The Keto diet is one of the most popular for losing weight fast. It consists of reducing the consumption of carbohydrates to between 15 and 30 grams daily, causing your body to enter into a state of ketosis. We tell you what you can eat with the Keto diet and what you should avoid.
With the arrival of the bikini operation a few months ago the Keto diet became fashionable again, and it is not surprising since it is an effective way to lose weight fast.
It basically consists in reducing the consumption of carbohydrates drastically – to between 15 and 30 grams daily – forcing the body to use fats as the main source of energy since it does not have the glucose and insulin that it usually obtains from carbohydrates. This metabolic state is known as ketosis – hence the official name of the ketogenic diet.
In addition to helping us lose weight, Keto teaches our body to use fat more efficiently, and it is also recommended for patients with diabetes because it reduces blood sugar levels.
To do it correctly, your daily diet should be made up of no more than 5% carbohydrates, 25% protein and 70% fat. But, exactly what can you eat with the Keto diet? Keep Reading- 7 tips to be getting in shape fast in 2018
