The ketogenic diet

What is the ketogenic diet ?

The ketogenic diet is still little understood and often misunderstood.
For example, do you know that a baby is born in ketosis and will remain so if breastfed ?
Did you know that it’s thanks to ketosis that we get out of a bad cold or that nutritional ketosis has been with humanity for over 2.5 million years ?

As basic as it sounds, this is what it is all about: less carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and more lipids (good fats) !

Nowadays, the Western diet is about 55% carbohydrates. In a ketogenic diet, this figure drops to … 5%

By adopting a ketogenic lifestyle, our intake of carbohydrates is very limited. Automatically insulin requirements are lowered and smoothed. The body deprived of the fuel “carbohydrates” will then remember that there is another solution: “FAT” and the ketones produced thanks to these same FAT !

A well-formulated ketogenic diet plunges the body into a state of nutritional ketosis which is quite normal. It’s not being in ketosis that is not normal !

Why the ketogenic diet ?

Here are some common examples of the benefits from adopting a ketogenic diet :

  • Weight loss (loss of fat mass and preservation of lean mass)
  • Low blood pressure
  • Better lipid profile
  • Decreased appetite
  • Disappearance of cravings and hypoglycemia
  • Rediscovering the real feeling of hunger
  • Stabilization of energy levels
  • Better focus and self-confidence
  • Improved athletic performance
  • Strengthened immune system
  • Longevity

 

The ketogenic diet is also used against diseases.
Some examples :

  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Neurodegenerative diseases: Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s
  • Epilepsy
  • Migraine
  • PCOS
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Decrease in the phenomenon of chronic inflammation (acne, eczema, arthritis, etc.)
The art of nutritional ketosis

The ketogenic diet has been widely scientifically documented for now a century.
And the evolution of scientific literature has been exponential for the last 20 years.

Thanks to this scientific base we can make informed decisions.

But nutritional ketosis is also an art, because it is multifactorial and requires multidisciplinary knowledge to offer the maximum of its potential …
