What is a ketogenic diet?

The ketogenic diet, commonly known as keto, is a low-carbohydrate diet that can help you lose weight quickly while also balancing hormones, improving your mental health, and treating conditions like diabetes and epilepsy. When you follow a high ketogenic diet and a very low-carb diet, your body enters a ketosis state.

What is Ketosis?

When you follow a ketogenic diet, your body enters ketosis and begins to burn fat. Ketosis is a normal metabolic process in which ketones are created from fat and the body begins to use these ketones for energy rather than glucose. A fuel is being produced through these fats to gain energy.

How you can get in ketosis fast?

You will consume a high ketogenic diet and a very low carb diet to quickly put your body into ketosis. There are a few basic methods for obtaining it quickly.

A general carb limit for a ketogenic diet is roughly 30 grammes per day. If you're an athlete, it usually goes up to 100 grammes. When you decide to follow a ketogenic diet, you need dramatically reduce your carb intake. When people begin a ketogenic diet, they are only concerned with body fat and how quickly they will lose weight. With the ketogenic diet, you will track your carbs to get your body into a ketosis condition as quickly as possible.

Increase Fats:

When you're first starting out on the ketogenic diet, the most important part of your diet is to eat good fats. This, of course, takes time. It is a proven fact that you should consume 70-80 percent of your total calories as fat. This condition significantly aids your body's switch to fat utilisation.

Exogenous ketones are dietary supplements that help you enter a ketosis state quickly. BHB Ketones (Beta-HydroxyButyrate) is a highly effective ketones. People who are more conscious about getting into ketosis should combine exogenous ketones with a ketogenic eating plan. It is a much faster way to enter the ketosis state (within 24 hours or less).
