Ketogenic Diet Benefits : Get the Body and Brain You Want Now
Keto
is everywhere; it's the new buzzword, the new favorite among those looking to
shed pounds, and the new hate victim of the
food-pyramid-spouting-eat-your-whole grains mainstream medical industry. The
keto diet, while it is not the magic cure-all for every single disease on the
planet, does a pretty dang good job at being the potential causer of healing many horrible conditions. So let's cut
through the science, separate fact from fiction, and look at the benefits of
the keto diet.
KETO Benefits #1: Weight Loss
Okay,
so this one isn't so astounding, but it is one of the most common reasons
people embark on the keto diet. So why is weight loss usually so easy on the
ketogenic diet instead of other regular diets? For all of the following
reasons:
• The keto diet is composed of approximately 75% fat, 20 % pnished cravings, lack of blood sugar swings and binges, and increased satiation. Increased satiatrotein, and 5% or less carbohydrates. The high fat content and lack of sugar means dimiion=eating less. Many people also have food sensitivities to grains, even gluten-free ones, so eliminating them may lead to an increased ability to absorb minerals like magnesium and potassium, which in turn means your body is more nourished and you have fewer cravings
• Ketones. When your blood sugar is running low, your body turns to its glycogen stores for energy. Typically glycogen stores house about 2000 calories of "backup" energy for when you run out of glucose. Like the intelligent machine it is, your body depletes the glycogen stores and then turns to your own body fat for fuel.
IMPORTANT: The
ketogenic diet is not a free-for-all
eat however much cheese or super low-carb fat bomb treats you want diet. If you
are eating way more calories than you need, you will not lose weight. So focus
on keeping your diet around fatty cuts of grass-fed meat, butter, eggs,
avocados, lots of green veggies and cruciferous, and be modest with the keto
desserts, dairy, and sweets.
Benefit #2: Brain Function
A
poorly functioning brain, as you may have already experienced, leads to
lessened work productivity, which in turn means an unhappy boss, lack of job
satisfaction, sugar cravings for energy, and depression. It's a horrible domino
effect. The original ketogenic diet was formulated by Dr. Russell Wilder in the
early 20th century to treat epilepsy. The success rate was phenomenal and it is
still used today to treat epilepsy and other brain disorders. Research also
indicates that ketones are more efficient brain fuel than glucose. (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5102124/)
