What is KETO diet for weight loss and why you like it?

 

The principle of this diet is to eat less carbohydrates and more fat. The most important thing is to minimize the consumption of sugar and starch, but you can eat plenty of other tasty dishes and at the same time lose weight.

 

 

 

The essence of KETO diet

 

The fact is that you completely remove from the diet food in which carbohydrates are contained. At the same time, you increase the amount of protein and fatty foods.

 

 

 

The effectiveness of KETO diet for weight loss

 

Keto diet has been shown to be effective in many studies and is very popular. It has become popular due to its high effectiveness in the fight against fat deposits. On average, you can lose from 0.5 to 3 kg per week, depending on how much excess fat you have at the initial stage. Such rapid weight loss has become possible due to the fact that the body is rebuilt to get energy from fats and in conditions of calorie deficiency in the diet, it begins to consume your reserves of subcutaneous fat.

 

 

 

Basic principles and rules

 

In order for the ketone diet to bring not only the result, but the benefits, it is worth adhering to the following principles:

  • eat food that does not contain carbohydrates, the exception will be only vegetables, but not starchy
  • drink at least 2 liters of water for girls and 3-4 liters for men. If you drink an insufficient amount of water, you may get bad breath and urine.
  • Fiber must be present in the diet. The optimal amount of 30 grams. Cellulose is necessary for the proper functioning of the digestive system.
  • To make the process of losing weight faster, add exercise. 20-30 minutes at the initial stage will be enough.

Types of KETO diet

 

classic - you consume a small amount of carbohydrates every day. Many people prefer this option, as with this scheme, you can eat a small amount of fruit every day.

• target - you take a small amount of carbohydrates in the evening before the day when you have a planned workout, it will give you a burst of energy.

 

rotational or cyclic - for me personally - this is the best option. Once a week you allocate an 8-10-hour window in which you eat everything that you want. This should be predominantly carbohydrate food to replenish glycogen stores and prevent metabolic slowdown.
