The ketogenic diet is a high fat low carbohydrate diet
I have never tried that diet.
Since the ketogenic diet is high fat and protein but low carb it makes your body burn stored fat
That makes sense, I may try it.
yea since you put no carbs in your body is forced to burn fat
I think I will start this diet next week.
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
Ketogenic diet: A high-fat, low-carb diet, in which dietary and body fat is converted into energy. It is used as a medical treatment for refractory epilepsy.
- Liquid diet: A diet in which only liquids are consumed. May be administered by clinicians for medical reasons, such as after a gastric bypass or to prevent death through starvation from a hunger strike.
- Low-FODMAP diet: A diet that consists in the global restriction of all fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs).
