Are you looking for an effective way to lose weight? If yes, then this book is right for you! The ketogenic diet provides you with a chance to transform your body into a fat-fighting machine while eating foods that you love. The key to following the diet is turning everything you thought you knew about food on its head. For decades we have heard about the evils of fat and why decreasing fat in the diet leads to improved health and a reduction in weight. It turns out, however, that fat, is not the enemy, and in fact, on the ketogenic diet, fat is one of your closest friends. In fact, it is fat that you're going to turn to as your trusted energy source when it comes to meal times, snack time, or anytime. Food provides us with essential energy to keep our bodies functioning. When you take a bite of food your body jumps into action. The carbohydrates in food are converted into glucose which is used as energy. However, when the consumption of carbohydrates is significantly reduced, the body starts to use fat for energy instead. This process is called ketosis. Once your body goes into ketosis, you begin to burn up the stored fats as well as the fats you ingest, and this in turn leads to significant weight loss. The ketogenic diet that we know today was initially developed by Dr. Russel Wilder in the 1920s as a treatment for epilepsy. Further research into the diet also revealed that the ratio of carbs to fats to proteins also produced significant weight loss in patients. The diet was further developed by the creation of a formula that more precisely described the amount of fats to carbohydrates to proteins a patient should consume in order to trigger ketosis. The original formula relies on the consumption of less than 15 g of calories per day from carbohydrates, with the remaining calories coming from fat and to a lesser extent from protein. As an epileptic treatment, the ketogenic diet proved successful. However, it later became better known for a plethora of other health benefits not linked to the initial treatment. In addition to the significant weight loss that occurs as a result of going into a state of ketosis, patients have reported improved memory and alertness as well as better sleep patterns. Additionally, the ketogenic diet has been used as a tool to target fat in the abdomen which is particularly dangerous. Eating the right composition of carbs, proteins, and fats has also been shown to decrease triglycerides in the blood and balance insulin levels. The change in the types of foods consumed ultimately decreases bad fats and increases good, heart-healthy fats in the system.

It is important to note, however, that the diet relies heavily on the right balance of macronutrients, carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Buy this book now and begin your ketogenic lifestyle journey!
