I’m going to talk about a very special diet about ‘The Ketogenic Diet’. It saves the lives of many people. It is specially used to treat epileptics, people suffering from obesity, and also helps fight cancer. This diet is known as the ketogenic diet or ketogenic diet.
What is the Ketogenic Diet ?
The ketogenic diet is often prescribed to children suffering from epilepsy. Thus, the bases of this mode of feeding have to be simple. Why? Well, it is the parents who make themselves respect this diet to their children. These are not doctors, nor do scientists just people like you and me.
The ketogenic diet or ketogenic diet is based on very simple principles:
Consume carbohydrates in very small quantities: maximum 50g per day
Replace sugar with good fat
Consuming protein at every meal
That is to say: eat vegetables and meat at will. By meat, this also includes deli meats. Are you surprised? You can be. You can also be happy, since when can you eat cold meats while losing weight?
Today, it is the carbohydrates that are used by our body as the primary energy. What you need to know is that carbohydrates ( sugar ) are responsible for your fat. Why? Because the body does not know how to use too much sugar. So, it will store it and the love handles appear.

We consume too many carbohydrates, so our body does not know what to do with it. Because originally it was the body’s fuel lipids. And you’ve already seen, a big caveman? Well, I know you had never really seen it, but the paintings and skeletons found are not those of an overweight population. So why?
Quite simply because this contrary to what one might think: lipids (fat) are not responsible for your fat. On the contrary, lipids are used by the body and more particularly by the brain. The goal of the ketogenic diet or ketogenic diet is to restore this imbalance. That is to say, decrease the number of carbohydrates consumed while increasing the proteins (the meat) and the lipids (the fat). This will cause you to lose fat and weight.
It’s that simple. By reducing your carbohydrate intake you will lose fat. What’s too easy? Sorry but the answer is YES. In any case, it’s easy to say. To do this is another story because carbohydrates and especially sugar is present everywhere in our diet.
I know, I know, all this history of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is a bit complex at first. You have to learn what these macronutrients serve. This is the key to your physical transformation.
How to use the ketogenic Diet
Yes, sugar is present everywhere. This is for two reasons:
It is very affordable
It makes the food swell
Sugar gives a pleasant taste to food
Did you know that in the bacon there was sugar? In fact, there is sugar in all industrial products, even those that are believed to be healthy. Like the small weight inbox for example or the iceberg salad. But do not take my word for it, check for yourself. On food labels look at the line “carbohydrates” and “carbohydrates of which sugars”.
To practice the ketogenic diet it is very easy: all foods that do not contain more than 2 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams can be consumed.
This is the case for the majority of fresh meats and fish, but also cold meats and cheese. Yes, you have read, cheese is allowed up to 100 grams per day which amounts to 2 slices of cheese per day. Just be careful as some cheese contain more than 2g of carbohydrates per 100 grams.
As for the vegetables: all those who are green are at will. For example, you can lick yourself on broccoli, asparagus, courgettes, but also eggplant. Leafy vegetables should be preferred if you like them. That is spinach, mache, blette, cabbage, and many others.
To give you an idea here is a typical ketogenic meal day.
One Day of Ketogenic meal Type
Breakfast
If you also want to practice a ketogenic diet, you can take inspiration from it:
Omelet with bacon . 2 whole eggs and 40 grams of bacon of the best quality possible.
A piece of cheese About 50g of sheep cheese for example
A tea or coffee without sugar. For those who wish, you can add cream in your morning drink. It just needs to be unsweetened.
Lunch
6 slices of serrano ham with broccoli and asparagus. You can eat my vegetables by steaming with a little garlic and olive oil. I often add spices such as basil, turmeric, or ginger.
A handful of squash seed. The seeds of the squash are naturally salty and rich in zinc. It is really good to taste and it helps to fight against the colds and other small bobos. In addition, this prevents water retention.
Having dinner
A plate is full of fresh spinach shoots.
2 small escalopes of turkey or chicken. Little advice for preparation. Cut the cutlets into small pieces, then add ginger with basil. Saute it in pan fry for 8-10 minutes and it’s done!
The effect of the ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet will have several positive effects on the organism if it is well done:
Increase basic metabolism
Burn fat. Bye-Bye love handles
Lose Weight So Refine Your Silhouette
Creating ketosis: that is, the body starts to use lipids as its primary energy. So, as lipids are consumed more quickly by the body, it will burn fat in stock as soon as it runs out of fuel.
The ketogenic diet is therefore very advantageous. It will allow you to be healthy while eating at your hunger. The advantage of eating more fats and protein is that small hunger disappears. So you fight effectively against small hunger. Even better: you will soon feel a renewed energy. So you can say goodbye to the shot of the bar after eating!
In addition, unlike all hypocaloric diets, the ketogenic diet, will not lead to a loss of muscle mass. This is why it is widely used by high-level athletes during dry periods. That is when they want to lose all their fat without losing muscle. So, all the weight lost is a good weight in the sense that you lose fat.
Well, not everybody is a top athlete and no one wants to take the lead in eating. So who is the ketogenic diet for?
Who is for Ketogenic Diet?
It’s very simple: to all those who want a flat stomach and salient abs! Originally, this mode of feeding is used to treat people with serious illnesses. Such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, autism, epilepsy, etc.
The ketogenic diet makes it possible in particular to combat the spread of cancer cells. This way of feeding therefore literally saves, the lives of thousands of humans. And especially the life of a thousand epileptic children. As a result, the ketogenic diet is very simple to set up.
All you need to remember is:
Eating without counting calories
Eating true food
Limit carbohydrates as much as possible
Consuming protein and vegetables
And if you want to make deviations from time to time, take a day to do a carbohydrate recharge. That is to say eat a lot of carbohydrates like fruits, chocolate or even some sushi! This is called the cyclic ketogenic diet. This makes it possible to restart the metabolism while being pleased. The ketogenic diet is effective at burning fat but it is not easily applicable by everyone.
I myself adopted this food mode to my diet. The principle is based on rather low consumption of carbohydrates the week that I double over the weekend.
On the other hand, I do not consume as much fat as recommended in the ketogenic diet because I do not want to go into ketosis. It simplifies my life and allows me to get the best results possible.
