Low-carb diet: Can it help you lose weight?

Low-carb diet: Can it help you lose weight?

Could a low-carb diet give you an edge in losing weight?

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Definition

A low-carb diet limits carbohydrates — such as those found in grains, starchy vegetables and fruit — and emphasizes foods high in protein and fat. Many types of low-carb diets exist. Each diet has varying restrictions on the types and amounts of carbohydrates you can eat.

Purpose

A low-carb diet is generally used for weight loss. Some low-carb diets may have health benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Why you might follow a low-carb diet

You might choose to follow a low-carb diet because you:

• Want a diet that restricts certain carbs to help you lose weight
• Want to change your overall eating habits
• Enjoy the types and amounts of foods featured in low-carb diets

Check with your doctor before starting any weight-loss diet, especially if you have any health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.

Diet details

A low-carb diet restricts the amount of carbohydrates you eat. Carbohydrates are grouped as simple natural (lactose in milk and fructose in fruit), simple refined (table sugar), complex natural (whole grains or beans) and complex refined (white flour).

Common sources of naturally occurring carbohydrates include:

• Grains
• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Milk
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Legumes (beans, lentils, peas)

In general, complex carbohydrates are digested more slowly and they have less effect on blood sugar than refined carbohydrates do. They also provide fiber.

Refined carbohydrates such as sugar or white flour are often added to processed foods. Examples of foods with refined carbohydrates are white breads and pasta, cookies, cake, candy, and sugar-sweetened sodas and drinks.

Your body uses carbohydrates as its main energy source. During digestion complex carbs are broken down into simple sugars (glucose) and release into your blood (blood glucose).

Insulin is released to help glucose enter the body’s cells, where it can be used for energy. Extra glucose is stored in the liver and muscles, and some is converted to body fat.

A low-carb diet is intended to cause the body to burn stored fat for energy, which leads to weight loss.

Typical foods for a low-carb diet

In general, a low-carb diet focuses on proteins and some nonstarchy vegetables. A low-carb diet generally limits grains, legumes, fruits, breads, sweets, pastas and starchy vegetables, and sometimes nuts and seeds. However, some low-carb diet plans allow small amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

A daily limit of 0.7 to 2 ounces (20 to 57 grams) of carbohydrates is typical with a low-carb diet. These amounts of carbohydrates provide 80 to 240 calories. Some low-carb diets greatly restrict carbs during the initial phase of the diet and then gradually increase the number of allowed carbs.

In contrast, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45% to 65% of your total daily calorie intake. So if you consume 2,000 calories a day, carbs would account for between 900 and 1,300 calories a day.

Results

Weight loss

Most people can lose weight if they restrict calories and increase physical activity. To lose 1 to 1.5 pounds (0.5 to 0.7 kilogram) a week, you need to eat 500 to 750 fewer calories each day.

Low-carb diets, especially very low-carb diets, may lead to greater short-term weight loss than do low-fat diets. But most studies have found that at 12 or 24 months, the benefits of a low-carb diet are not very large.

Cutting calories and carbs may not be the only reason for the weight loss with low-carb diets. Some studies show that you may shed some weight because the extra protein and fat helps you feel full longer, which helps you eat less.

Other benefits

Low-carb diets that emphasize healthy sources of carbs, fat and protein may help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. In fact, almost any diet that helps you shed excess weight may improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels, at least temporarily.

Risks

A sudden and drastic reduction in carbs can cause temporary side effects, such as:

• Constipation
• Headache
• Muscle cramps

Severe carb restriction can cause your body to break fat down into ketones for energy. This is called ketosis. Ketosis can cause side effects such as bad breath, headache, fatigue and weakness.

It’s not clear what kind of possible long-term health risks a low-carb diet may pose. Restricting carbs in the long term they may result in vitamin or mineral deficiencies and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Some health experts believe that if you eat large amounts of fat and protein from animal sources, your risk of heart disease or certain cancers may actually increase.

If you opt to follow a low-carb diet, pay attention to the fats and proteins you choose. Limit foods with saturated and trans fats, such as meat and high-fat dairy products, which may increase your risk for heart disease.

Your Guide to the Keto Diet

How the Keto Diet May Lead to Weight Loss and Feeling Energized.

APR. 10, 2019

 
2 MIN. READ

“Keto” refers to ketogenesis, a process in the body that results from significantly reducing the carbohydrates in your diet and increasing your fat intake. The keto diet has been around a long time and has even been used for medical reasons, but athletes, celebrities and others are turning to the regimen as an effective weight loss technique.

How Does It Work?

When you’re on the ketogenic diet, you are in a state similar to fasting – your body is using fat for fuel. Normally your body gets energy from readily available carbohydrates, but on a keto diet, your carb intake is slashed. “When carbs are available, the body will naturally turn to them for energy instead of using dietary fat or stored body fat,” explains Pam Nisevich Bede, RD, MS, a dietitian with Abbott.

However, without regular replenishing of carbohydrates, the body begins to break down fat for energy, resulting in the formation of ketones. Ketones can eventually be used by the body for energy.

The move from carb to fat fueling is marked by an adaptation phase. This phase can come with some lethargy and other symptoms as your body adjusts (we discuss this more later) but you’ll start to notice weight loss as well as more steady energy and less hunger. “This can be a hard shift for someone who’s been fueling with bagels and pasta their entire life, but after three to five weeks, the body adapts,” Bede explains.

What You’ll Be Eating

The key to keto is knowing what’s in your food. “On a standard diet, most people consume approximately 50-55 percent carbohydrates, 20-25 percent protein and 20-25 percent fat,” says Bede. “With a keto diet, the breakdown is approximately 75 percent fat, 20 percent protein and 5 percent carbohydrates.” For example, a woman who weighs 150 pounds and is moderately active is recommended to eat 25 grams of carbs (think one medium sized apple!), 86 grams of protein (a little over three 3 oz chicken breasts) and 189 grams of fat (hello, avocados and nuts!) per day on the keto diet.

A typical keto diet will consist of foods high in protein and healthy fats, including red meat and poultry, fatty fish, non-starchy vegetables, dark, leafy greens, avocado, coconut oil, keto-style coffee, bone broths and of course plenty of water. When you’re in a pinch, you can grab a ZonePerfect Keto shake in flavors like White Chocolate Coconut or Butter Coffee. to meet your targets to stay fueled and satiated on the go

What to Expect

During the transition to a keto diet, you might experience some minor side effects. Don’t get discouraged — it’s a normal part of the process. Bede explains that new diet adopters might feel symptoms of “keto flu,” including headaches, nausea, fogginess, muscle cramping and fatigue. Make sure you are not too low on electrolytes — sip on broth or take a salt tablet to get needed sodium. If you’re an avid runner or athlete, you might feel a bit drained at first during those workouts, but Bede notes that “Once adapted, gym goers and strength athletes will have no issues cran­­­king through a workout session.”

Remember that this transition might last about three to five weeks, and the benefits can certainly outweigh the immediate side effects. Bede no­­tes that you might notice increased energy throughout the day and some people report a feeling of greater mental clarity or focus. Further, the combination of fat and protein on the keto diet may contribute to increased feelings of satiety.

A keto diet is an option for people looking to lose fat and build muscle, but like any diet, it’s not the best choice for everyone. Pregnant women, serious endurance athletes and people managing Type 1 diabetes as well as other conditions may have trouble with the restrictions of a keto diet. If you are considering starting a keto regimen, research it well, consult with your doctor and have regular blood lipid testing to ensure your cholesterol and other levels stay in healthy ranges.

How Many Carbs Can You Eat on Keto

Sharing is caring!

Inside: Carb counting simplified. How many carbs are considered low carb, how many carbs can you eat on keto, and what is the difference between total carbs and net carbs.

Whenever I share a keto recipe, especially desserts, I’ll usually receive a few comments along the lines of:

That’s not keto! It has too many carbs!

And then usually there will be others who comment back to say just the opposite!

When it comes to counting carbs and figuring out how many carbs you can eat on keto, there are a LOT of differing opinions.

So how do you decipher what works?

Types of Low Carb Diets

The definition of “low carb” varies among diet plans and dieters.

My goal is to break it down into super simple terms.

I’m not a medical expert. I’m not a keto diet coach. I’m simply someone who has tried quite a few different low carb diets myself over the years.

Hopefully that helps me explain in a way that makes sense to the average person!

When I first started researching the keto diet, I had a lot of questions. These are the things that I wanted to know and the very basics for anyone looking to start the keto diet.

Strict Low Carb = less than 20 grams carbs per day

The purpose of this strict phase is to put the body into a state of ketosis and accelerate weight loss. In overly simplified terms, ketosis is a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy.

If you’ve ever done a diet like Atkins or the South Beach Diet, you might recognize this as the initial phase of each respective plan. On the South Beach Diet, phase one lasts for two weeks. On Atkins, you can stay on phase one until you’re about 15 pounds away from your goal weight.

Many diet plans limit the amount of time spent on this strict low carb period, and restricting carbs to this degree may not be safe for everyone.

Who should NOT do a strict low carb diet:

• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Children
• Anyone with Type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, or any pre-existing liver, pancreatic or kidney issues or conditions
• Anyone recovering from an eating disorder

Always consult with your health care professional to ensure that there are no pre-existing medical conditions or medications that may conflict with a strict low carb or ketogenic diet.

Moderate Low Carb = 20-60 grams carbs per day

Many keto diet plans recommend a more moderate low carb range for longer term maintenance or for persons that are not good candidates for a strict low carb diet.

Since ketosis can often be achieved by staying under 60 grams of carbs per day, you may not need to do a strict low carb diet to see substantial results.

Athletes and highly-active people may even be able to tolerate more than 60 grams of carbs per day.

Maintenance = 60-100 grams carbs per day

One of the reasons that dieters fail (in any type of diet, not just the keto diet) is that they have trouble sticking with a strict plan for weeks, months, and years.

That’s why it’s important to find a realistic way of eating that you can handle in the long term – more of a lifestyle change than a diet (which we often view as temporary).

Once you’ve reached your weight loss goals, you should be able to switch to a more liberal low carb diet, also known as a “maintenance” phase.

This higher amount of daily carbs won’t necessarily be enough to keep you in ketosis or cause weight loss. However, if you monitor carb intake, you should still be able to keep off the weight that you already lost.

Total Carbs vs. Net Carbs

Now here’s where it gets a little confusing…

When reading about keto or browsing keto recipes, you may see things noted as “net carbs” or “total carbs.”

Total carbs are the amount of carbohydrates in a food. Period.

If you see “Carbohydrates” listed on a nutrition label, this means total carbs.

Net carbs are total carbs minus the amount of fiber and/or sugar alcohols. Because fiber and sugar alcohols are thought to have a nominal effect on blood sugar, some interpretations of keto diets or low carb diets allow you to discount them.

Total carbs – fiber – sugar alcohol = net carbs.

Because there is no legal definition of “net carbs,” use discretion if you decide to go that route. This is not a term recognized by the FDA, and there is no way to be sure that this information is accurate if listed on a nutrition label.

Personally, I avoid sugar alcohols as much as possible anyway because they often come with uncomfortable digestive side effects. Use at your own risk.

However, I do note both total carbs and net carbs on all the recipes on this site.

How Many Carbs Can You Eat on Keto

Strict interpretations of keto usually set a limit of 20 grams carbs per day.

However, most research shows that a ketosis can be achieved and/or maintained within the range of 20-60 grams of carbs per day.

Different bodies responds differently to carbs, so what works for someone else might not work for you. It may take a little experimentation to find your “sweet spot” with carb intake.

How Do I Know if I’m in Ketosis?

You’ve cut back on carbs, but is it enough? Here are a few ways to tell:

1. Urine Test Strips – It may sound a little yucky, but if you want to know for sure, a test strip is a surefire way to tell if you’ve reached ketosis. This type of test kit is easier than a blood test and more accurate than a breath test. Click here to purchase ketosis test strips on Amazon.
2. Bad Breath – If you think your breath smells like nail polish remover, you probably aren’t imagining it! That’s because when your body breaks down ketones, they release a byproduct: acetone. Yep, the same stuff that’s in nail polish remover.
3. The “Keto Flu” – As your body adjusts to a drastic decrease in carbohydrate consumption, you may experience symptoms similar to the flu, hence the name “Keto Flu.” Symptoms include: headache, dizziness, changes in bowel movements, irritability, nausea, sugar cravings…just to name a few. Not everyone experiences these symptoms and they usually only last for a few days. If you do experience flu-like symptoms that last for longer than a few days or symptoms more extreme than the ones listed here, consult your doctor immediately. Click here to learn more about the keto flu.
4. Increased Urination – In ketosis, your body uses up its stores of glycogen, which is a simple sugar and a reserve energy source. Since glycogen is up to 75% water, when your body burns glycogen, it sheds the excess water through urine. Be sure to drink plenty of water to stay adequately hydrated!
5. Weight Loss – Whoohoo!

A Note About Protein…

Protein is an essential nutrient for a healthy body.

However, there is a bit of controversy about “too much” protein interfering with ketosis. Some dieters will monitor their protein intake in addition to carbohydrates.

If you’re eating a keto diet, you should be getting plenty of protein already through food alone. I generally leave it at that.

If you’re eating meals with plenty of good fats, low carb vegetables, and protein, you should be just fine.

6 Ketogenic Diet Mistakes To Avoid As A Beginner

Thinking of starting a ketogenic diet? This high-fat, low-carb diet is all the rage, and Instagram is brimming with success stories about “going keto.”

So, what is “keto”exactly?

The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that seems to grow more popular by the day.

Studies have shown that it aids in weight loss, while suppressing your appetite and lowering your cholesterol.

Even celebrities have jumped on the keto bandwagon. From Kelly Ripa to Kourtney Kardashian, Hollywood stars gush about its body-transforming effects. Halle Berry is also a keto enthusiast, and she says the secret is training your body to burn fat by not feeding it any sugar.

Many people do see success in just a short period of time (like in the “28-Day Keto Challenge“), but without a road map it can be difficult navigating the challenges that the keto diet presents. Learn more about the challenge here.

Though this diet plan seems new, it’s been around for nearly 100 years. It started as a natural way to treat epilepsy but fell out of favor soon after its discovery. According to Alix Turoff, R.D., new anti-seizure drugs were an easier and more effective way to treat the condition.

This diet also has similarities to the Atkins craze that peaked in popularity in the early 2000s. To follow the Atkins Diet, you could eat all the fat and protein you wanted as long as you severely limited your carbohydrates. There was no calorie restriction, and the diet became a mockery of health, with people eating entire sticks of butter and pounds of bacon.

The ketogenic diet is distinct from the Atkins Diet in that it does entail counting calories, and it advocates for eating real food, not processed food. Still, the rules are strict, and it’s easy to “fall out of ketosis” if you’re not following the principles to the letter.

If you’ve been looking for a way to burn fat, get ripped, or regulate your hormones, you’ve probably heard that the keto diet can help. We’ll discuss the top six mistakes people make when they’re starting the ketogenic diet and give you tips to overcome them.

Avoid these common keto mistakes to make your transition as smooth as possible.

Pro Tip: Exercise is a vital component of any fitness or weight loss plan. Not sure what workouts you should be doing? Try the Aaptiv app and get personalized recommendations and fun exercises that you can do anywhere. No gym required.

The intention of the keto diet is to force the body to run on fat, as opposed to glycogen (sourced from carbs). When the body reaches this stage, it’s called ketosis. As a result, you need to be eating a significant amount of fat.

If you’re not used to eating a lot of fat, you may find it difficult to hit your required amount. The first 30 days are critical and this step-by-step 28-day keto plan was designed for you to lose weight.

Chances are, you could actually be underestimating how much fat you’re consuming as well. The exact macronutrient ratio will differ from person to person.

However, general guidelines stipulate 60–75 percent of your food should be from fat, 15–30 percent from protein, and five to ten percent from carbohydrates. To work out your personalized split, try using an online calculator.

It’s a good idea to plan your meals and moderate your fat intake until you can estimate the number of fats in your meals by eyeballing portions.

As you adjust your diet, it’s a good idea to measure your ketones to ensure you’re entering ketosis. Ketosis is a delicate balance, and you can throw yourself out of it unknowingly. If you “fall out of ketosis,” you could sabotage your entire diet without even knowing it.

Dr. Nick Sudano says that people come to his office daily complaining that “keto doesn’t work” for them. The first question he asks them is whether they measure their ketones, and the answer is almost always no.

To know if you’re in ketosis, you must measure your ketones. If you’re not, then you’re just guessing. There are three ways to measure your ketones:

1. Urine tests measure acetoacetate. This test will tell how you many ketones are being passed into your urine, so it’s useful as you’re starting keto. However, after a couple of weeks, you stop excreting acetoacetate, so you’ll need another method to ensure you’re still in ketosis.
2. Breath tests measure acetone. This is often referred to as the “sweetness” that’s on your breath. While this test is quick and doesn’t require you pee on a strip, it’s hard to get consistent results.
3. Blood tests are the most accurate way to test if you’re in ketosis. You can do these tests at home by pricking your finger and using the appropriate device.

One of the common keto diet mistakes that people make is eating too much saturated and trans fats. Yes, the keto diet is a high-fat diet, but there is still a difference between the types of fats that you should eat.

Healthy fats are the ones that should make the up the most of your fat intake.

The American Heart Association recommends that you limit your saturated fat intake. Too much saturated fat can increase your “bad” cholesterol, and, therefore, your risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

While it is impossible to completely eliminate saturated fat from your diet, don’t let it make up the majority of your diet.

On the other hand, healthy fats, which are monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fats, are the ones that raise your “good” cholesterol. So, stock up on your nuts, avocado, and fatty fish intake. Your body will thank you for it.

We’ve been trained to be afraid of fat, but that doesn’t need to be the case, especially on the keto diet. Again, the key is consuming the right types of fats.

According to doctors and nutritionists, including Kelly Kennedy, RD, some of the best fat sources you should be consuming on this diet include:

• Wild-caught salmon
• Olives
• Avocados
• Nuts
• Olive oil
• MCT oil
• Coconut butter
• Grass-fed beef tallow oil
• Ghee

The fats that you should avoid at all costs are:

• Vegetable and canola Oils — They are high in omega-6 fats, and they oxidize and become rancid. These oils also contain trans fats, which raise your “bad” LDL cholesterol and increase your risk of coronary artery disease. Foods containing trans fats include many processed foods.
• Dairy — This food group is thought to cause inflammation, acne, allergies, skin conditions like eczema, congestion, asthma, sinusitis, IBS, constipation, and weight gain. Mark Hyman, M.D., warns that dairy is only a suitable item to consume if you’re a calf.

Not surprisingly, there’s disagreement in the medical and nutritional community about the ratio of fat to protein you should be consuming. Most of what you’ll read online advocates for more fat than protein, but some of the more reputable sources say the opposite is true.

Some sources recommend that 60% to 80% of your calories come from fat, and others say those percentages should be allocated to protein instead. We turned to Harvard Health for a definitive answer, and what we gathered is that consuming healthy, whole foods is the way to go.

If you are going to consume the majority of your calories from fats and proteins, make sure they are unprocessed and “clean.” By clean, we mean eating meats that are grass-fed and pasture-raised, avoiding dairy, and staying away from processed junk foods.

It’s also probable that individuals respond differently to these ratios, and you might need to experiment to see what works for you. How do you discover this? By testing your ketones (see the next mistake below).

Too many people focus on restricting carb intake to the point where they don’t eat their vegetables. Don’t do this. Vegetables are critical to your health, even if you’re on the keto diet.

They also contain micronutrients and fiber, so you don’t want to miss out on them. Make sure that you’re eating your veggies, especially the non-starchy kinds. Cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms are great options.

Fruit also becomes the enemy for people following a low-carb diet. But, just like with vegetables, they are an important factor in your health. While some fruits are higher in carbs, there are also alternatives, such as berries, that are delicious and are low in carbs.

Eating your servings of whole foods, such as fruit and vegetables, is important. Don’t just rely on products that are marketed as “keto-friendly,” because chances are, they are also processed.

While it is okay to indulge a little, you want to make sure that you’re eating as much whole food as possible. That includes your fruits and veggies.

Dr. Anthony Gustin, Co-Founder of Perfect Keto, says, “I would ten times out of ten rather have you eating a diet composed of 90 percent real food carbs and not have a single ketone in your body than eating a heap of processed junk.”

He emphasizes food quality. Whatever food plan or diet you choose to follow, this is an important factor.

To ensure you’re keeping your carbohydrate consumption in check, we recommend tracking them, almost to the point of compulsion. Too many carbohydrates on the ketogenic diet are a big no-no. If you overindulge, you’ll be “kicked out of ketosis,” says WBFF Pro, Daniel Ventura. This pitfall is one of the hardest to avoid because carbs are in just about everything.

Before consuming anything, check labels for the number of carbs. If you’re eating unprocessed foods, which is what we recommend, use an online food calculator like this one from WebMD. Use their search function and find out the calorie and carbohydrate content of any food imaginable, from fruits and vegetables to French Fries at McDonald’s.

As a general rule, your net carbohydrate intake should be limited to 30 grams per day. Notice we said net and not total. This is important because you only need to calculate the number of carbs absorbed by your body. Healthline has a handy formula for this calculation:

Carbs -Fiber = Net Carbs

Let’s say we’re trying to figure out how many net carbohydrates a serving of blueberries has. One serving has 11 grams of total carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, so one serving of blueberries has 9 net carbs. Knowing that you can only consume 30 grams, you’ll want to budget wisely.

The keto diet typically stipulates moderate protein. Another one of the common keto diet mistakes people make is consuming too much protein.

This hinders the ability to enter a state of ketosis because excess protein will be converted to glucose by the body, which you don’t want on a keto diet.

Additionally, in general, consuming too much protein may cause kidney issues so make sure you have a good kidney support.

Though a high-protein intake doesn’t cause kidney issues in those with normally-functioning kidneys, studies have found it may exacerbate kidney issues in people who already suffer from mild kidney abnormalities.

Like with your fat intake, monitor your protein intake to make sure that you’re eating the right amount of protein for you. You don’t want to go to all this work to limit carbs and increase fat, only to derail your progress because of your protein intake.

The right fat-to-protein ratio can be controversial, and it’s hotly debated among nutritionists. The controversy stems from a process called gluconeogenesis (GNG). This process happens when the body creates its own glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.

Many nutritionists believe that if you eat too much protein, it results in gluconeogenesis and your blood sugar spikes. While this is true, what’s important to note is that in the absence of carbs, both protein and fat intake can cause GNG.

First, let’s get a grip on what gluconeogenesis is. Dr. Anthony Gustin, DC, defines it as a metabolic pathway that allows your body to make glucose, even the absence of carbohydrate consumption.

The word sounds like a mouthful, but it’s a combination of three concepts. Once you understand the origin of the word, it’ll roll off your tongue, so let’s break it down:

• gluco-: glucose
• –neo-: new
• –genesis: origin or creation

The rationale that’s caused this “fear” of gluconeogenesis is that when you’re in ketosis, your body should be running on ketones, not glucose. While that’s true up to a point, you do need some glucose to perform vital functions in your body.

Here’s where it gets interesting. On a ketogenic diet, you’re not eating sugar, and your carbs are extremely limited. Therefore, your body doesn’t have a ready source of glucose at its disposal. When this happens, your liver and kidneys will convert the fat and protein in your system to make glucose for energy.

So, you don’t need to be afraid of fat or protein on the diet, but it’s smart to maintain the nutritionist-recommended balance with a higher concentration of your calories coming from fat.

People tend to load up on protein over fat because it’s more filling. Plus, it can be lower in calories. But remember, counting calories isn’t the goal of the ketogenic diet. The goal is to enter ketosis, and to do that, you need to up your fat intake while drastically reducing the number of carbs you eat.

Many people what to know how much fat on keto they should consume. Remember, the goal is to use your existing stores of fat to lose excess weight, so you shouldn’t be afraid of either fat or protein on this diet.

As we stated earlier, 60–75 percent of your food should be from fat, 15–30 percent from protein, and five to ten percent from carbohydrates. You can use a food calculator to plan your meals using this framework as a guideline:

1. Plan your fat consumption first to make sure you’re getting the proper ratio.
2. Decide how you’re going to allocate the limited amount of carbohydrates you’re allowed to eat.
3. For the calories that are still left over, fill them in with protein.

Before dismissing protein altogether, it’s important to note that protein also has a thermic effect on your system — it takes energy for your body to convert that food source to fuel. To put it into perspective, a 100-calorie serving of protein takes 25 calories to convert to energy in your body. By contrast, 100 calories of fat require only about two calories before it’s ready for you to use.

If you’ve hit a plateau on keto or you’re not losing weight at all, take another look at your balance of fat and protein consumption. You may need to rebalance your fat and protein levels.

If you limit your protein intake too drastically, especially if you’re a woman, you could encounter the following:

• Stalled weight loss
• Thyroid problems
• Hormonal imbalances
• Hair loss

Again, the amount of protein each person needs will vary, but you may need more if you’re an athlete trying to build or maintain muscle, Dr. Gustin warns.

When done correctly, the ketogenic diet can have astonishing effects on your health and weight. Don’t forget to stay active with Aaptiv app. From strength training workouts to warm-up and cool-down stretches, there’s something for everyone.

Due to the restriction of carbs, you lose a lot of water in the body. So, make sure that you drink more water to prevent dehydration.

A common side effect of the ketogenic diet is constipation, but it is preventable. Dr. Sudano says that for every gram of carbohydrates you consume, your body holds four grams of water. Overall, this effect can be a good thing because your body is going to shed excess water weight. The problem occurs when you lose water that your body needs for vital functions like digestion.

Make sure to up your water intake if you’re feeling stopped up. Start by drinking 64 ounces of water a day, and then increase it if you’re still not regular after a few days.

Keep your water bottle on you at all times, as it’s easy to get sidetracked and forget to drink. Don’t let your thirst be the only indicator to have some water. If you’re thirsty, it means that you’re already getting dehydrated, and we want to avoid going down this path.

If your urine is on the yellow side, then drink up! It means that you are not drinking enough water. You want it to be light or pale yellow.

Unfortunately, on a keto diet, you can’t really have a cheat meal like you may be able to do on other diets.

This is because a cheat meal will typically be high in carbs. This will take you out of ketosis and then you will have to start all over again to get your body back into it.

However, it is impossible to completely ignore your cravings. This will make you most likely to binge. So if you do want to have a cheat meal, be smart about it.

You can try having low-carb versions of your favorite meal, such as cauliflower crust pizza. Or, if you want to order it from your local pizza store, choose thin crust over thick or deep pan. This way, you can indulge, while still staying as low-carb as possible.

If you do cheat, keep in mind that just a single transgression is likely to throw you out of ketosis, and you’ll have to begin the process again. It can take a minimum of two to four days to get back on track (make sure you test your ketones), so ask yourself if the pizza is worth it before you indulge.

For different ideas, try looking online for some keto recipes. You’d be surprised which foods have keto-friendly recipe adaptations. There’s even a way to make Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups compliant with keto!

If you’re up for a challenge, see how much weight you can lose on the “28-Day Keto Challenge“.

Another way to have a cheat meal on the ketogenic diet is to actually make the meal is worthwhile. Don’t just mindlessly snack, but really just eat something that you’re craving and enjoy every bite of it.

Then, you can get back to your keto diet stronger than ever.

While it’s true that the keto diet involves eating lots of protein and fat with very limited carbohydrates, it doesn’t mean you can eat in infinite quantities. Like any diet, its success depends on you achieving a calorie deficit. At the end of the day, you must burn more calories than you consume if you want to lose weight.

According to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, achieving a daily calorie deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories per day is the ideal amount for achieving safe and healthy weight loss of one to two pounds per week.

To help you achieve a calorie deficit, make sure you get plenty of exercise. The Aaptiv app has hundreds of workouts to choose from, and more are added frequently, so you’ll never get bored. It’s like having a personal trainer right on your phone!

How Many Carbs per Day on a Low-Carb Ketogenic Diet?

How Many Carbs per Day to Stay in Ketosis?

As described in my post How Does the Ketogenic Diet Work? Weight Loss and 3 Main Effects of Ketosis, weight loss on a ketogenic diet is achieved by limiting the daily intake of net carbs and getting your body in a metabolic state known as ketosis.

While in ketosis, your body effectively uses fat for fuel. In general, the daily intake of net carbs required to enter ketosis could vary from 20 to 100 grams per day. Most people, who have experienced ketosis, claim to have reached that state at about 20-50 grams of net carbs per day. I’d suggest you start at 20-30 grams and see how you can adjust it for your needs.

There are two ways to find your ideal net carbs intake:

Low To High Method

Start from a low level of net carbs to ensure you quickly enter ketosis (~ 20 grams of net carbs per day). When you detect ketosis after about 2-3 days, start adding net carbs (about 5 grams each week) until you detect a very low-level or no ketones (using Ketostix or blood ketone meter).

This is usually the most reliable and quickest way to discover your net carbs limit. It could be a bit hard the first couple of days, as you have to give up almost all carbs from one day to another but it will be worth it. This method is highly recommended.

High To Low Method

Assuming you’re not in ketosis, start from a relatively high level of net carbs (~ 50 grams) and keep reducing (about 5 grams each week) until you detect presence of ketones. This is a less difficult approach but not recommended, as you may spend a long time out of ketosis before you find your net carbs limit.

If you can’t see any ketones, be patient. It typically takes 2-3 days for your body to deplete glycogen stores, so don’t expect to be in ketosis after just a day of low-carb. Remember, ketosis is a favourable condition and an indication that your body uses fat for fuel but you can lose weight even without being in ketosis. A diet high in fat, adequate in protein and low in carbohydrates is naturally sating, making you less hungry and, therefore, helps you lose weight.

Why You Should Think Twice Before Going “Zero-carb”

There is no need to go “zero-carb” unless you are doing a Restricted Ketogenic Diet for therapeutic reasons. Most people experience all the great fat loss and health benefits of the Ketogenic diet at 20-30 grams of net carbs (or up to 50 grams of total carbs) per day.

Remember, more ketones won’t help you lose more weight. You simply need to find your optimal carbs level to sate your appetite and feel good.

How About Thyroid Issues on a Low-carb Diet?

It’s a common myth that low-carb diets cause hypothyroidism. There is no such evidence. Low-carb diets may cause decreased hormone levels but this is not always indicative of a thyroid disease. Instead, calorie restriction is more likely what leads to thyroid issues, especially if it’s over a long period of time.

As someone who has hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s), I can confirm that a low-carb, whole foods based diet has not made my condition worse. In fact, it had the opposite effect and my thyroid function has improved. Although I still have to take levothyroxine, I feel better and my antibody values went down. I’m not saying that LCHF eating can reverse hypothyroidism but I’m willing to try and see if it improves my condition even further.

No diet plan fits all and not everybody can follow a very low-carb diet. Even Dr Volek and Dr Phinney noted that there is not enough evidence that a very low-carb diet (such as less than 20 g net carbs) is beneficial for those with preexisting thyroid or adrenal conditions. Dr. Broda Barnes, who spent over 50 years on thyroid research, suggested in his book “Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness”, that the minimum amount of carbohydrate intake for patients with hypothyroidism should be at least 30 grams of net carbs.

I personally don’t follow a very low-carb diet because I have such a preexisting condition which may have been caused by my calorie-restricting dieting many years ago. My “ideal” level is somewhere around 30 grams of net carbs (light ketosis). By “ideal” I mean a level at which I feel great and maintain a healthy weight. I sometimes eat less carbs out of habit, not because I force myself to follow a very low-carb diet. Following a very low-carb diet (less than 20 grams of total carbs) doesn’t help in my case: it made no difference to my appetite or energy levels but I felt worse. You simply need to try it yourself and find your “ideal” carb intake.

As I mentioned in many of my previous posts, you don’t necessarily need to be in ketosis to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. The main reason people lose weight on a low-carb diet is its natural appetite control.

Are Sweet Potatoes Keto, Low Carb Diet-Friendly?

Yes, people are still intrigued by the restrictive keto diet. Often praised by celebrities (hi, Halle Berry), it consists of breaking down your carbs and protein intake. Typically, a keto diet calls for 70 to 80 percent your daily calories to come from fat, 10 to 20 percent to come from protein, and 5 to 10 percent from carbohydrates, says Los Angeles-based nutritionist Mona Sharma. The goal of eating so few carbs is to get your body into ketosis, the state in which it burns fat, instead of carbs, as fuel.

“It’s an extreme diet, and it’s one that women should not consider for the long-term,” explains Erica Zellner, MS, LDN, a health coach at Parsley Health in California. “You’re going to be at an increased risk of developing kidney stones or harming the kidneys overall, throwing off your electrolyte balance, increased urination, cardiac arrythmia, nutrient deficiencies, and more,” Zellner says. These are serious risks to consider before committing.

In addition to this, because eating “too many” carbs can shift a body out of ketosis, a lot of people following keto diet will cut out fruits and vegetables altogether. However, it’s not a good idea. “I advise clients to eat an abundance of nutrient-dense, colorful, whole foods like vegetables and fruits in moderation daily. Lack of fiber from a variety of fruits and vegetables is detrimental to our gut microbiome,” Sharma says. (Yes, keto constipation is real.)

Essentially, your body legit needs fruits, vegetables, and other carbs in order to get the vital fiber and nutrients you need to survive. If you’re still dedicated to doing keto despite the bodily risks, though, you should know what kinds of food are best to include to ensure you don’t develop nutrient deficiencies. For carbs, foods like squashes and sweet potatoes are a solid option that can provide a lot of nutritional value. Specifically, here’s what you need to know about eating sweet potatoes while participating in keto, according to experts.

So, are sweet potatoes actually keto-friendly?

Well, technically, no. “On a standard keto diet, sweet potatoes are considered too high in carbohydrates, and are excluded because they make it difficult to remain in ketosis,” says Sharma. On average, a medium sweet potato has 27 grams of carbs, which would make up over half your allotted daily carbs on a traditional keto diet.

The thing is, there are different types of keto diets, and some of them may allow more carbs than others. For instance, the cyclic keto diet allows for one to two days a week of higher carb days—about 140 to 160 grams per day. This type of keto diet does take you out of ketosis temporarily, but it’s often followed by athletes who need a higher-carb day after intense activity in order to properly replenish their energy stores.

Another carb-friendly version of the keto diet is the targeted keto diet, where dieters consume 20 to 50 grams of carbs around 30 minutes before working out, with the assumption that even though this may put them out of ketosis temporarily, the additional carbs are burned off immediately and won’t get stored as body fat.

How Carbs Impact Ketosis

Here’s the thing: “To start ketosis, we need to be consuming a really low amount of carbohydrates because our body prefers them as an energy source over fat,” Zellner explains. “It takes a few days before your body depletes your carbohydrate reserves and enters the metabolic state of burning fat for fuel,” Zellner says. Even a small amount of excess carbs will kick you out of ketosis because your body wants to burn carbs for fuel, first, since it’s an easier source for your body to process and use, she notes.

That’s why if you’re trying one of the more carb-friendly keto diets, you can easily incorporate more starches like sweet potatoes into your daily routine. If not, it’ll be a little trickier to enjoy sweet potatoes while still remaining in your ketosis state.

Wait, what about other types of potatoes and the keto diet?

The biggest difference between sweet potatoes and a typical white potato is the amount of fiber it contains, Zellner says. Similar to a sweet potato, one cup of diced white potato contains around 26 grams of carbohydrates. Unlike sweet potatoes, though, a diced white potato has only around two grams of fiber (which isn’t much!).

“But to balance that out, one thing that’s beneficial is in that same cup of white potatoes, you get 316 grams of potassium, which is one of the electrolytes that can be easily depleted on a ketogenic diet,” Zellner says. In short, other types of potatoes have a similar nutritional profile, just with less fiber and more potassium. Since there are benefits to eating potatoes, whether or not you want to make that work with your carb intake on your preferred keto method is up to you.

How can I eat sweet potatoes on a standard keto diet?

A lot of people on the keto diet don’t just keep track of their overall carb consumption, but also the amount of net carbs they’re consuming. The concept of net carbs was popularized by the Atkins diet; they’re the amount of carbohydrates leftover in a food once you subtract the fiber and sugar alcohol from the total carb count. Essentially, the theory is that since your body can’t digest most of the fiber and sugar alcohols, they don’t need to be counted.

On average, a medium sweet potato has 27 grams of carbs, which would make up over half your allotted daily carbs on a traditional keto diet.

Tracking net carbs instead of total carbs makes it a little easier to fit sweet potatoes into your 40 grams of allotted daily carbs on the keto diet. For a basic medium-sized sweet potato, you’d remove the fiber content (3.8 grams) to get an average of 24 net carbs.

It’s also important to note that you don’t have to eat the entire sweet potato if you want to keep your carb count low. Just cut the portions. “Consider adding in sweet potatoes or your favorite vegetables according to the net carbs appropriate for your activity levels,” says Sharma. Basically, if you’re working out a ton or at a super high intensity, you can easily have more carbs and burn them off without totally throwing off your keto diet.

What’s the most keto-friendly way to prepare sweet potatoes?

“Essentially, anything made with sugar isn’t sustainable on the keto diet, since sugar is a carb,” says Sharma. However, you can definitely add some yummy savory options, like cheese, sour cream, or avocado oil.

“Cooking with a lot of oil helps shift the macros of the dish toward being more fat-dominant,” says certified nutritional consultant Ariane Resnick. “I don’t recommend frying because of that creates unhealthy trans fats.”

Roasting with a hearty amount of an oil that won’t oxidize at high heat—like avocado oil—would be the most keto-friendly approach, Resnick says. “If you want them mashed, adding lots of high-fat dairy like butter, heavy cream, and/or sour cream will also shift the macros to being more fat-heavy.” Okay, yum!

The bottom line: While sweet potatoes aren’t a food to incorporate on a standard keto diet due to their high carb content, preparing them to be more fat-dominant or reducing the amount you consume means you can add them to your diet.

Introduction

Despite continuous advances in the medical world, obesity continues to remain a major worldwide health hazard with adult mortality as high as 2.8 million per year. The majority of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are largely related to obesity which is usually a product of an unhealthy lifestyle and poor dietary habits. Appropriately tailored diet regimens for weight reduction can help manage the obesity epidemic to some extent. One diet regimen that has proven to be very effective for rapid weight loss is a very-low-carbohydrate and high-fat ketogenic diet.[1][2][3]

Function

A ketogenic diet primarily consists of high fats, moderate proteins, and very low carbohydrates. The dietary macronutrients are divided into approximately 55% to 60% fat, 30% to 35% protein, and 5% to 10% carbohydrates. Specifically, in a 2000 kcal per day diet, carbohydrates amount up to 20 to 50 g per day.

History and Origin

Russel Wilder first used the ketogenic diet to treat epilepsy in 1921. He also coined the term “ketogenic diet.” For almost a decade, the ketogenic diet enjoyed a place in the medical world as a therapeutic diet for pediatric epilepsy and was widely used until its popularity ceased with the introduction of antiepileptic agents. The resurgence of the ketogenic diet as a rapid weight loss formula is a relatively new concept the has shown to be quite effective, at least in the short run.

Physiology and Biochemistry

Basically, carbohydrates are the primary source of energy production in body tissues. When the body is deprived of carbohydrates due to reducing intake to less than 50g per day, insulin secretion is significantly reduced and the body enters a catabolic state. Glycogen stores deplete, forcing the body to go through certain metabolic changes. Two metabolic processes come into action when there is low carbohydrate availability in body tissues: gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis.[4][5]

Gluconeogenesis is the endogenous production of glucose in the body, especially in the liver primarily from lactic acid, glycerol, and the amino acids alanine and glutamine. When glucose availability drops further, the endogenous production of glucose is not able to keep up with the needs of the body and ketogenesis begins in order to provide an alternate source of energy in the form of ketone bodies. Ketone bodies replace glucose as a primary source of energy. During ketogenesis due to low blood glucose feedback, the stimulus for insulin secretion is also low, which sharply reduces the stimulus for fat and glucose storage. Other hormonal changes may contribute to the increased breakdown of fats that result in fatty acids. Fatty acids are metabolized to acetoacetate which is later converted to beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetone. These are the basic ketone bodies that accumulate in the body as a ketogenic diet is sustained. This metabolic state is referred to as “nutritional ketosis.” As long as the body is deprived of carbohydrates, the metabolism remains in the ketotic state. The nutritional ketosis state is considered quite safe, as ketone bodies are produced in small concentrations without any alterations in blood pH. It greatly differs from ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition where ketone bodies are produced in extremely larger concentrations, altering blood ph to an acidotic state.

Ketone bodies synthesized in the body can be easily utilized for energy production by the heart, muscle tissue, and kidneys. Ketone bodies also can cross the blood-brain barrier to provide an alternative source of energy to the brain. RBCs and the liver do not utilize ketones due to lack of mitochondria and enzyme diaphorase respectively. Ketone body production depends on several factors such as resting basal metabolic rate (BMR), body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage. Ketone bodies produce more adenosine triphosphate in comparison to glucose, sometimes aptly called a “super fuel.” One hundred grams of acetoacetate generates 9400 grams of ATP, and 100 g of beta-hydroxybutyrate yields 10,500 grams of ATP; whereas, 100 grams of glucose produces only 8,700 grams of ATP. This allows the body to maintain efficient fuel production even during a caloric deficit. Ketone bodies also decrease free radical damage and enhance antioxidant capacity.

Issues of Concern

Adverse Effects

The short-term effects (up to 2 years) of the ketogenic diet are well reported and established. However, the long-term health implications are not well known due to limited literature.[6][7][8]

The most common and relatively minor short-term side effects of the ketogenic diet include a collection of symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, difficulty in exercise tolerance, and constipation, sometimes referred to as keto flu. These symptoms resolve in a few days to few weeks. Ensuring adequate fluid and electrolyte intake can help counter some of these symptoms. Long-term adverse effects include hepatic steatosis, hypoproteinemia, kidney stones, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Cautions and Contraindications

People suffering from diabetes and taking insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents suffer severe hypoglycemia if the medications are not appropriately adjusted before initiating this diet. The ketogenic diet is contraindicated in patients with pancreatitis, liver failure, disorders of fat metabolism, primary carnitine deficiency, carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency, carnitine translocase deficiency, porphyrias, or pyruvate kinase deficiency. People on a ketogenic diet rarely can have a false positive breath alcohol test. Due to ketonemia, acetone in the body can sometimes be reduced to isopropanol by hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase which can give a false positive alcohol breath test result. 

Clinical Significance

The popular belief that high-fat diets cause obesity and several other diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancer has not been observed in recent epidemiological studies. Studies carried out in animals that were fed high-fat diets did not show a specific causal relationship between dietary fat and obesity. On the contrary, very-low-carbohydrate and high-fat diets such as the ketogenic diet have shown to beneficial to weight loss.

Evidence Behind The Ketogenic Diet

In relation to overall caloric intake, carbohydrates comprise around 55% of the typical American diet, ranging from 200 to 350 g/day. The vast potential of refined carbohydrates to cause harmful effects were relatively neglected until recently. A greater intake of sugar-laden food is associated with a 44% increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome and obesity and a 26% increase in the risk of developing diabetes mellitus. In a 2012 study of all cardiometabolic deaths (heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes) in the United States, an estimated 45.4% were associated with suboptimal intakes of 10 dietary factors. The largest estimated mortality was associated with high sodium intake (9.5%), followed by low intake of nuts and seeds (8.5%), high intake of processed meats (8.2%), low intake of omega-3 fats (7.8%), low intake of vegetables 7.6%), low intake of fruits (7.5%), and high intake of artificially sweetened beverages (7.4%). The lowest estimated mortality was associated with low polyunsaturated fats (2.3%) and unprocessed red meats (0.4%). In addition to this direct harm, excess consumption of low-quality carbohydrates may displace and leave no room in the diet for healthier foods like nuts, unprocessed grains, fruits, and vegetables.

A recent systemic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing the long-term effects (greater than 1 year) of dietary interventions on weight loss showed no sound evidence for recommending low-fat diets. In fact, low-carbohydrate diets led to significantly greater weight loss compared to low-fat interventions. It was observed that a carbohydrate-restricted diet is better than a low-fat diet for retaining an individual’s BMR. In other words, the quality of calories consumed may affect the number of calories burned. BMR dropped by more than 400 kcal/day on a low-fat diet when compared to a very low-carb diet.

A well-formulated ketogenic diet, besides limiting carbohydrates, also limits protein intake moderately to less than 1g/lb body weight, unless individuals are performing heavy exercise involving weight training when the protein intake can be increased to 1.5g/lb body weight. This is to prevent the endogenous production of glucose in the body via gluconeogenesis. However, it does not restrict fat or overall daily calories. People on a ketogenic diet initially experience rapid weight loss up to 10 lbs in 2 weeks or less. This diet has a diuretic effect, and some early weight loss is due to water weight loss followed by a fat loss. Interestingly with this diet plan, lean body muscle is largely spared. As a nutritional ketosis state sustains, hunger pangs subside, and an overall reduction in caloric intake helps to further weight loss.

Other Issues

Long-term compliance is low and can be a big issue with a ketogenic diet, but this is the case with any lifestyle change.  Even though the ketogenic diet is significantly superior in the induction of weight loss in otherwise healthy patients with obesity and the induced weight loss is rapid, intense, and sustained until at least 2 years, the understanding of the clinical impacts, safety, tolerability, efficacy, duration of treatment, and prognosis after discontinuation of the diet is challenging and requires further studies to understand the disease-specific mechanisms.

A ketogenic diet may be followed for a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks up to 6 to 12 months. Close monitoring of renal functions while on a ketogenic diet is imperative, and the transition from a ketogenic diet to a standard diet should be gradual and well-controlled.

Enhancing Healthcare Team Outcomes

To counter the obesity epidemic, some healthcare workers do recommend the ketogenic diet. However, the primary care provider, nurse practitioner, dietitian, and internist need to be aware of a few facts.

Overweight individuals with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are likely to see improvements in the clinical markers of disease risk with a well-formulated very-low-carbohydrate diet. Glucose control improves due to less glucose introduction and improved insulin sensitivity. In addition to reducing weight, especially truncal obesity and insulin resistance, low-carb diets also may help improve blood pressure, blood glucose regulation, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol levels. However, LDL cholesterol may increase on this diet.

Also, in various studies, the ketogenic diet has shown promising results in a variety of neurological disorders, like epilepsy, dementia, ALS, traumatic brain injury, acne, cancers, and metabolic disorders.

Due to the complexity of the mechanism and lack of long-term studies, a general recommendation of the ketogenic diet for prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular disease may seem premature but is, however, not farfetched for primary weight loss.

While in the short term the ketogenic diet may help one lose weight, this is not sustained over the long run. In addition, countless studies show that the diet is associated with many complications that often lead to emergency room visits and admissions for dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, and hypoglycemia. [9][10][11]

90,000 keto FAQ: everything you need to know about the ketogenic diet.

Summary of the article:
· The keto diet is a way of eating high in fat and low in carbohydrates. It puts your body into ketosis – a state in which you burn fat for energy instead of carbs.
· The keto diet is safe and effective, but like any diet, there is no one size fits all approach.
· Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions about keto, including tips and resources to improve your well-being.

Eat fat to burn fat and lose weight. It sounds counterintuitive, but this principle is at the heart of the ketogenic diet – a high-fat, low-carb diet followed by celebrities like Halle Berry and elite athletes like LeBron James. If you’re just thinking of starting a keto diet, or if you’ve already been following it for five weeks now, here’s a guide to all the questions about the ketogenic diet, including answers to general questions and tips for achieving better results on keto.

Start of the keto diet.

1. What is the keto diet?

The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that puts your body into ketosis – a state in which you burn fat instead of carbs for energy. Keto has many benefits, including weight loss, increased energy levels and focus, and reduced inflammation.

2. How many carbohydrates can I eat on a keto diet?

To stay in ketosis and reap all the fat burning benefits of the keto diet, you need to limit your carbohydrate intake.The Bulletproof Diet recommends eating less than 50 grams of carbs per day, but all diets are different. Some keto diets advocate limiting 20 grams of carbs per day.
Because the Bulletproof Diet uses some of the keto hacks to maintain ketosis, such as intermittent fasting and MCT oil, you may be eating more carbs than the standard keto diet. But keep in mind that the number may vary depending on your biology, activity level, age, goals and gender.

3. What foods can I eat on a keto diet?

For the best results on keto, stick to these principles:
· Prevailing high quality fats such as vegetable and ghee butter, MCT oil, avocado oil, and virgin coconut oil.
Moderate amounts of fatty proteins such as grass-fed meat and eggs, wild-caught fatty fish, and collagen protein.
· Plenty of high-nutrient, low-carb vegetables such as organic broccoli, zucchini, avocado, cucumber, kale and celery.

4. What is the keto flu?

If a few days after switching to the keto diet, you feel unwell, as if you were sick – welcome to the keto flu. Tip # 1: Drink plenty of water.
Other temporary side effects of the keto diet may include stomach problems such as constipation or diarrhea, and a keto rash. This skin condition, also known as Prurigo pigmentosa, is very rare.

5. How do I know if I am in ketosis?

Going into ketosis can take 2-3 days to several weeks, depending on your body’s ability to adapt to burning fat for fuel.Once you enter ketosis, your body naturally produces ketones – molecules that feed your brain and body with fats, not carbohydrates.
You can know that you are in ketosis if you have stable and long-term high energy levels, improved concentration and decreased appetite. For a definite answer, check the level of ketones in the blood.

6. Do I need to count macronutrients and how to count them?

Macros or macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats and proteins that make up your food and help you generate energy.You don’t have to count macros on a keto diet, but it’s a great way to learn more about your food and understand your body’s needs.

7. What about digestible carbohydrates?

Even if you are not calculating macros, you must keep an eye on digestible carbohydrates – carbohydrates that your body uses to produce energy. Calculating digestible carbohydrates can help you stay in ketosis and make informed food choices.

8. Is the keto diet healthy?

The ketogenic diet is healthy, effective, and scientifically based, with a few caveats that we will encounter in a minute.If you follow the keto diet correctly, it promotes weight loss, creates more mitochondria in the brain, reduces inflammation, and even fights metabolic diseases like diabetes. However, any diet can be good or bad for you, depending on what you put on your plate. If you stick to the Bulletproof Diet meal plan, you will technically eliminate keto foods that make you feel lousy and are not part of a healthy diet.

9.How about dirty keto?

This brings us to the dirty keto diet, which has the same structure as the standard keto diet (high in fat and low in carbohydrates), but allows processed, prepackaged food and fast food. You can still go into ketosis and burn fat on dirty keto, but it has serious drawbacks like inflammation and weight gain.

10. Will keto raise my cholesterol levels?

Eating more saturated fat can increase your “good” HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and sometimes even LDL cholesterol — and contrary to popular belief, this is good if you eat high-quality fats.Are you confused?

11. Does the keto diet cause diabetes?

No, keto does not cause diabetes. Studies have shown that ketosis can even reverse diabetes because it reduces glucose intolerance and stabilizes blood sugar levels.

12. Is the keto diet suitable for long-term use?

Yes and no. Some people successfully follow a complete keto diet without any difficulty. Others face problems associated with long-term carbohydrate restriction, such as insomnia and hormone imbalances.If you encounter this, experiment with the keto-carbohydrate cycle (cyclical ketosis), in which you consume moderate amounts of carbohydrates one day per week so your body can cycle in and out of ketosis. This is an effective modification that helps many to avoid any potential dangers and risks of the keto diet.

13. What types of keto diet are there and how do I know which one is right for me?

If you don’t like full keto, or are struggling with issues such as insomnia and chronic fatigue, experiment with other types of keto.
In cyclical keto, you eat more high-nutrient carbs one day per week to refuel your body’s systems.
On a Targeted (or Tared) Keto Diet, you distribute carbohydrates around your workouts and periods of increased stress for additional nutrition.
Solving problems related to the ketogenic diet

14. How do I know if I need more carbs?

Some people feel good if they consume very few carbohydrates for a long time.But if you’re experiencing symptoms such as dry eyes, insomnia, fatigue, and mood swings, your body may require more carbs, especially if you’re a woman, an athlete, or dealing with stress.

15. Why am I not losing weight on keto?

You may be eating too much, not enough or completely wrong.

16. How does MCT oil work with keto?

MCT oil is powerful in the ketogenic diet as it helps your body produce more ketones and stay in ketosis.Therefore, even if you eat a few more carbs than you should, you will not get out of ketosis. However, not all MCT oils are created equal, and some are more effective than others.

17. Should I take exogenous ketones?

Exogenous ketones are synthetic ketones that help increase the level of ketones in the blood. It’s a popular supplement, but it’s optional: instead focus on getting enough high-quality fat. Your body will naturally produce the ketones it needs for nutrition throughout the day.If you are looking to start taking supplements in your keto diet, it is best to start with MCT oil.

18. Should I try intermittent fasting?

Definitely yes. Cyclic fasting can actually increase the effectiveness of the keto diet by speeding up fat burning and weight loss.

The ketogenic, or keto, diet is a diet that is very low in carbohydrates and high in fat.This forces your body to use fat instead of glucose for fuel.

The ketogenic diet was originally used as a way to reduce seizure activity in people with epilepsy (1).

However, research suggests it may also provide health benefits such as weight loss, lower insulin resistance, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and even improvement in neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (1).

Planning your meals with this diet can be challenging as you must choose foods that are healthy, varied, and in line with your daily goals for fat, protein and carbohydrate intake.

Many dairy products are prohibited because they are too high in carbohydrates. Therefore, one may wonder about cottage cheese.

The Keto Diet and Carbohydrate Requirements

The keto diet forces your body to burn ketones – a byproduct of fat – instead of glucose for fuel.

To get the most out of your diet, you must continue to produce ketones, which is a characteristic of the metabolic state of ketosis. Thus, you should eat mostly fat, moderate amounts of protein, and very few foods that contain carbohydrates.

Eating too many carbohydrates can quickly bring you out of ketosis. Plus, high amounts of protein can lift you out of ketosis as your body can convert protein to glucose (2Trusted).

The standard keto diet typically contains about 80% of calories from fat, 15% from protein, and 5% from carbohydrates (3).

So, if your goal is 2,000 calories a day, you should aim for about 178 grams of fat, 75 grams of protein, and only 25 grams of carbs each day to enter ketosis.

However, if you’ve been in ketosis for a while, you may be able to slightly increase your carbs and still make ketones.The key is to find your carbohydrate limit.

In a study of 50 women on a low-carb keto diet for weight loss, most of the participants were able to increase their carbohydrate intake from 20 to 40-60 grams per day after 2 weeks and still produce ketones (4).

However, the keto diet is still very low in carbohydrates, so it is important to plan your meals and snacks with high fat foods in mind, but no carbohydrates or very low carbohydrates.Foods that are likely to be too high in carbohydrates include:

• all fruits except a small portion of berries
• Starchy and root vegetables such as white or sweet potatoes, carrots and parsnips
• legumes, such as dried beans, peas and lentils
• grains such as oats, wheat, quinoa, farro and rice
• milk and yoghurt
• low-fat foods and desserts

Dairy products with no carbohydrates or very low carbohydrates that are often recommended for the keto diet include full-fat, unprocessed cheeses and heavy cream.

Summary: To stay in ketosis, it is important to eat mostly fat, moderate amounts of protein, and limit your carbohydrate intake to about 20-60 grams per day. Dairy products such as milk and yogurt usually contain too many carbohydrates, but full fat cheeses are allowed.

Cottage cheese and keto

On a ketogenic diet, dairy products like cheese can provide the fat you need, as well as high quality protein, calcium and variety, so it’s nice to have them as an option.

However, the carbohydrate and fat content of cheese may vary, especially among the types of curd. If you’re looking to add cottage cheese to your keto diet, it’s important to check its nutritional label.

Low-fat or low-fat cottage cheese not only contains less fat, but also potentially more carbohydrates than whole milk cottage cheese.

This is because some low fat foods contain fruit and many contain chewing gum thickeners that are used to give low-fat dairy products the same texture and thickness as full-fat foods.However, they also increase the carbohydrate content.

Below is nutritional information for approximately 1/2 cup (100 grams) of a serving of various types of curd: (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

What is the calorie content of cottage cheese? How much fat does cottage cheese contain? How much protein is in cottage cheese?

Any curd is a good source of protein, but because it is not very rich in this nutrient, it should meet your daily protein requirement if you are on a keto diet.

However, if your daily carbohydrate limit is very low, a serving of curd may be a snack if it is low-fat or contains fruit.

Summary: If you’re looking to add curd to your keto diet, it’s important to check the nutritional label and compare brands. Those that are simple and contain 4% fat tend to have the most fat and the least carbohydrates.

How to eat and store keto

The best curd for the keto diet is full-fat cheese that does not contain thickeners or stabilizers such as guar gum or xanthan gum.It should provide only about 3 grams of carbs per 1/2 cup (100 grams) serving.

For a nutritious snack, add chopped fresh herbs and serve with low-carb vegetables such as celery, cucumber strips or broccoli florets.

How to make vegetable sauce? To make a delicious low-carb vegetable sauce, combine cottage cheese with whole roasted red peppers, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a generous pinch of dried basil.

If you want to increase the fat content without affecting the carbohydrates, add a little olive oil or a few tablespoons of chopped olives.

Bottom Line: Plain, fatty curd can be paired with low-carb vegetables for a keto-safe snack. You can also use it to make a delicious, low-carb base.

If you want to lose weight by switching to a healthy and balanced diet instead of a quick weight loss diet, you can buy the diet online at an affordable price (click and start losing weight!)

Short Speaking

Curd may be a keto-friendly protein, but full fat plain curd should ideally be chosen.

For a healthy, low-carb snack, mix with vegetables or use as a base for a sauce.

Given that curd contains some carbohydrates, you can limit the serving size based on your daily carbohydrate intake.

8 Fruits You Can Really Eat On The Keto Diet

You’ve tried the keto diet by size, but all that butter, cheese, and meats can be heavy. Lightening things up with some fruit seems like a solid choice, doesn’t it?

Not So Fast: On this high-fat plan, you only get 5 to 10 percent of your calories from carbs to stay in ketosis (aka, a state in which your body burns fat for energy, not carbs).And-newsflash-fruit is pretty high in carbohydrates (these are all those natural sugars).

Take blueberries, for example: One cup contains about 18 grams of net carbs (that’s total carbs minus fiber), which is almost a whole day of carbs on a keto diet (you should eat less than 20 grams of net carbs per day).

So basically, “you can’t eat most fruits on keto,” says Kristen Mancinelli, author of The Ketogenic Diet: A Scientifically Proven Approach to Fast, Healthy Weight Loss.And PS, high-carb fruits tend to be the tastiest (read: sweetest) like peaches and melons.

But you don’t need to get rid of fruits entirely on a keto diet. Here are a few keto-rich fruits that are taking the carb test.

1. Avocado

Yes, this creamy delight is actually a fruit and it is the goddess of the keto diet. Not only does half an avocado contain a glorious 15 grams of heart-healthy fat, but it has less than two grams of net carbs, according to the USDA’s National Nutritional Database.

They make great additions to cocktails, says Sarah Jadin, RD., Who specializes in keto diets. However, even with an avocado, you have to be mindful of how much you eat in relation to your carb allowance, she notes.

2. Olives

Olives are another fruit that you definitely didn’t count as a fruit, so they fully count.

Ten small olives pack about three grams of fat and about 1.5 grams of net carbs.Bonus: They’re salty, and getting enough sodium is important when you’re on a keto diet, says Jadin.

3. Coconut

Half a cup of minced coconut yields 13 grams of fat and a decent 2.5 grams of net carbs. Sugar is often added to coconut, so make sure you buy unsweetened or buy the whole coconut and scoop out the meat yourself.

4. Blackberries

Blackberries have an impressive amount of fiber – almost two grams per quarter cup.This serving size also contains 1.5 grams of net carbs, so you can definitely add them to your morning yogurt.

5. Raspberries

Stick to a quarter cup of raspberries and you get about 1.5 grams of net carbs, per USDA.

Toss them in a salad, or better yet: whip heavy whipping cream and toss a few berries on top for a keto-good dessert, Jadin recommends.

5. Strawberries

A quarter cup of strawberry halves contains just over two grams of net carbs – or about 10 percent of your daily limit if you’re aiming for 20 grams of net carbs per day.

Nobody asks you to bite into a lemon, although if you do it, you do it, but when you need to dress up unsweetened water or tea, or sour tea, your citrus fruits have a back …

The squeeze from the wedge has less than half a gram of net carbs. This is a negligible amount of carbs, so honestly squeeze as many lemons as you want, says Jadin.

6.Summary

What is the keto diet?

The keto diet or ketogenic diet is a low carbohydrate, high fat diet that helps you lose weight. It is based on the consumption of a specified percentage of macronutrients. This diet consists of fat, moderate protein, and carbohydrates.

High Fat: 70-80%

Moderate Protein: 20-25%

Low Carbohydrates: 5-10%

The main purpose of the keto diet is to get your body to burn fat for fuel, not carbohydrates.Our bodies usually convert carbohydrates in food into glucose, which serves as a source of energy. However, if our diet does not contain enough carbohydrates, the liver can convert fat to fatty acids and ketones. These ketones can replace glucose as an energy source. Increased levels of ketones in the body are known as ketosis.

What’s on the Keto Diet?

• Fish, meat and seafood
• eggs
• Natural fats, high-fat sauces (e.g. butter, coconut oil, olive oil, etc.)
• Vegetables that grow above the ground
• Dairy products with a high fat content (for example: butter, full-fat cheese and yogurt)

Figure 01: The Keto Diet

You should always avoid foods that contain a lot of sugar and starch. This includes starchy foods such as bread, pasta, noodles, rice, and potatoes. You should also try to avoid fruits as they contain carbohydrates. But you can eat berries and nuts while on a keto diet.

What is the Atkins Diet?

The Atkins Diet is a diet pioneered by Robert Atkins. It is also a low-carb diet based on the idea that you can lose weight by eating as much protein and fat as you want if you avoid high-carb foods. This diet has four phases:

Phase 1 This phase includes an extremely low carbohydrate level, preferably 20-25 grams of carbohydrates per day for about 2 weeks.This kick triggers weight loss

Phase 2 This includes moderate carbs (25-50g carbs). You can slowly introduce more low-carb vegetables and small amounts of fruits and nuts into your diet.

Phase 3 This includes 50-80g of carbs per day. This liberal taxi consumption slows down your weight loss when you reach your weight goal.

Phase 4 : This is the maintenance phase. At this point, you can take in as many healthy carbs as your body can handle without gaining weight….

Figure 02: There are no restrictions on protein intake in the Atkins diet

During the first two phases of the diet, you should avoid starchy and sugary foods. But in the last stages, you can go back to eating healthy carbs.

What are the Similarities Between Keto and Atkins?

• Low Carbohydrate, High Fat Keto and Atkins Diet
• The first phase of the Atkins diet is very similar to the keto diet.
• In both diets, you must keep track of the amount of carbohydrates you take daily.

What is the difference between keto and atkins?

The keto diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb diet, while the Atkins diet is a high-protein, high-fat, four-phase diet. The main difference between Keto and Atkins is in limiting protein intake; in the keto diet, you should limit your protein intake to 20-25% of your calories, but the Atkins diet does not.In fact, you can eat as much protein and fat as you want in the Atkins diet if you avoid carbohydrates.

Most importantly, the Atkins diet has four phases, while the Atkins diet has none. In addition, you should always limit your carbohydrate intake when you are on a keto diet. However, in the Atkins diet, carbohydrates are slowly introduced back into the diet as you approach your ideal weight. Therefore, your body is not in ketosis when you are on the Atkins diet.But in a keto diet, your body is always in ketosis.

Basics – Keto vs. Atkins
