The Tenets of a Keto Diet

Low Carbo

The first step to a keto diet is reducing carbohydrate intake, as low as 50 grams per day. Always consult your doctor or a nutritional specialist before drastically changing your diet.

High Fat

Carbohydrates are essentially replaced by high fat intake, and becomes the fuel the body burns in order to produce energy for daily living.

Moderate Protein

High protein foods are generally nutritious and also help the body to retain muscle mass, appease food cravings from diet changes and optimize organ functions.

Pros

Many people turn to keto when looking to lose weight fast. And it can be very effective, especially when done together with intermittent fasting. For certain conditions like diabetes, it can also be an effective diet regimen since sugar is removed from the diet.

Cons

Beginners to keto often suffer headaches, constipation, and lethargy until the body is acclimatized to the diet change. Anyone looking to start a keto diet should follow a weekly meal plan to ensure that all nutritional needs are met. Too often, inexperienced keto dieters fail to balance their diet with enough vitamins, which causes other problems.

Long Term Considerations

My biggest takeaway from starting a keto diet is learning more about the food I put into my body. Without consistent and balanced meal planning, a keto dieter may also run into health issues. Many find it difficult to maintain the discipline to stay on keto for life. If you find it a chore, try it for 12 weeks and then return to a normal diet.
