The ketogenic diet is all anyone can talk about latelybut its not exactly new. The keto model is similar to the Atkins diet of the early 2000s, but focuses more heavily on carb restriction. When you go keto, 60 to 80 percent of you diet is composed of fat, 10 to 15 percent comes from protein, and less than 10 percent is made up of carbs.
Heres the thing: Keto is extremely restrictive, which automatically means it wont work for everyone. But if you can stick with it, you should go into in a ketogenic state, which will theoretically force your body to run on fat rather than glucose (a type of sugar found in carbs), helping your burn fat by default.
Plus, as the Reddit user noted, youre forced to eat a limited number of foods, which means you have less of any opportunity to rely on unhealthy options. Plus, you cant really eat carbs, so you will immediately eliminate refined carbs, like sugar cereals and packaged snacks, which can help you reduce your calories.
Heres everything you need to know about keto before you try it, including three tips that will prime you for success. This ketogenic diet meal plan will serve some recipe inspiration, too.
