What is the definition of a ketogenic diet? The keto, or ketogenic diet, is characterized by a  marked decrease in the consumption of carbohydrates  (the family of sugars) and protein and by an  increase in the proportion of energy that comes from fat  .  Although it is very fashionable these days, it was invented in the 1920s to  decrease seizures in children with epilepsy  and decrease the amount of medication they take.  It is still used today at CHU Sainte-Justine to treat children with epilepsy. The diet “works” when you are successful in achieving ketosis.  The claimed benefit...

  Keto Diet Benefits   Recently, the keto diet has become extremely popular for its health benefits such as weight loss and preventing disease. The keto diet can be hugely beneficial, but how does it work to provide these benefits?  What is the Keto Diet?  You may have heard of the high-protein, low-carbohydrate Atkins diet. The keto diet keeps carbohydrate levels low, but instead of ramping up the amount of protein in your diet, the keto diet increases the amount of fat. A typical keto diet aims for meals with 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbohydrate. Eating a high-fat diet can still mean eating healthy. Keto diet menu items often include seafood, meat, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, and nuts.

  The Keto diet involves going long spells on extremely low (no higher than 30g per day) to almost zero g per day of carbs and increasing your fats to a really high level (to the point where they may make up as much as 65% of your daily macronutrients intake.) The idea behind this is to get your body into a state of ketosis. In this state of ketosis the body is supposed to be more inclined to use fat for energy- and research says it does just this. Depleting your carbohydrate/glycogen liver stores and then moving onto fat for fuel means you should end up being shredded. You then follow this basic platform from say Monday until Sat 12pm (afternoon) (or Sat 7pm, depending on whose version you read). Then from this time until 12 midnight Sunday night (so up to 36 hours later) do your massive carb up… (Some say, and this will also be dictated by your body type, that you can go nuts in the carb up and eat anything you want and then there are those that more wisely- in my view- prescribe...

  A lot of things happen when you are exercising. Some of these are good for your health and others are not so good — like when you exercise excessively. Exercise is a stressor. While it can be a good stressor, it can however cause your adrenals to go into overdrive. This situation increases your insulin levels and therefore reduces your ability to lose weight. When exercising , your insulin levels goes up while your hunger reduces. However, this often results in a significant reduction in blood sugar levels which results to you becoming hungrier. It is important to note that even a moderate increase in insulin levels causes a significant lowering of fat loss or lipolysis. One problem we have when we want to lose weight is that we focus so much on the numbers showing on the scale. We almost unconsciously forget about the most important thing which is losing body fat. We have more than 80 percent of our body fat stored in fat cells. To be able to get rid of these stored fat, one wou...
