Hey, Im eating a ketogenic diet. So low carb, high fat a protein. Have you ever heard of it?
Yes I have. is it for weight loss or another reason that you're doing it?
I want to lose a little weight yeah. The diet forces the body to burn fats instead of carbs.
Did you experience the keto flu at the beginning of the diet?
Not too bad. A little spacey in the beginning few days but after that I was fine. My body was just used to getting glucose that was made from the carbs.
Any good keto recipes?
. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Around half of children and young people with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists even after discontinuing the diet. Some evidence indicates that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that a less strict regimen
last phase for the rest of their life to avoid regaining weight. The glycemic index (on a scale from 1 to 100) of the kind of carbohydrate consumed is also of importance (see the GI diet).
