How to plan your Keto Diet?

Keto Diet Plan

Keto Diet Plan – How to plan your Keto Diet

The ketogenic diet is a diet with significantly low-carb, high-fat makeup. It involves considerably lowering your carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat.

This lowering of carbs places your body into a metabolic state called “ketosis.” In this state, your body will become very efficient at converting fat to energy.

Your body also converts fat into ketones in the liver, which supplies energy to the brain.

Furthermore, Keto diets can cause a significant reduction in your blood sugar and insulin levels. These, together with the increased ketones, have various health benefits.

4 Main Types of Ketogenic Diets

The standard ketogenic diet (SKD):

This version is the most popular and has a low-carb, moderate protein, and high-fat diet makeup. It usually contains 75 percent fat, 20 percent protein, and only 5 percent carbohydrate.

The cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD):

This keto diet involves swapping periods of higher-carb followed by a high-fat diet, i.e. 5 keto days followed by two high carbohydrate days.

The targeted ketogenic diet (TKD):

This diet allows you to add carbohydrates when working out.

High-protein ketogenic diet:

This diet is similar to an SKD apart from the fact that it includes more protein. The ratio for a high-protein ketogenic diet is usually 60 percent fat, 35 percent protein, and 5 percent carbohydrate.

It must be noted, however, that only the standard and high-protein ketogenic diets have been studied extensively.

Cyclical or targeted ketogenic diets are mostly used by bodybuilders or athletes. Therefore, this article primarily deals with SKD, although many of the same principles apply to other variations.

Health Benefits of Keto Diets

Ketogenic Diets Help You to Lose Weight

A keto diet is a very efficient way to lose weight and lower your risk factors for disease. The keto diet is also filling, and you can quickly lose weight without having to track your food intake.

Ketogenic Diets Improve Diabetes and Prediabetes

One of the characteristics of diabetes is changes in body metabolism, high blood sugar, and impaired insulin function.

However, the keto diet helps to lose excess fat, which is closely linked to type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

A ketogenic diet also improves insulin sensitivity. This is a very significant benefit when considering the link between weight and type 2 diabetes.

Keto diet can also have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions, including heart disease, cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Polycystic ovary syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, brain injuries, and Acne.

Keto Diet Side Effects and How to Minimize Them

While the keto diet is very safe for healthy people, some initial side effects occur while your body adapts to the meal. These side effects are known as the keto flu and usually end in a few days.

The keto flu symptoms are sleep issues, reduced energy and mental function, increased hunger, nausea, decreased exercise performance, and digestive discomfort.

To mitigate these effects, eat a regular low-carbohydrate diet for the first few weeks of your keto diet. This will let your body burn more fat.

A ketogenic diet may also alter your body’s water and mineral levels. You can correct it by adding extra salt to your diet or consuming mineral supplements.

In the beginning, try to eat until you are full. Also, avoid reducing the calories you consume too much. A ketogenic diet naturally causes weight loss without intentional calorie restriction.

Frequently Asked Questions about Keto Diet

Q. Can I ever eat carbohydrates again?

A. Yes. However, it would be best to reduce your carb intake significantly initially. After 2–3 months, you can eat carbohydrates on special occasions as long as you return to the diet immediately afterward.

Q. Will I lose muscle?

A. There is a likelihood that you will lose some muscle on any diet, including keto. However, the high ketone levels and high protein intake may help you keep muscle loss to a minimum, particularly if you exercise by lifting weights.

Q. Can I build muscle on a keto diet?

A. Yes, but it may not be as efficient as when you are on a moderate-carb diet

Q. Do I need to or carb load or refeed?

A. No. A few higher-calorie days will be beneficial occasionally.

Q. How much protein should I eat?

A. Protein should be consumed moderately, as a high intake may spike your insulin levels and lower the ketone level. Around 35% of the total calorie intake should be your maximum.

Q. What if I am constantly tired?

A. Most likely, you are not in full ketosis, or your body is not utilizing ketones and fats efficiently. Lower your carb intake by taking a supplement like MCT oil or ketones.

Q. My breath smells. What can I do?

A. This is a common side effect of the ketogenic diet. Chew sugar-free gum or drink naturally flavored water.

Q. Is ketosis extremely dangerous?

A. Ketosis is different from ketoacidosis. Ketosis is natural, while ketoacidosis only occurs in uncontrolled diabetes. While ketoacidosis is dangerous, ketosis on a keto diet is healthy.

Q. I have digestion issues and diarrhea on the diet. What should I do?

A. This common side effect usually stops after 3–4 weeks. If your digestion issues, such as constipation, take longer than 4 weeks, consume more vegetables that are high in fiber, such as Brussels sprouts and broccoli.

Using magnesium supplements may help with your constipation as well.

Conclusion

While the keto diet is excellent, it is not for everyone. A ketogenic diet is usually helpful for people who are diabetic, overweight or looking to improve their body’s metabolic rate.

It is less useful for elite athletes or people who want to add large amounts of muscle or weight. Also, the die will only work if you are stuck with it.

Note: You need to reduce your intake of carby (carbohydrates) to 20-50g per day.
