Lose weight eating more fat and fewer carbohydrates

The ketogenic diet is a very successful weight loss plan that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose which fuels the body and brain; however, if there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies which replace glucose as an energy source. As a result, the body burns more fat, leading to weight loss and other benefits. In my experience, I feel healthier and more productive on the keto plan than when my body is bogged down with carbs.

The correct ratio for doing a strict ketogenic diet is 60% fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbs. This should be your number one goal for the keto diet, maintaining the correct ratio. An example of a ratio would be 100g fat, 100g protein, and 20g carbs. This site will help you to maintain those numbers, yet enjoy a variety of delicious keto recipes. Keto eating need not be boring. You can eat a variety of very low carb meals, snacks, and treats, and watch those pounds melt off. Read more…
