Introduction-
The ketogenic diet or as some people prefer to call it; The Keto diet or low carb diet is about consuming a lot of protein
and fats but fewer carbs. This diet makes the body send the fats that we consume to the liver, which later transforms them into energy to keep the body strong and active for a long time without feeling tired quickly.
The word ketogenic is derived from the word “ketosis” which means the state of the body when it doesn’t have enough
glucose in it to turn it into energy, so it generates ketones that work as an amazing source of energy for both the body and the brain which makes it a great option for losing weight in a short term.
The keto diet prevents you from consuming a lot for carbs which is the main reason for gaining weight because the sugar makes you hungry most of the time. When you consume carbs in small portions and focus more on protein and fat; your body doesn’t push you most of the time to eat; instead, it uses those fats to satisfy your hunger and keep you active. If you are looking for a diet that will help you lose weight in the very short term, the ketogenic diet is the perfect diet for you because it not only helps you achieve a great lean body; but also provides immense health benefits.
