We all want to achieve a fair figure, especially decent sex, and proudly wear open clothes.And most of us refer to this seemingly rather logical plan of action: less - or even hungry - to exclude fat, actively play.The problem is that it is impossible to withstand such a system for a long time, and after a completely predictable breakdown, the discarded kilograms will return again.There is a way out of this closed circle, although you will need discipline and patience, but the result will be stable, the muscle mass will not lose and the skin condition improves.

What is keto-diet
Surprisingly, the keto-diet was not originally not at all to improve losing weight, but to improve the suffering of epileptic seizures.In 1921, the endocrinologist Rollin Woodite first noticed that the liver produces ketone bodies for low maintenance, high fatty foods;In the same year, the therapist, Russell Wilder, called such a diet for a keto-diet and began to use epilepsy when drugs did not result.Medical staff soon noted that patients had become more difficult and easier-so the keto diet had a new development direction.Most of the low-carbohydrate diets known today, such as Atkins, Paleo diet, etc., are later versions of keto-diet.How does it work?
For most people, it seems paradoxical to the idea of fats to reduce weight loss.In order to imagine the keto-dodo mechanism, it is reminded that human metabolism works.Carbohydrates are the main and the cheapest source of energy.In the case of limited carbohydrate intake, the body is no longer able to obtain energy with glucose division and is forced to use alternative energy sources, ie fats processed in the liver are called ketosis - this condition is called ketosis.According to many nutritiologists, keto-diet is not only an effective tool in the struggle for slender shape, but also significantly improves diagnoses such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, autism, schizophrenia and depression.
Keto-diet efficiency
It provides excellent results to follow all rules for the keto diet.The number of kilograms lost weekly may vary from 0, 5 to 2.5, depending on the unique characteristics of the body.The efficiency was convinced by many girls who could not lose weight with another diet;The keto diet is also very popular with bodybuilding men and women as it does not lead to loss of muscle mass.

Benefits and disadvantages of keto-diets
The benefits of this power system are as follows:
- Proven efficiency.The condition of ketosis contributes to the faster loss of fatty body fat than other diets, such as low greasy.
- Lack of hunger: you can always bite from the list of authorized people.
- Keto Dita has no series of strict food, you can choose and combine the products in accordance with preferences.You only have to follow the full formula for the consumption of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, ie 75%: 20%: 5%.
- Keto diet does not lead to loss of muscle mass.The weight is due to the subcutaneous and the visceral fat, not the muscles.
- Diseases such as cancer, algeimer disease, epilepsy, therapeutic and preventive value of depression.To use keto-diet, consult a specialist to treat these diseases.
- The low glycemic index of products allowed for keto-diet promotes the condition of acne prone skin.
Since keto-diet has a significant effect on the body, changing the metabolic path of energy without negative sides, it is not:
- An extensive list of contraindications (see at the end of article).
- The diet is not balanced and may be regularly examined.
- In the first 2 weeks, metabolism is transformed in your body.As long as this process is completed, you can experience fatigue, nausea and concentration difficulties.
- One of the phenomena accompanying the condition is the smell of acetone from the mouth, which can be found in keto-diet.
- The stores are very limited in choosing low Carb products ready to use and should be taken for lunch and snacks.
- Due to the lack of cereals, fruits and most vegetables in the diet, the problems of the intestines are possible.

Diet and energy plan
The keto diet is a low -carbohydrate diet with high levels of fat and moderate proteins.There are many types of this diet:
- Standard keto-diet includes the consumption of fats, proteins and carbohydrates at 75%: 20%: 5%.
- The cyclic ketot diet is "5 days' energy in accordance with the high carbohydrate diet of keto-diet-2 days or the carbohydrate load".
- The target diet includes further use of carbohydrates before and after training.
- The protein keto diet is similar to the standard, but has a larger protein nurse in the diet: the proportion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates is 60%: 35%: 5%.
It should be noted that only huge clinical trials are based on standard and protein diets.Cyclical and target-based features are actively practiced by bodybuilders and attractions, but their safety is not clinically strengthened, so we continue to examine the usual version of the keto-diet.
To calculate approximately, how much to consume protein daily, use a simple formula: 1 gram of protein / 1 kg weight.That is, if the weight is 80 kg, you should consume 80 grams of protein daily.Then, based on the proportion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, we get a number that shows how many fats and carbohydrates you need to consume - 300 and 20 grams.However, it can increase carbohydrates (but up to 50 grams / day).If after the end of the adaptation period - approx.2 weeks - continues to feel fatigue and difficulty with concentration, trying to slowly increase carbohydrates to 5 grams a week.It is better to start a keto-diet smoothly, gradually reducing carbohydrate products in your diet to make your metabolism restructure to save your body as slowly as possible.The duration of keto-diet depends on your well-being and your doctor's recommendations, but it makes no sense to observe this diet for less than a month, as half of this period will adapt.
