Ketogenic diet is any diet that "forces" the body into a ketosis.
When you are in ketosis, your body use fat for energy, because of that you will lose fat easy!
To come into ketosis you must eat a lot of fat, enough protein and very little carbohydrates.
Ketosis is a normal metabolic process. When it doesn't have enough carbohydrates from food for your cells to burn for energy, it burns fat instead. As part of this process, it makes ketones.
The ketogenic diet works like any diet: limiting the number of calories you consume, creating a caloric deficit in which the body burns more energy than we consume food.
Benefits Of Ketogenic Diet
- Ketogenic diet control blood sugar and reduce the sharp rise in insulin.
- Ketogenic diet allows us to eat food that makes us satisfied and fuller
Successful Keto diet is related to the proper balancing ratio of macronutrients. It is generally recommended that the ketogenic diet daily calorie intake division to 60% of calories from fat, 35% protein and 5% carbohydrate.
Carbohydrate intake in general should be limited to less than 50 grams a day. At the outset, it is generally recommended to restrict their carbohydrate intake to 20 grams a day, because it will help small carbohydrate initially help to enter ketosis.
Some of the allowed foods on the keto diet:
- All kinds of meat

- Vegetables - all kinds, especially green. Initially avoid legumes (peas, beans and green beans)

Nice post! I think it is very helpful :D

I have a good friend who's lost a lot by means of keto and lots of exercise. She told me about it last summer (when she started) and she really likes the lifestyle change.
Thanks @luka.skubonja - glad I am following you because you've always got something good! :)
P.S. She's not on steemit, but I sent her the link to this post :D Maybe she'll join after she sees it! Take care.

Oh, cool. You take requests! I just might take you up on that ;)
While I've never gone full keto, I did completely cut grain from my diet. And my bloodwork has never been more stellar; EVERYTHING (LDL, cholesterol, trigylcerides) decreased since my last blood test four years ago.
Hi - Paleo-trail recommended your post to Steemtrail today, and we would like to see it come up in the paleo tag, as we think it would assist our readers. Can we be cheeky and suggest you add keto and paleo into your tags (instead of life and writing, which are very general tags). We'd love to see more of your writing come through paleo.
Done! :)
Thanks @paleo-trail
