The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet. It puts your body in a metabolic state called ketosis where the body uses fat as a primary fuel source (instead of carbohydrates). 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. Ketogenic diets can cause massive reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has numerous health benefits. What are the key benefits of Keto? yy Significant Weight Loss Reduction in Appetite BB More Balanced Blood Sugar Levels Higher Energy and Focus bodyboss How do you get to Ketosis? The state of ketosis is achieved through drastic reduction of your carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. When you're eating strictly keto-friendly foods, your body can enter a state of ketosis in one to three days. Base the majority of your diet on foods such as meat, fish, eggs, butter, nuts, healthy oils, avocados and plenty of low-carb veggies. Avoid carb-based foods like grains, sugars, legumes, rice, potatoes, candy, juice and even most fruits Great snacks for a keto diet include pieces of meat, cheese, olives, boiled eggs, nuts and dark chocolate, The Keto Food Pyramid @ Baw BBO mm OS bodyboss 5 What to Expect Weight Loss and Suppressed Appetite A ketogenic diet is an effective way to lose weight and lower risk factors for disease. In many cases the diet is so filling and appetite suppressing that you can lose weight even without counting calories or tracking your food intake. Keto Flu While your body adapts to the ketogenic diet, you may experience a bunch of symptoms often referred to as the keto flu. It is usually over within a few days. Keto flu includes poor energy and mental function, increased hunger, sleep issues, nausea, digestive discomfort and decreased exercise performance. Increased Focus & Energy When you get into ketosis, a large part of the brain starts burning ketones instead of glucose. Ketones are an extremely potent fuel source for your brain and therefore, long-term ketogenic dieters often report increased clarity and improved brain function. Digestive Issues You might experience digestive issues, such as constipation or diarrhea, when you first switch to a ketogenic diet. Try to be mindful of different foods that may be causing digestive issues. Also, make sure to eat plenty of healthy low-carb veggies, which are low in carbs but still contain plenty of fiber. bodyboss 6 Tips for Success Coconut Oil Eating coconut oil can help you get into ketosis as coconut oil contains fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTS) VY Exercise Being more active can help you get into ketosis Intermittent Fasting Another way to get into ketosis is to go without eating for several hours. In fact, many people go into mild ketosis between dinner and breakfast. Some Risks You Should Know If you have type 2 diabetes, talk to your doctor before attempting a ketogenic diet. They may recommend a different weight-loss diet for you, like a reduced-calorie diet. Those with epilepsy should also consult their doctor before using this as part of their treatment plan. No carbs... ever? It is important to significantly reduce your carb intake initially. After the first 2-3 months, you can eat carbs on special occasions — just return to the diet immediately after. Protein Intake Protein should be moderate, as a very high intake can spike insulin levels and lower ketones. Around 35% of total calorie intake is probably the upper limit. bodyboss 7 bodyboss Ketogenic Food Cheat Sheet &X Big No No’s! * Sugary Grains or Fruit Beans or Root Veg Foods Starches Legumes orTubers Sod, smoothies, Wheat-based —‘Mlfruh 20 gas kidney Potatoes, sweet fruit juice, cakes, products, rice, of be ‘os like beans, lentils potatoes, carrots, icecream, ele. pasto,cereal etc, °F PerTeslike — ickbeas ele." parsnip, el Low-Fat or , Unhealthy Sugar-Free Diet Products Condiments Fats alcohol Diet Foods These are These often Limit your intake Alcohol can throw Often high in highly processed containhigh of processed yououtofkefosi, sugar alcohols, andare offen high omounis of sugar vegetable ail, ‘due fohigh carb’ which can affect incarbs.andunhealthy fat. mayonnaise, etc. content atone lovels v Yes Yes Yes! “ Fatty Meat Full-Fat Nutsand Hard-Boiled 90% Dark or Fish Cheeses Seeds Eggs Chocolate Low-Carb Full-Fat Strawberries Celery with Milkshakes* Yogurt** withCream Salsa & Guac * Low-Carb Milkshake with almend milk, cocoa powder and nut butter ‘at Yogurt with nut butter and cocoa powder bodyboss A Ca Ce ose erated Oreo RCrty Greek Yogurt & Strawberries MAINS Ree eC oa aeerrs SC MeC Cee c) Finger Lickin’ Chicken & Slaw eee ees ETc erent eel ae ets emerge Sete bodyboss Low-Carb Eggy Muffins BREAKFAST o of "ow ‘tan 192 5 1 18 1 3 Prop Time 10 mins Cook Time 25 mins Serves 3 Serving Size 2 muffins Ingredients 3 tsp nut oil of choice Ye red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips 6 free-range eggs 2 cups (60g) fresh baby spinach, rinsed and roughly chopped % cup (75g) ham, diced into 1m cubes Yetsp salt Ya tsp garlic powder Method 1.
