Benefits of a Ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet (or keto diet) has been practised for more than nine decades and is based upon a solid understanding of physiology and nutrition science.
Rather than focusing on low calorie meals, the keto diet is high-fat with a decent amount of protein. Food consumed on a keto diet is very rich and portion control will come naturally. This particular diet takes an entirely different approach to weight loss and improved fitness and nutrition.
Main benefits of a keto diet include:
- weight loss
- appetite control (easier with the type of food eaten)
- more energy
- works against type 2 diabetes
- better mental focus and for longer
