The ketogenic diet – better known as a keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat, and moderate protein diet. Also known as an LCHF (low carb high fat), it is a modified version of the Atkins diet.
Essentially you will switch from using glucose as the primary source of fuel to running on ketones and burn fat. This is a good thing, especially you have some unwanted fat you are trying to get rid of.
Glucose is a type of sugar you get from the foods ingested, and your body uses it for quick energy. Insulin is the hormone made by the pancreas that transports the glucose from your blood into the cells for energy. Because glucose is the most accessible molecule for the body to convert into energy, the fats are not correctly used.
Keto can promote fat loss—in the right person. For people who are sugar burners and can’t kick their sugar cravings, keto can be very helpful, because the increased fat is satisfying and curbs sugar cravings, and people eat less overall compared to their baseline diet.
