Part I- The Basics of Ketogenic Diet
Chapter 1- Definition
If you have dieted before this point, you most likely understand the basic concept. Eat less, exercise more, lose the weight. For some people, it isn't that simple! In fact, the Ketogenic Diet will introduce a whole new way to look at your body. Take a moment and think about the last thing you ate. Was it healthy
for you? Up until this point, you probably haven't been treating your body the way you should. It shouldn't come as a surprise that it isn't treating you well right back! That is why you most likely have some excess weight that you are dying to get rid of.
On the ketogenic diet, you will be turning your body into a machine. Instead of using food to burn energy, you will start to burn fat once you reach ketosis. This diet is low carbohydrates and more protein. You have most likely heard about the Atkins diet and the Low Carb & High Fat Diet. While these aren’t strictly ketogenic diets, they end up being this way by pure accident. The main difference between these diets is the amount of protein.
The ketogenic diet was designed to end in ketosis. This is why it is incredibly important to understand ketosis, how to reach your optimal ketone level, and how to measure it. Later in the chapter, we will be covering everything that you need to know to get you started on your way. Our goal is to help you achieve your own personal goals. Whether it is to lose weight, get healthier, or any other reason, we are behind you 100%!
What you may not know is that there are a few different versions of the ketogenic diet. By understanding the difference, you can then make the best decision for yourself. Whether you are looking to lose weight, lower your blood pressure, or minimize the symptoms of diabetes, there is a version for everyone!
Standard Ketogenic Diet (SKD)
This version is going to be your typical ketogenic diet. As you will be learning a bit more later, it is all about taking in a low number of carbs, a high amount of fat, and just a moderate amount of protein.
High-Protein Ketogenic Diet
As you probably figured, this is much like your typical ketogenic diet. There is more protein involved. Where the standard is 20% protein, this diet will be around 35% protein. If you feel confuse by the percentage, don’t worry, we will be going over macros in a later chapter.
Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD)
If you have a hard time cutting carbs from your diet, this may be the choice for you. In the cyclical ketogenic diet, you will have higher carb refeeds. An example would be you having 5 days of strictly following the ketogenic diet, followed by two days of carb refeeds.
Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD)
If you just can’t give up working out, this will be your best option. While on the targeted diet, you will be able to consume carbs any time around your workout.
Fat Burning
True, there are amazing benefits of this ketogenic diet (as we will be going over in our next chapter) but let’s be honest; you are here because you want to lose weight! As we mentioned, the ketogenic diet is a way to use fat as fuel. As you will recall, this happens when your insulin levels drop. This is when using fat stores to burn energy will come into play. Studies have shown this is the best way to try to lose weight.
For many diets, it is usually suggested that you avoid carbohydrates in order to lose weight. In fact, this method has been used for at least 150 years! The question is, what is so bad about carbohydrates? If you weren’t already aware, it is carbohydrates that stimulate insulin in your system. What is insulin in charge of? That’s right; it controls the fat storage in your body! It is no surprise that you should be avoiding carbohydrates like the plague!
For many people, carbohydrates make up a majority of their diet. While in theory, eat less, lose more is a great concept, but it isn't exactly practical. This is the reason most people will gain the weight back within a year. The big epidemic is focusing on calories. When you do this, you ignore your hunger. It will also ignore the way your body takes care of the fat it stores. Instead of looking at food as they enemy, you need to look at food as more than calories. Instead, we will focus on food that helps burn that fat in your body, and keeps you satisfied at the same time!
When you start your ketogenic diet, you will be working with your body instead of constantly fighting against it. Think of your past diet attempts; did they go well for you? Now, we will try to use your body to your advantage. We first do this by altering your hormone balance. Once you lower your insulin and enable your stored body fat, you will find that you have more energy and don’t want to eat as often!
Once your body is in more optimal shape, the ketogenic diet can
