Of Course this has to reflect on our bodies in some way, and it mainly affects our eating and sleeping habits. Let’s talk about eating.

     On average, the modern day person reaches out to fast food, or any other substitute, to cross out the chore of eating quicker. This leads to stomach problems and weight gain. Not to mention high blood pressure, liver and heart problems.

So what do we do? We go on a diet.

What Is The Keto Diet?

     As of the 1970s the Ketogenic diet is one of the most famous dietary regimens. The idea behind it is to get more calories from fat and protein, like chicken, eggs and nuts, and less from carbohydrates, like sugar, pasta, rice and white bread.

     When you eat less than 30-50 grams of carbs per day your body runs out of fuel that is typically a quick energy source. After 3-4 days your body starts to break down fat and protein for energy and this makes you lose weight.

     This is when dietary fats come into play. Depleted glucose reserves lead to the production of ketone bodies which are used as an alternative energy source. This new fuel is met with a lot of love by the central nervous system, and especially by the brain. Sounds pretty basic, but this type of restriction can’t be all the way healthy for you, right?

Oh, You Need To Lose Weight!

     Let’s be honest, everyone has nested the idea that a diet is a good idea. We’ve all had after holiday resolutions to cut back on this, and cut back on that.     

     If you’re planning to go through with this then the Ketogenic diet is probably the best one for you. Especially if you’ve been carrying a bit too much of that extra weight from the holidays for too long.
