How can you accelerate weight loss on the Keto Diet?
Is it possible to lose weight quickly without exercising on the Keto Diet?
It might sound too good to be true, but there’s evidence to support it.
Certain studies suggest that a low-carb Keto Diet could lead to faster weight loss compared to other diet approaches. While I personally may not be a strong advocate of the Keto Diet, I have witnessed successful outcomes with my clients.
The concept is promising. Let’s explore the details of the Keto Diet.
What is the Keto Diet?
The ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate, high-fat, adequate-protein dietary treatment for certain people with epileptic seizures, which don’t respond to certain medications and are hard to control. Weight loss was one of the side effects.
The leading theory is that your body burns fat as the primary energy source rather than glucose and breaks it down into ketones. So, your body burns more body fat to use fat as a primary energy source.
Is it possible for the Keto Diet to accelerate weight loss? What advantages does the Keto Diet offer?
Medical treatment can be fast and effective in the short term for weight loss
Improvements in total cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure.
A person who likes meat a lot would be likely successful in losing weight in the short term.
What are the possible side effects of The Keto Diet?
Limited evidence that healthy people should use it as a long-term diet plan.
Carbs contain vitamins, minerals, and fibre and are an excellent energy source for the body and brain, including fuzzy thinking and mood swings. Unfortunately, you need to eat only 20g to 50g of Carbs, resulting in a deficiency of those nutrients and may be resulted in constipation.
Hard to maintain for the long-term results in yo-yo dieting behaviour
Your liver breaks down so much fat, intaking in lots of saturated fat, which recommends no more than 7% of your daily calories because of linking to your heart, causing heart disease, and your kidney breaks down an overload of protein.
It takes several days to reach ketosis.
So, should you avoid attempting the Keto Diet? In reality, many individuals struggle to maintain their weight loss over the long term. It takes your body time to adjust to your new weight. The most effective approach to weight loss involves gradual progress, aiming for no more than 1 kg per week. Now, let’s delve into the world of the Keto diet.
