      – Clearer thought process – There are times when our thought process becomes hazy and we are not clear about our objectives and goals.

      – When the body is restricted from consuming Carbohydrates, the calorie intake will also lower down further contributing to weight loss.

      – A process called Gluconeogenesis will kick in as well which will cause the body to burn even more fat.

      – Decreased appetite. Speaking of burning fat, A Ketogenic diet will also help you to Suppress your Appetite, so you won’t have to go out and eat now and then and bulk up, even more, fat.

If weight loss is your goal, a decreased appetite can help you successfully achieve your calorie deficit goals

      Ketogenic Diet Plan

      What is your health and fitness goal? Weight Loss? Cutting fat? The meal plan should be designed based on your motivation and desired outcome.

      If your goal is weight loss, it’s as simple as entering a state of ketosis and maintaining a calorie deficit. However, if you don’t enter ketosis, or fail to maintain ketosis, weight loss goals may be compromised. You must enter ketosis, maintain that metabolic state, and in order to have successful weight loss with Keto. This means eating a diet high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates. For cutting fat and maintaining your weight, it’s as simple as entering and maintaining ketosis and maintaining a calorie balance.

      Calorie Deficit Explained

      The weight loss, weight gain, and weight maintenance formulas are simple. It comes down to calorie intake vs calorie expenditure (energy needs)

      Weight maintenance: Calorie intake=Calorie expenditure

      Weight gain: Calorie intake> Calorie expenditure

      *Weight loss: Calorie intake <Calorie expenditure*

      Macros Explained

      You hear people at the gym tossing the word back and forth like a kettlebell. Macro. Macro this, macro that. What exactly is it?

      Macros stand for macronutrients. You hear people at the gym tossing the word back and forth like a kettlebell. Macro. Macro this, macro that. What exactly is it? Your macros are the daily intake of the three main nutrients that affect weight and your overall health, which are fats, protein, and carbohydrates. Fats have 9cals/gram, proteins and carbs have 4cals/g.

      Fat = 9cals/g

      Protein = 4cals/g

      Carbs = 4cals/g

      Fats are 90% keto, which is why they’re such an efficient fuel for your body to use on a daily basis. Fats enter your body, are processed in the liver, and break down into various components your body needs to stay in top shape, such as glycerol. The remaining 10%, in case you’re wondering, is a little bit of anti-keto glucose (10%) that happens when fats break down.

      Carbs are completely anti-ketogenic. They break down into sugar (glucose) and consequently raise your blood sugar and your insulin levels, which translates to (unwanted) fat storage.

      Proteins are approximately half-ketogenic, somewhere around 45%. The remaining percentage is broken down into glucose and raises insulin levels.

      All of these macros have a different effect on how your body uses food, whether efficiently as an energy source, or for storage (fat) in case of perceived emergency. Maintaining a balance of these macros is all-important not only to the ketogenic diet, but also to overall health. Macros are metabolized (read: burned) in the furnace of our bodies, becoming the fuel that drives us through life. So we need to know about macros in order to prime that furnace (the scientific term for your furnace is “metabolic path.” Just think of each of these macros as being a kind of highway to health.)

      Macro #1: Fats.

      Fats are used by your body to make repairs on damaged muscles, organs, cells, tissues, etc. You consume them, they’re processed in the liver, and they circulate in the form of glycerol or other important fatty acids, acting as body repairmen.

      Macro #2: Carbs.

      Carbohydrates are a pre-ketogenic person’s energy supply. They become СКАЧАТЬ
