Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This diet involves periods of higher-carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high-carb days.

• Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts.

• High-protein ketogenic diet: This is similar to a standard ketogenic diet, but includes more protein. The ratio is often 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs.

SKD and CKD are more popular.

Ketosis?

Our plan is to reduce the sugar intake and balance the fat in the body. 

Glucose is a type of sugar found in food. ... When carbohydrates are digested and sent into the blood stream they become sugars called glucose. Glucose provides energy for all of your cells. If not all of the glucose is used immediately, your body will store it in your muscles and liver as glycogen. 

When you deny your body of sugars (carbohydrates & glucose), which are the main fuel source for people, you’re also denying your body of its ability to keep glycogen stores filled up. 

When this happens, it needs to find another fuel source, so your body starts to transition to a metabolic state known as Ketosis. When your body is in ketosis, it begins to convert fat into ketones which become your body’s new fuel source. 

             

Eating too much sugars causes metabolic dysfunction, a barrage of symptoms known as classic metabolic syndrome. These include weight gain, abdominal obesity, decreased HDL and increased LDL, elevated blood sugar, elevated triglycerides, and high blood pressure. It increases your uric acid levels. Over the years many studies have shown that cancer cells feed off of sugar.

Ketosis Benefits

There are a number of awesome benefits to being in ketosis that go beyond losing weight. Here are a couple.

Better Mental Focus

Ketones are a consistent fuel source for your body, unlike carbs that go through spikes. Because of this, your brain has a consistent energy source to pull from which leads to better mental focus. You aren’t left with a foggy brain so if you find yourself needing to improve your mental focus, keto is a great way to accomplish that naturally.

Physical Endurance

Have you ever seen long-distance runner pop those gel packs in the middle of a race? The reason why is because they need to replenish their glycogen stores.

On keto, you’re not relying on glycogen so instead of popping gel packs you just keep on trucking.

The exception to this is people that do high-intensity, short bursts workouts like bodybuilders. In their case, they may consider an alternate ketogenic diet where they load up on carbs before a workout.

Epilepsy

Ketogenic diets have been proven to help people that have epilepsy.

In fact, the ketogenic was first introduced as a treatment for people with epilepsy back in the 1920s. One of the major benefits of the ketogenic diet for people that suffer from epilepsy is that they don’t have to take as many medications.

Cancer

Over the years many studies have shown that cancer cells feed off of sugar. Fortunately, cancer cells don’t know how to use ketones as a fuel source so if you remove sugars from your diet, it’s been shown to stop the growth of cancerous cells.

While keto itself is not going to cure cancer, it can go a long way in helping to treat it.
