The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used mainly to treat hard-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain. this chart is all about keto diet . please comment thank u

INTRODUCTION
2
During the keto diet, the body receives enough calories and the person
does not experience hunger, but excess weight goes away due to the
phenomenon of ketosis, which will be discussed in the article
According to nutritionists, the diet has proven to be effective, and the
result is stable due to the lack of a stressful transition from a hunger
strike to a normal diet. Menus for a week and proposals will help to
properly follow a diet.
What you would like to understand about the keto diet

Keto diet benefits
Initially, the keto diet appeared to treat certain diseases but then found
its place in dietetics.
The principle of the keto diet is as follows: the body uses
carbohydrates as the main “fuel” for the brain. With a sharp reduction
in carbohydrates in the diet below 20 grams per day, the amount of
glucose is critically reduced - and there is not enough energy for
normal functioning and oxidation of fats. To nourish the brain, the body
starts the process of obtaining alternative energy - ketosis. This is the
process of breaking down fat in the body, resulting in the formation of
ketone bodies, which are used as alternative energy.

In the usual state, the concentration of ketone bodies in the blood is
very low, since they are replaced by glucose and the body does not
need additional energy. During ketosis, the concentration of ketone
bodies rises sharply.
The state of ketosis can also be achieved by a complete hunger strike
for several days, but this is an extremely harmful way. Keto diet is an
alternative to a complete hunger strike, allowing you to do less
damage to the body. Together with nutrition, we continue to receive all
the necessary substances and do not experience hunger, excluding
only carbohydrates and forcing the body to start the process of
splitting fats

Cons of Keto Diet
One of the drawbacks of such a diet is a poor understanding of the
process. It is difficult for people to understand how it is possible to eat
and lose weight at the same time, and they are also afraid that the brain
will have nothing to eat without glucose. The ketosis mechanism
described above will help to understand the principle of the keto diet.
The real minus is an unbalanced diet. All carbohydrates are excluded, a
process is artificially launched, which usually takes place not so actively,
the load on the liver increases. It is rather unhealthy. Keto diet is
prohibited for diabetics, pregnant and lactating women, people with
chronic diseases.

With ketosis, the smell of
acetone from the mouth, from
the body and urine is
possible. This is an individual
phenomenon and in some, it
is completely imperceptible.
To minimize odor, you should
drink more than 2 liters of
water per day, so that
acetone is more active.

Weekly Menu for Keto Diet
Carbohydrates are excluded from food completely. And this means
that you can’t do anything sweet, cereals, fruits, pastries, starchy or
sweet vegetables (such as beets, carrots, potatoes). You can only
green vegetables, but even when eaten, the amount of
carbohydrates should not exceed 20-50 grams per day. If you
sometimes break down and eat a little carbohydrate, sharp surges in
blood sugar will continue and there will be no smooth transition of
the body to alternative energy and the start of the ketosis process
since the body will still wait for the usual carbohydrates.

meat, cheese, eggs, fish, oils. It is forbidden to drink a lot of milk
since it contains lactose - milk sugar, fermented milk, on the

Results
The exclusion of carbohydrates from the diet does not allow the body
to use substances as usual: put off fats “in reserve”, and use
carbohydrates as the main energy. Thus, the body switches to using
energy from fats, starting the ketosis process. High-calorie food
saturates and helps to avoid breakdowns. There is no severe hunger,
as there are no sharp jumps in blood sugar.
The main advantage of such a diet is that the weight that has gone
away will not return, because there is no sharp change in nutrition
and artificial reduction in calories. However, due to the large amount
of protein and fat in the diet, a few kilograms per week leave.
