5 Proven Ways to Burn Fat with the Keto Diet

in keto •  2 years ago 

The keto diet, also known as the ketogenic diet, is a very low-carb diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy, thereby aiding weight loss efforts and improving overall health.

  1. Eat Plenty of Fat
    The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that will help you burn fat. When you switch your body's primary fuel source from sugar to fat, it becomes much more difficult for your body to access and use stored fat as an energy resource. In other words, when your body's running on fat instead of glucose, the keto diet ramps up its ability to burn off excess fat faster.
    Ketogenic diets are typically very high in fat, but not all fats are created equal. The quality of your dietary fat is more important than quantity—and while you may be consuming a lot of fat on a keto diet, it isn't necessarily healthy fat. To get your body into ketosis and burn off excess weight, make sure that most of your dietary fats come from healthy sources like avocados, coconut oil, olive oil and grass-fed butter.

  1. Eat Fewer Carbs
    Forget counting calories. Forget measuring portions. Forget obsessing over every bite you put in your mouth. There’s a much easier way to lose weight and it doesn’t involve special foods, expensive supplements, or intense exercise programs. The key to losing weight is keeping track of how many carbohydrates you eat each day.
    The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate protein, low-carbohydrate diet that is used for weight loss. The goal of keto is to use fat instead of carbohydrates as fuel. When your body uses fats as its main source of energy, it produces ketones and you enter a state called ketosis where your body loses weight more easily and provides more energy than other diets.

  2. Eat Moderate Amounts of Protein
    Protein is essential for weight loss because it stimulates your muscles. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day. Protein also helps fill you up and prevents overeating. Aim for about 20-35% of your total calorie intake from protein sources like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
    Include healthy fats (five sentences)
    Fats are necessary for weight loss because they provide energy and increase satiety levels.
    Be sure that you consume healthy fats and avoid trans fats. Healthy fat sources include: olive oil, coconut oil, nuts and seeds, avocados, full-fat dairy products. In fact, research has shown that individuals following a low-carb diet rich in healthy fats shed more body fat than those eating a high carb diet rich in saturated fatty acids.

  1. Avoid Processed Foods
    Processed foods are typically full of sugar, unhealthy fats, and preservatives that can all lead to weight gain. In order to successfully lose weight, it is important that you avoid these processed foods. Instead, focus on eating whole foods like vegetables, lean proteins (like fish and beans), nuts, seeds, healthy fats (such as avocado), low-carb fruits (like berries), and others.
    If you do not have time for meal prep, try picking up a few keto meals from your grocery store or freezer aisle instead. They will give you all of the nutrients needed for a successful keto diet without any added sugars or unhealthier options.

  2. Increase Your Physical Activity
    Reducing your calorie intake and increasing your physical activity is a great way to burn fat. Studies show that people who increase their physical activity by 15 minutes per day, three times a week, tend to lose more weight than those who don't. For example, if you are walking for 30 minutes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week at a pace of 3 miles per hour you will have burned an extra 450 calories during these three days.
    You can use apps and devices like Fitbit or Nike+ that measure your steps per day and tell you how many calories you have burned. The average adult should aim for 10,000 steps per day, but it depends on your height, weight, and overall physical health. People who weigh less tend to take more steps than those who are overweight or obese because it takes less effort for them to move their bodies.
