Nowadays, a healthier body and an ideal weight is the desire and concern of many people. Many people (and maybe you) have tried a lot of dieting methods with all of the hard treatments. Some individuals may prefer to pay expensively to attain the ideal body weight they had desired.

The fact is that no matter how hard people have tried, it seems that there is no progress at all. Some people may lose pounds of weight and gain many kilos in a short period. How can this happen? Surely, all of the dieting methods are good. However, everyone has a different body condition. This is why; a method that is good for somebody may not be effective to the other one. It is important to know which dieting method that suits to your body so you will effectively reach your ideal body weight without wasting your time.

Ketogenic diet can be said to be a dieting method that encourages the liver to produce more ketones. Normally, after the mealtime, your body will change the carbs you consume into glucose. Glucose is chosen as the main energy source as it is the molecule in the human body that is easiest to convert. As glucose fulfills the need of energy for the body, the fats stay and heaped up in your body.

By this ketogenic dieting method, the number of carbs intake is tightly limited and the body will reach a condition called ketosis – a condition where the body tries to survive when the food intake is low. As a response to this condition, the liver will change fats into ketones that will be used as the energy resource. By doing this dieting method, hopefully, the amount of fats in the body will reduce so you will reach your ideal body weight with healthier body condition.

Besides an ideal body weight and healthier body that will take you away from many dangerous diseases such as type 2-diabetes, high cholesterol level, etc.; another interesting advantage of having ketogenic diet is that you will feel lightweight and surely be more energetic. Moreover, as your health is better you can say good-bye to acnes and get a fresher appearance.

Read on to enjoy the great recipes outlined in this book!

The general definition of the word “Keto” is derived from a bodily metabolic process known as “Ketosis.” This process is what allows to body to lose weight so fast while under a Ketogenic Diet.

In the simplest and Layman’s terms, the definition of the word “Keto” is derived from a process known as Ketosis.

What is Ketosis you say? Well, it is the process through which the body releases a chemical called Ketones which significantly helps to lower down the level of fats in our body and sustain all your activities well. When there is scarcity of carbohydrate from the food you take, the fat in your body is burnt to provide that energy, which your carbohydrate could not provide. As a consequence of the process, ketones are produced.

An important aspect that you must keep in mind is that you should not get confused between ketosis and ketoacidosis, which is an even more harmful procedure that takes place in the body. However, if you have adequate fat in your body, the ketones are not made use of.

Most importantly, a balanced diet is the best way to have a great metabolism as the optimum amount of fat is burnt and also whether the ketones will be burnt or not is regulated. And if a diabetic with untreated diabetes has ketosis, it is a sign that the hormone insulin is not being optimally utilized in the body.

I will tell you how that works in just a bit.

But, let’s get back to Ketogenic Diet first.

So, the primary aim of a Ketogenic Diet is to basically down your carbohydrate input to a very basal and minimal level, while at the same time doubling on your fat intake.

And this is precisely why Ketogenic Diet has also been known as a High-Fat-Low-carb Diet all around the world.

Thanks to that, Ketogenic Diet is also called “High-Fat-Low-Carb Diet” amongst people of different niche.

However, before fully explaining how a Ketogenic Diet works you need to learn to appreciate how the body controls its Glucose and Insulin levels.

To make things clear and easy, whenever our body is taking up a significant amount of Carbohydrate, the production or glucose and insulin start to rise as well.

One thing you should know, though, that Glucose is a pretty flexible convertible molecule, which the body uses whenever energy is required.

Alternatively, Insulin works as a means of countermeasure if the level of glucose in the bloodstream goes beyond normal levels. If the degree of glucose in the blood is low, insulin levels lower down. On the other hand, if the glucose level rises, insulin helps to lower it down.

You might be wondering now, what does all of these have to do with losing your weight right?

Well, whenever your body is in a constant supply of glucose, it starts to break it down rather than fat to get the energy! So, burning down Fat is entirely avoided here.

Even if you end up running all day and are in need of an energy boost, the fat just stays there in your body instead as the glucose is being burned for the energy, causing the fat to keep accumulating.

As long as you are on a high carbohydrate diet, the fat levels won’t come down because the body is always breaking down Carbohydrates.

And this is where Ketogenic Diet kicks in!

Whenever your body is derived from a good supply of carbohydrate, it throws the body into a state of “Ketosis” where it will release the aforementioned chemicals called “Ketones.”

Ketones then greatly help to encourage the burning down of fat from our body.

And Since fat is usually present in abundance in our body, the body always feels energetic to the core.

History of Ketogenic Diet

The Ketogenic Diet became very trendy as a treatment for epilepsy seizure in the mid 1920s and 30s. It was developed to give a substitute for non-mainstream fasting, which had established triumph as a therapy for epilepsy. On the other hand, the diet was ultimately discarded due to the beginning of new anticonvulsant therapies. Though it emerged that the majority cases of epilepsy could be efficiently restricted by using these medications, they were still unsuccessful to attain epileptic control in around 20% to 30% of epileptics. For these folks, and mainly children with epilepsy, the diet was re-introduced as a method for the administration of the condition.
