Compared to glucose, ketones are a slower but far more effective energy source. Contrary to glucose, which is produced when you consume carbohydrates, your body must break down fat from your diet and from within your body in order to produce ketones.
Consider it this way: the metabolic state of ketosis essentially makes your body a fat-burning machine. You do not need to expend all of your energy.
This diet may be the solution for many people, even though it may not be right for everyone. It may help them lose weight, find a new source of energy.
What is the keto diet?
A high-fat, low-carb diet is known as a ketogenic diet. On it, you'll substitute avocados, butter, and fatty steak cuts for starchy breads and sugary cereals. Numerous people utilize the ketogenic diet and lifestyle to manage chronic inflammation, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Everything is made possible through a process called ketosis, which we'll discuss shortly. Along with the previously listed health advantages, it also offers:
- Sustained levels of energy
- Decreased sugar addiction and decreased cravings
- Reasoning ability
- Satiety (feeling full)lessened inflammatory

The ketogenic diet first gained popularity in the 1920s when it was used to treat children with refractory epilepsy who weren't responding to medication. This diet not only reduced seizures remarkably successfully, but also unpredictably resulted in rapid weight loss.
A typical calories-in, calories-out diet is not how keto works. In fact, you shouldn't need to ever monitor calories to lose weight when in ketosis. For more than 50 years, monitoring calories has been the central strategy for weight loss, but it hasn't been very effective. You can automatically control your calorie intake without consciously restricting it if you concentrate on eating nutrient-dense foods and limit your carbohydrate intake.
Calculating Macros
The keto diet revolves around macronutrients. Simply put, your body needs a certain proportion of macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrates) to maintain ketosis.

Total Carbs or Net Carbs?
When following a ketogenic diet, you should monitor your net carb intake. It's quite simple to figure out: Net Carbs = Total Carbs - Fiber.
For instance, one cup of broccoli contains 2.4g of fiber and 6g of total carbohydrates. Accordingly, 3.6g of net carbohydrates are present in one cup of broccoli. Dietary fiber does not significantly affect metabolism, hence it does not create a blood sugar surge, so we only measure net carbs.
It is simple to switch out carbohydrates for protein when cutting carbs from the diet, however a diet heavy in protein does not help the body enter a state of ketosis. Protein should be consumed in moderation in order to appropriately transition your body to using fat for fuel.

How Much Protein on Keto?
Try to reach your daily protein goal without going above it significantly. Between 0.6 to 1.0 grams of protein are considered moderate protein per pound of lean body mass.
For instance, if you weigh 250 pounds and have 30% body fat, you have 175 pounds of lean mass and 75 pounds of fat. Accordingly, your recommended daily intake of protein should range from 105 to 175 grams.
Why Ketosis Works
Your body enters a phase known as ketosis during the first 3–7 days of the ketogenic diet. First off, a deficiency in dietary carbs causes your body to use up its reserves of glycogen, which it stores for energy.
Your body adjusts to using fat as fuel once these reserves are depleted as the liver creates ketone bodies ("ketones") for energy to replace glucose.
Compared to glucose, ketones are a slower but far more effective energy source. Contrary to glucose, which is produced when you consume carbohydrates, your body must break down fat from your diet and from within your body in order to produce ketones.
Consider it this way: the metabolic state of ketosis essentially makes your body a fat-burning machine. You do not need to expend all of your energy.
