Carrying excess body fat is more than an aesthetic concern. Many people want to lose body fat simply so they look good, however losing body fat has far more important benefits.
Your body has three main sources of energy. It can burn fat, carbohydrate, or protein. When we burn fat, we produce substances called ketones. These are produced normally, and when we measure these ketones in our urine, we know we are burning fat efficiently.
The Keto diet is very effective and will enable you to lose ½-2kg of body fat per week without feeling hungry. Many people have achieved greater fat loss than they ever thought possible using the Keto diet. These people have also maintained their muscle mass, which means they can maintain their weight loss long-term.
KetoStix are a fast and accurate way to monitor ketosis (or fat burning) during your weight loss program. Follow the instructions below to ensure you are in ketosis. If you are having trouble getting into ketosis read the trouble-shooting guide here
The ketogenic diet is not a high protein diet, while you do need to consume adequate sources of protein to protect your muscle mass you must also consume adequate low glycaemic index carbohydrates (in the form of vegetables) and adequate healthy fats. In fact you might find yourself eating more vegetables during this program than you ever have!
As discussed in the previous section on pH balance it is imperative that you consume enough low glycaemic index carbohydrates from vegetables and adequate protein. A general rule of thumb is you should have three times more vegetables than you do protein sources.
