Ever followed the ketogenic diet before?
ketogenic diet is a high fat low carb diet
Yep, so a lot more meat and less pasta and bread.
yea, the ketogenic diet is very strict about high protein and fats and nearly no carbs
It seems pretty easy to follow, I really like meat a lot more than I do carbs.
Yea same, the diet forces the body to burn fat rather than carbs
It really does work too, which makes it a great option for weight loss.
Yea normally carbs contained in food get burned but if you dont eat it the body has to burn fat
That makes a lot of sense, I really never knew why it was so effective.
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
between 30 and 50% and the dropout rate is around 45%. Although the ketogenic diet can be very effective some families report that it's not compatible with daily life on the long run because it's too restrictive as bread pasta and sweets are forbidden in the ketogenic diet. In puberty with increasing autonomy it can be difficult for adolescents to follow the diet strictly. For this reason a fat ratio of 3: 1 instead of 4: 1 can be recommended to make meals more palatable. Side effects of the ketogenic
