A KETOGENIC DIET is a strict regime of High Fat Low Carb (HFLC) that turns your body into a state KETOSIS. Ketosis is where you burn fat instead of carbohydrates for energy.
Successfully following a Keto-diet convinces our bodies to act metabolically as if it was starving even as we take in enough calories and nutrition to remain healthy. A properly formulated ketogenic diet should have high fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrate intake.
As a general rule a traditional keto diet with a standard Fat : Protein : Carb ratio, is 75 : 20 : 5.
NB: You will see that not all the recipes within follow this exact formula, but but many Dinners for example, assume you will add sides and sauces to them which will weigh jnto the ratio. As with all new diets, consult a specialist before you start, to ensure a menu plan that will provide the best possible outcome for you.
Keto Diet in 1920
The Keto diet was originally developed for children ejth epilepsy. This diet dates back to the 1920s when doctors in Washington D.C figured that forcing children with epilepsy into ketosis, through a low carb diet, appeared to reduce seizures.
Melanie Bohemer, a registered dietitian at Lenlx Hill Hospital in NYC says "We have used very low carbohydrate duets to treat epileptics in a clinical setting for a very, very long time. Now is the first time we are seeing it used by more general polilatokns for weight management."
