Keto is everywhere: it's the new fad diet favorite of all people looking to lose weight, and the new enemy of the medical industry and of the "fad" diets sold on the market. The ketogenic diet, far from being presented as a miracle solution to all the diseases on the planet, nevertheless appears to be very effective and potentially capable of curing many serious medical conditions. Let's take a look at the scientific facts, separate them from the fiction, and take a look at the benefits of following a keto diet.



Benefit 1: Weight loss
Well, this benefit is hardly surprising, but it is one of the most common reasons people decide to go on a keto diet. So why is it so easy to lose weight on a keto diet unlike most traditional diets? For the following reasons:
• The keto diet is approximately 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% or less carbohydrate. The high fat and low sugar intake means less cravings, less hypoglycaemia and swelling, and a feeling of fullness. Feeling of fullness = eat less. Additionally, many people are grain intolerant, even gluten-free ones; By eliminating them, they increase their ability to absorb minerals like magnesium and potassium, which means your body is better nourished and you have less cravings.

• Ketones. When your blood sugar levels are low, your body turns to its glycogen stores for energy. Typically, glycogen stores about 2000 calories as a "reserve" for energy when glucose is low. Because your body is a very well-made machine, it uses glycogen stores and then turns to the fat stored in your body for energy.

IMPORTANT : The keto diet is not a diet where you can eat all the cheese or low-carb, high-fat snacks you want. If you eat more calories than you burn, you won't lose weight. So instead, try consuming lean grass-fed meats, butter, eggs, avocado, plenty of greens and cruciferous vegetables, and don't overdo keto desserts, dairy, and

Benefit 2: Brain functions

Poor brain function, as you may have experienced before, causes reduced productivity at work, and therefore an unhappy boss, lack of job satisfaction, cravings for sugar to regain energy, and depression. It's a terrible domino effect. The first ketogenic diet was established by Dr. Russell Wilder at the turn of the twentieth century to treat epilepsy. The success rate was phenomenal, and it is still used today to treat epilepsy and other brain disorders. Studies also indicate that ketones are more effective at providing energy to the brain than glucose (Source: https://bit.ly/3xT1noB )
