Hey there, health explorers! Ever feel like you need a complete reset? Do you feel like your body is stuck in a rut, maybe holding onto extra weight or you’re just not feeling your best? You’re not alone! And guess what? There’s a popular lifestyle that’s helped lots of people het the “Reset” button, and it’s called the Ketogenic Diet (or Keto for short)!
So, what is Keto? Think of it as a low-carb, hight-fat eating plan. But it’s not just about swapping out bread for butter (though there is some butter involved). It’s about teaching your body a whole new way to get energy.
Normally, our bodies run on sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates. But when you drastically cut down on carbs and replace them with healthy fats, something pretty cool happens: your body shifts into a metabolic state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body becomes a fat-burning machine, using fat (both the fat you eat and the fat stored on your body!) as its primary fuel source, instead of glucose.
This isn’t just some new fad! Did you know that a version of a low-carb keto diet was used as far back as the 1860s to help people slim down? Even 100 years ago, a carnivore diet (a stricter low-carb version) was used to treat Type 2 Diabetes before medications were available. So, while it feels new and exciting now, the basic principles have been around for ages!
