The Keto Diet is becoming very popular these days. The Keto diet is based on the diet of Japanese Samurai warriors several centuries ago. In those times there was no bread or refined carbohydrates. Each meal consisted of rice, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. This diet supose to increase endurance, decrease cholesterol and reduce weight. This diet also lowers the risk for heart disease. This type of diet has also has shown to be effective in improving the symptoms of diabetes.
Unlike most diets. The Keto Diet allows you to eat almost anything you like as long as it does not have a lot of added sugars. Processed oils or sugars are also to be avoided. For example, you can eat all types of fresh fish, hot dogs, pastas, salad dressings. But without worrying about adding sugar, butter, salt and fats to foods. This diet also allows you to eat unsweetened sparkling water along with your meals. This is because when people eat foods they feel hungry and do not have time to get into a full eating process. If you do this, your body will not metabolize the sugars and as a result they can cause your blood sugar levels to rise.
As with most weight loss plans. One of the biggest challenges you will face is introducing new foods into your diet. For this reason. It is best to eat healthy foods first by getting your body used to eating foods containing low levels of carbs. This means, eating foods high in proteins such as eggs, poultry, fish, and even cutting back on meats such as beef. Also try eating breakfast each day and include foods high in vitamins and minerals. Choose cereal and other grain products. Besides eating breakfast in the morning, eat a serving of fruit and vegetables and a pair of slices of bread.
The second part of the Keto Diet involves implementing an intermittent fasting plan. Dr. Michael Allen, author of the eBook "The Keto Diet Solution", says that fasting is not bad for you if. That is if you do it in a controlled way and do not skip any meals. Regulate your food intake. Don't allow yourself to become hungry between meals. Thus intermittent fasting can help you achieve your weight loss goals. It's best to keep your intake at about 20% of your daily calorie intake and increase your water intake. Do this at least twice a day. This helps your body to process all the foods you eat.
One way that the intermittent fasting works is by raising your metabolism. It raise your metabolism so that you burn more fat for energy. Also, this type of diet requires that you limit your carbohydrate intake. This makes your blood sugar levels to remain steady. For people who struggle with blood sugar control, this is the perfect plan. By keeping your blood sugar levels stable, you will have a better chance at keeping the weight off. Even if you do gain back a few pounds when you stop the diet.
There are some different plans out there, but the best way to start is still to follow the standard keto diet. Stick to the plan and eat the foods you enjoy. Even if you do not eat all the carbohydrates or fats you were eating before, you'll see steady results. Of course, you want to make sure that you are getting all vitamins and minerals you need daily. Take extra time to consider how your daily diet stacks up against the standard diet. Then you'll start enjoying some of the benefits of the new diet as soon as today!
