Ketosis is the metabolic state your body puts itself into when there is no more glucose left in your body which results in fat being burned off. Your body is literally emptying your vault of fat and filling it up with ketones which is used as energy and thus the weight loss begins. Once you have ketosis activated and eat the right Keto Diet food - the weight will drop off. Get Lean With KetosisThere are a few ways to can take advantage of the ketogenic diet to assist you in losing weight but it is quite important that you know what a lot of people will find that they'll have to transition into keto-adaption (the process that body goes through to adapt to the diet) A lot of us get the majority of our calories from consuming carbohydrates and protein, however when you are on the keto diet, your calories are from good fats which will cause you to suffer from keto flu. Keto-flu has symptoms such as nausea, brain-fog, lack of energy and mood swings but all you need is a couple of weeks and your body will adapt naturally.1. Fat fastEating natural foods with high fat such as avocado's is one of the best techniques to lose fat for good. No more carbs, glucose is part of the path to mindful eating. Your body will send you signals when to eat so only eat during that time. There is no point in eating when you feel full. This fat fasting protocol can work for you, but you must be very strict and even the smallest slip up or cheat day will stop your path to reaching ketosis. This method of fasting can be extreme, so prepare to have the utmost dedication. Even a bite of one fried chip can put you off completely. Keep up with this protocol and will see the benefits such as losing up to 12 pounds within a week and even lose inches off your weight. In the first week however you will notice a large drop in weight due to the water your body is ridding itself of. Once you have lost the weight, your journey on ketosis will begin as you have become keto-adapted.2. Normal fastingYou don't have to be on the keto diet to get into ketosis. Fasting as a wide range of benefits and this is one of them. When you fast, you will at some point get into ketosis and your body will produce ketones which is form of energy that your body uses to function. The 16/8 fast protocol is the favorite of all as once you have fasted for 16hrs, you will be in state of ketosis which will burn all the fat instead of glucose. Glucose is formed from eating carbs. To get the best results, fasting for 20 to 24hrs will be more beneficial. For beginners it is recommended that you start with a 10 hour fast and then slowly moving up to 11hr fast, then 12 and so on until you reach the desired fast window.3. Eat 5 small meals per dayAnother option to put yourself in a state of ketosis without starving yourself is eat five small meals per day. Open up your hand and that is the size of what your meals should be. Most people consider this grazing and it a better option than eating larger meals due to the calorie intake. The smaller meals that you consume throughout the day shouldn't contain more than 200 calories each. They need to contain mostly good fats and the least amount being protein. Per meal aim for 80% fats and 20% protein but carbs if possibly need to be taken out the equation completely. The most missed fact about the ketogenic diet and achieving ketosis is that you don't lose weight but you lose fat. Most people hit the scales and get upset, but they don't notice the fat in their waist being reduced. Weight loss is not supposed to be your goal here, it is fat loss. Take measurements of your waist, your BMI and recheck them each week to see the difference, don't rely on the weight scales.
