Let’s talk about the one diet everyone’s obsessed with. The keto diet involving Ketosis is a phenomenon or a natural process which helps your body sustain healthily, even when you don’t consume a lot of carbs. The diet leads to the production of ketones which are basically broken down liver fat. Mindless dieting is almost never the answer. Keto doesn’t make you starve, it just takes the unhealthy carbohydrates out of the equation so you can have a better, balanced lifestyle.
Not only does keto help you get back into shape but it normalises your hunger, controls your blood pressure, increases energy, keeps your cholesterol in check and also takes care of your mental health. But you cannot just randomly start on the diet before knowing enough about it. Here’s what you need to know about Keto.

Being on a keto diet is an all-new lifestyle choice altogether. That’s mainly because it takes away your chance to oscillate between numerous diets or platters and will keep you on one path. It essentially involves a way of eating and consuming protein and ditching carbs. You cannot just do it for a week or two. For successful results you have to stick to it and only eat very restrictively.

It is true that a keto diet, especially if you’ve been on it long enough, can affect or change your metabolism process. But that’s for the good of your system. By eliminating carbs totally the diet trains your body to create energy not from carbs but from proteins. Quite often a person gains weight during the first few weeks of the diet, but that is normal as it gets more consistent over time.

Keto requires your full commitment and you probably need to create a calendar for that. Keep in mind that the more time you can spare to commit to the diet the faster the diet works. It is essentially an expansive diet which is why it affects other aspects of your life. Also remember that don’t go for fast and random weight loss if you’re on a keto diet, that is never healthy. Aim for a steady and consistent weight loss experience which will set up a pace for your body. But never strive for a dramatic commercial-style weight loss.

Keto diets can be modified to allow changes and making them more acceptable to different individuals. Keto diets are not very rigid, in the sense that you can replace some big elements as long as you don’t mess with the structure of the diet. The carb intake can vary depending on your needs and remember there’s no one amount which will make the diet work better. Every person has different needs, depending in their age, profession and physicality. But your trainer or your dietician will tell you that your diet may be tailor-made for you, in a customised way.
