The latest diet that’s making headlines for the right reasons is the ketogenic diet. The difference between a keto diet and any other fad diets out there is its efficiency. With a focus on minimum carbs and high-fat foods, a keto diet can benefit the body in various ways. For one, it’s useful for those who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Small fuel molecules in our body are called “ketones”, which also serve as an energy source in the event that your blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply.
What a keto diet does to your body is interesting: your body runs mostly on fat when your sugar (insulin) levels are drastically reduced. Got a couple of pounds to shave off? A ketogenic diet is what you should embark on.
What specific foods should you consume on a keto diet? As long as your carb intake is below 50g per day of net carbs, you’re good to go. Keep high-carb and starchy foods at bay, including pasta, bread, rice, potatoes, and even sugar-laden or high-calorie drinks such as beer, soda, and juice.
If you don’t have the time to commit on a keto diet, fret not. ShopandBox these granola, cereal, snacks and even beverages that are keto-friendly:
