- 5 years ago
In this video, we’re going to cover a few keto basics. If you’re new to healthy keto and you’re doing research and trying to decide if it’s something you want to do—this video is for you.
There are several reasons why you need to do the ketogenic diet.
• You can do it long-term.
You have to consider if the diet you choose is sustainable long-term. Most people go off diets because of cravings. One of the most powerful things about the keto diet is that it gets rid of cravings.
• It works.
Is keto effective? Yes. The ketogenic diet gets results in a big way because it corrects the reason why you’re overweight in the first place, which is insulin.
• It’s safe.
You have probably heard that the ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet, and eating all of the fat could cause health problems. But, keto is not a high-fat diet. What makes keto work is not the higher fats, it’s the low-carbs.
• Keto foods taste good.
Quality keto foods are healthy options that taste great. There are also plenty of healthy keto substitutes for unhealthy foods that you might crave like cake and pizza.
Dirty keto - You can pretty much eat whatever you want as long as you keep your carbs low. When you lower your carbs (sugar), you are lowering your insulin. The benefit of this alone is huge.
Some keto benefits are:
1. It will strip off the fat from your liver
2. It will decrease your visceral fat
3. It will decrease inflammation
4. It will increase oxygen levels
5. It will decrease free radicals
6. It will improve brain cell function
Healthy keto - Healthy keto takes it to the next level. It’s all about getting healthy to lose weight, not losing weight to get healthy. If you try to lose weight in an unhealthy way, you may end up not looking very good. Healthy keto helps you look good as you lose weight.
Healthy keto provides the benefits of dirty keto and more because you’re using higher quality foods and you’re getting more essential nutrients. Healthy keto is important for longevity and keeping the weight off.
Keto focuses on fat burning. Healthy keto with intermittent fasting is the best option.
Other diets don’t work because they:
• Allow too many carbs
• Have very unhealthy ingredients
• Omit intermittent fasting
• Are too high in protein with high sugar
• Are low fat - not sustainable
• Are low calorie
