What distinguishes the keto diet is that you can eat fried foods such as fried eggs in ghee or in olive oil, this type of food or meals is rare to find in any other diet to lose weight and we will talk about meals in detail in a separate part.
How does the keto diet work?
The basis in the human body is to use carbohydrates as a primary source of energy production, but in the keto diet we force the body to use fats as an energy source instead of carbohydrates, and this is done by entering the body into a state called ketosis.
What is ketosis?
Ketosis is a metabolic state or stage of metabolism in which your body uses fats and ketones as a source of energy instead of glucose and starches as the main source of energy in the body.
When your body enters the stage of ketosis, the liver breaks down fats and converts them into ketones to be used as an energy source. However, your body does not enter this stage or condition from the beginning of the keto diet, but it takes some time.
When does your body enter the ketosis stage?
In order for your body to enter the state of ketosis and break down fats and convert them into ketones or ketones and use them to produce the energy needed for the body for activity, movement and internal vital processes, the body needs to disappear or block the main source of energy in the body, which is glucose.
Glucose is found in the body by eating carbohydrates and also excess calories from protein may turn into glucose, and the body also fills the glucose stores in the body, which are represented in the liver and muscles, and in order for your body to enter the state of ketosis, all glucose in the body must be disposed of, whether It comes from an external source or is stored in the liver and muscles.
