WHAT IS THE KETO DIET?
You may have heard the old low-fat weight-loss mantra, “Fat makes you fat.” It’s actually not that simple. In fact, your brain and body benefit from healthy fats, regardless of what diet you follow. Eating keto means consuming fewer carbs and more fats, which changes which fuel your body utilizes for energy (fat instead of carbohydrates).
Think of your body like a hybrid car. With the standard American diet, you generally rely on carbohydrates, like bread and pasta, for fuel. Your metabolism turns carbs into glucose for energy and stores the leftovers as glycogens in your muscles and liver. But just like a hybrid can run on gas or electricity, your body has another source to make energy: fat!
The keto diet revolves around keeping carbs at a minimum, fueling up with quality fats like grass-fed ghee and butter and consuming a moderate amount of high-quality protein sources. And by following this eating approach, you can reap the rewards of ketosis.
