Going into KetosisThe Keto DietThe keto diet has gained immense popularity over the last couple of years.Thousands of the people who have tried it have made videos and writtenarticles saying how effective it is and how being in ketosis helped them shedthe excess fat effortlessly.What is ketosis?When you go on a keto diet, most of the calories consumed will come fromfat. When starting off, it’s recommended that you consume 70 to 75 percentof calories in the form of fat. Bacon, coconut oil, salmon, butter, ghee, etc. arehighly recommended.18 | Tread Fitness | Issue #1 https://treadmedia.us
This alone makes many people panicbecause they’ve been led to believe that eatingfatty foods is unhealthy and will raise theirblood cholesterol levels. In reality, it’s not fattyfoods that are the cause of the problem.The real culprits are sugar, simple carbs andprocessed foods.When you’re on a ketogenic diet, you’retraining your body to use ketones as a fuelsource instead of glucose. Glucose is a ‘lowergrade’ fuel that has several detrimental effects.Why ketosis works:Ketones are a cleaner source of fuel andare produced when your body uses fat for fuel.This is why people who reach ketosis suddenlyexperience mental clarity and more energy. It’sas if a brain fog has been lifted and they haveabundant energy. There is often the worry thatthe body requires carbs to function optimally.In reality, the 20 to 50 grams of carbsallowed in the keto diet is more than sufficient.The human body is more than capable ofproducing its own glucose by using the glycerolproperties of fat.Do we really need carbohydrates?The human body does not require carbs tofunction optimally. While you may consumevegetables for the fiber and micronutrients,you really do NOT need carbs like bread, rice,etc.By weaning yourself off carbs and burningglucose for fuel, you’ll avoid many diseasessuch as diabetes, high blood pressure,inflammation, etc. There is no long-termdanger to being on ketosis.In fact, you’ll be healthier, leaner and havemuch more energy. You’ll be at a very low riskwhen it comes to getting diseases associatedwith glucose. In fact, studies have shown thatcancer cells need glucose to thrive.When your body is on the keto diet, thecancer cells are starved of glucose and eitherbecome dormant or just die. Ketosis is thathttps://treadmedia.uspowerful.Will ketosis cause muscle loss?Contrary to popular belief, ketosis doesnot cause muscle loss. In fact, it encourages it.When you’re in a ketogenic diet and combine itwith intermittent fasting, your body producesmore growth hormone.If you’re engaging in resistance training, youwill gain lean muscle. The body seldom burnsoff muscle for fuel. Only during periods ofstarvation when it has no choice will the bodychoose to catabolize its muscle.But what about cholesterol?Here’s the truth – your body produces mostof its cholesterol. Yes, it does. Cholesterol isused by the body to protect the cells. The fatyou eat in the keto diet doesn’t raise yourcholesterol levels.Inflammation does. When the cells inyour body are inflamed, the body createscholesterol to soothe and protect them.So what causes inflammation? Sugar andprocessed foods. That’s what.Now you can see that the real culprits arehiding in plain sight. Fats have gotten a badrep, while carbs which are quickly converted toglucose are hailed as healthy. Being in ketosisactually reduced your bad cholesterol levels.And that leaves us with the last worry that somany people have…ketoacidosis.The difference between ketosis andketoacidosis:Ketosis is a state where the body burnsketones for fuel. Ketoacidosis on the otherhand, is a situation where your body has highlevels of sugar and ketones. This can be a lifethreateningsituation.It usually only affects those who have type1 diabetes because the body doesn’t produceinsulin to manage the sugar in the blood. Mostpeople who don’t suffer from type 1 diabeteswill not face this problem.Issue #1 | Tread Fitness | 19
