What is the Keto Diet?

You've probably heard of the Atkins diet, which is heavy in protein and low in carbohydrates. The keto diet reduces carbohydrate intake while increasing fat intake. Instead of increasing protein intake, the keto diet emphasizes fat consumption. A typical keto diet consists of meals that are 75 percent fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. Even if you consume a high-fat diet, you can still be healthy. Seafood, meats, milk products, eggs, veggies, and nuts are frequently seen on keto diet menus. Keto dishes have become more readily available as the keto diet has grown in popularity.

How Does the Keto Diet Works?

Adding additional fat to your diet can contribute to weight reduction, which may seem paradoxical. Your typical diet is strong in carbs, which are converted down into glucose (also known as blood sugar) and used as energy. As glucose enters your system, insulin is released, causing excess glucose to be stored as fat. The more carbs there are, the more glucose there is. The more glucose there is, the more insulin there is, and the more insulin there is, the more fat there is.
The keto diet makes use of the fact that there is no insulin surge and you don't add to your fat reserves when you eat high-fat, low-carbohydrate meals. Instead, fat from the food and fat stored in the body is broken down into ketones ("keto" stands for "ketogenic" ketones). Ketones, like glucose, may be utilized for energy, keeping your body operating without raising your blood sugar or causing you to gain weight. The keto diet has a lot of advantages.
Loss of Weight
In general, the keto diet is a great strategy to reduce weight and burn fat. Because eating less carbs lowers hunger, research suggests that keto diet users consume fewer calories overall. It is possible to lose weight quickly by burning fat for energy.

Glucose and Insulin levels are lower.

Blood sugar and insulin levels are reduced as a result of limiting carbohydrate consumption. This is especially critical for those with type 2 diabetes, which causes blood glucose levels to rise. Diabetic insulin injections can be reduced or eliminated by following a ketogenic diet.

Reduction of Triglycerides

Triglycerides, which are fat subunit molecules, are routinely seen in the circulation. High triglyceride levels are a major contributor to the development of heart disease. Because fat is burnt for energy on the keto diet, the quantity of triglyceride molecules in the blood lowers, lowering the risk of heart disease.

Improvement in Cholesterol levels

Another risk factor for heart disease is "bad" (LDL) cholesterol. When your blood contains too much bad cholesterol, it builds up in your arteries, narrowing them and leading to atherosclerosis, a kind of heart disease. The keto diet lowers bad cholesterol while increasing "good" (HDL) cholesterol levels in the body.
