Ketogenic diet, or in short Keto, is a form of diet that focuses on intentionally shifting the body’s metabolism from glucose (carbs) to Ketones (fats), in essence, to put it on Ketosis. In Ketosis, the cells in the body use Ketones (formed by breaking down fat cells) instead of glucose (formed from carbs or sugars) to derive energy for bodily functions and metabolism.
In this diet, the dieter is expected to obtain their daily calorific requirements i.e., energy for metabolism, primarily from fats (65-75%) and proteins (15-25%) instead of carbohydrates (5-10%) depending on requirement.
Things to keep in mind while on a ketogenic diet is that the initial days will be very hard. You will experience extreme tiredness and fatigue. There will be a transition period, when your body is accepting ketones as the main source of energy. This period is called Keto flu, when you feel irritable and sick from the lack of carbs in your body. At this point, it is a good idea to start considering supplements i.e. Keto salts, to fast forward the process of ketosis, if it’s not happening for you.
It is difficult to recommend a list of best keto recipes as there are hundreds of recipes out there. In Keto, most dieters think they need to eat bacon, avocado and eggs every day. Hence, it's a common misconception that you'll be eating boring and bland food when you're on a ketogenic diet. While simple foods are a staple, there's so many ways to add variety back into your diet.
