  10. What is the ketogenic diet?

    A ketogenic diet is a form of the low-carb diet . It is characterized by an extremely low-carbohydrate and low-sugar, but very high-fat diet. The lack of carbohydrates changes the metabolism and leads to what is known as " ketosis ".

  11. What exactly is ketosis? Normally, the body gets energy from the carbohydrates in the food - it is therefore dependent on the intake of carbohydrates. If these carbohydrates are missing as an energy supplier, the body has to help itself in other ways.

    In the liver, fats are then converted into so-called ketone bodies, which are used instead of carbohydrates to generate energy and, for example, maintain the performance of the brain. This state of energy production is called "ketosis" and is the principle on which the ketogenic diet is based. The body takes some time to get used to this changed process.

    What does a ketogenic diet look like?

    During a ketogenic diet , the energy requirements should be met as follows:

    • Proteins : 30 percent
    • Fat : 60 percent

    Which foods are banned?

    • Oily fish : salmon, trout, tuna, mackerel
    • Dairy products : butter, cream, cheese (cheddar, goat, cream cheese, mozzarella)

What is the Keto Diet? Keto is an abbreviation for the so-called  ketogenic diet  , which is ultimately an  extreme form of low-carbohydrate diet  .  The principles of the ketogenic diet are high in fat, moderate in protein, and very low in carbohydrates.  The ratio of these nutrients is typically  70–80% fat, around 10–20% protein and 5–10% carbohydrates  [ii]. For a typical meal plan with an average of 2,000 calories per day, this means: 165 g fat 75 g protein 20-30 g carbohydrates [iii] But how is it that you can eat so much fat and still lose weight?   The initial weight loss is mainly due to the body  losing a lot of water  due to the sudden and  extreme reduction in carbohydrates  .  Of course, if you leave out an entire food category (in this case the carbohydrates) there is less to eat;  which is likely to make you eat less in general. In addition to consuming less food  , the body is forced to get i...
