What is the Ketogenic Diet?

The ketogenic diet has been in use for almost a century. At its most basic, the ketogenic diet works by putting the body into ketosis using a diet plan based on low-carb, high-fat, and moderate protein intake. It came about as a medical solution to treating difficult cases of epilepsy in children.

The diet is low-carb because the carbs that our bodies consume are converted into glucose, which finds its way to the brain and affects its function. Epilepsy is primarily a neurological issue, and doctors found that decreasing the glucose in the bloodstream positively affected children with epilepsy and helped them to control their seizures.

Recently, the ketogenic diet has been rediscovered as a source of weight loss. It changes fat into ketone bodies rather than glucose. Once the bloodstream is full of ketones rather than glucose, it reduces seizures in children and in people using it for weight loss, utilizes body fat to the point that weight loss is inevitable.

Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet has numerous benefits for children suffering from epilepsy, but it can also benefit people who want to utilize it for weight loss. When we eat a diet high in fat but low in carbs and protein, our bodies enter ketosis.

In a ketogenic state, the body replaces the sugar in the blood with ketone bodies. Not only is the end result a body that utilizes fat as a way to produce energy, but you also lose weight.

The ketogenic diet embraces foods high in fat and shuns foods that make it easy for the liver to convert them into fatty acids. This is not only great for weight loss, but it is also helpful in preventing seizures. Children on this diet have been known to see seizure activity cut in half, even maintaining higher control over epilepsy once the diet has stopped.

Risks of the Ketogenic Diet

There are risks with any diet, but when done the wrong way, diets such as the ketogenic diet can be very dangerous. You should always consult a physician before making the drastic changes this
