I recently started a ketogenic diet and I'm feeling great! The high-fat, high protein, low carb combination seems to be a winner!
I have heard that is really good for you
It is! Very effective with weight loss too because the body is forced to burn fat for energy instead of carbs.
What kind of stuff can you eat on it?
I eat a lot of meat! Steak, chicken, fish, etc. Also, I make sure that I eat lots of veggies with my meals. It's very important to drink a lot of water. If you don't you can develop kidney stones.
i will keep that in ind!
Ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies
effective as mood stabilizers, it has been suggested that the ketogenic diet—used for treating pediatric epilepsy—could have mood stabilizing effects. Ketogenic diets are diets that are high in fat and low in carbohydrates, and force the body to use fat for energy instead of sugars from carbohydrates. This causes a metabolic response similar to that seen in the body during fasting. This idea has not been tested by clinical research, and until recently, was entirely hypothetical. Recently, however, two case studies have been described where ketogenic
