What Is A Ketogenic Diet?

Basically a ketogenic diet (or Keto) is one where we change the balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates. A typical daily diet for most people is dominated by carbohydrates. A ketogenic diet is dominated by Protein while reducing carbohydrates in order to utilise more of our stored body fat for our energy requirements as opposed to the blood glucose which is a result of carbohydrate intake.

How Does Keto Help With Weightloss?

The main mechanism behind the effectiveness of ketogenic diets for weight loss and other health benefits is due to the reduction in insulin levels that occurs when carbohydrates are restricted. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and promotes the storage of fat, so when insulin levels are reduced, the body is better able to burn fat for fuel. Additionally, ketogenic diets have been shown to increase levels of several hormones that are involved in regulating appetite, such as GLP-1, PYY, and cholecystokinin, which can help control hunger and lead to a reduction in caloric intake.
