WHY LIVE LOW CARB & HOW DOES IT WORK?

The science part: A ketogenic (keto) diet is a low carb, moderate protein, higher-fat diet that can help you burn fat more effectively. Let's break down the specifics...

HOW DOES KETO WORK?

When following a keto diet, your body will use your stored fat for energy first, instead of breaking down the carbohydrates you eat to turn into sugar. Once all the stored carbohydrates in your body leave your system, your body starts to become fat-adapted and switch to burning the fat you have eaten and stored to give you energy!

In your first 2 weeks, you may experience a dramatic loss on the scales. Carbs love nothing more than to hold onto water. When you reduce the carbs you put into your body, the water will leave, and you will both feel and look less bloated.

What is Ketosis?

Eating a very low carb diet (<20g/day) has been shown to lower insulin levels in your body, and your liver then starts to convert fat into ketones. Your body uses these ketones for energy instead of the glucose it would have used before.

Ketosis = when your body has transitioned from your old high carb diet to your new low carb lifestyle and is mainly using ketones and fat for energy.
