The absolute majority of the people dream dreams and will dream about weight loss. But why to succeed in this field is obtained is not many?
Little useful information on this topic, the difficulties in restricting the diet, lack of motivation, financial difficulties, health problems and the like – the main reasons (most of them are common excuses for it to do anything) no positive result.
There are a large number of diets. Some are more effective, others less, but all are based on the principle of weight loss: create a calorie deficit. You will have to spend more energy, than receive.
Why create such a deficit? First of all, it's exercise, and secondly, it decreases the amount of calories consumed, respectively, and the food in your diet will be considerably less. Less consumption, more consumption – the result is just around the corner.
One of the most effective is the keto-diet, which had already advocated in the 60-ies of Vince Gironde. What is its function? In the full exclusion of carbohydrates, the use in the diet of large amounts of fat and protein, in particular, the system adjustments of your body.
Before keto diet differ from other diets and the specifics of the diet
As the main fuel for the nutrition of the brain and the whole organism are carbohydrates, then in the "keto" you are forcing your body to switch to an alternative source of energy - fat, but the process of this breakdown and use of fat is called simply – ketosis.
Due to such a rotation is going on depletion of its own reserves of carbohydrates - glycogen is in the muscles and liver, and the body burns fat automatically.
There is a deeper decrypt this diet, with more than a clear description of the principles of functioning of the mechanism, but it makes sense to talk about him in such detail no. Why?
Yes, because the main thing - to understand the essence of this system: the almost complete rejection of carbohydrates, eating large amount of fat for proper functioning of the brain, create a calorie deficit in the diet, it is possible to with confidence, how to lose weight and burn fat.
Is it worth it to completely remove the carbs? It is possible to leave only 30-50 grams of fiber for proper bowel function. To burn fat are does not affect, but improve digestion.
Fiber is found in the green salted vegetables (cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, etc.).
How is the adaptation of the organism to this kind of diet
Phase 1. For the first 8-10 hours of the diet your reserves of carbohydrates are in the body wanes.
Phase 2. On the second day, after the last ingestion of carbohydrates, the body is no longer rebuilt on a new source of energy.
Phase 3. On the 5-6 day body uses fat as an energy source. But, in addition, the source of energy is becoming more and proteins.
Phase 4. Your body is completely rebuilt on the splitting of the fat. Protein is not already used as energy. Brain on 3/4 feeds on the way to ketosis.
An important aspect is the carbohydrate download. What is its meaning? After, say, two weeks of keto diet, your body uses an alternative source of energy – fat.
But to speed up the metabolism, to produce the adaptive properties of the organism, yet it requires some amount of carbohydrates. How much? 10 grams of carbohydrates for every kilogram of body weight will suffice.
When? Later two and more weeks of the keto diet. Take download must no more than 12 to 18 hours. In this period, you will eat complex and simple carbohydrates, fiber, and then again forcing your body to switch into the mode of ketosis.
The composition of the keto diet
What is the composition of the diet? A third of the daily calories should be protein, rest is fat. It is known that 1 gram of fat equals 9 kcal, while 1 gram of protein is 4 kcal.
For example, it is necessary in a day for weight loss to 2200 kcal. That is, whereas the aspect ratio, eats 200 grams of fat and 100 grams of protein. In the sum gives 2200 kcal/day. Elementary arithmetic will help lead your body to a good result.
