1.You have epilepsy “The ketogenic diet has been successfully used in the treatment of patients with epilepsy, both children and adults, for nearly a century,” said Dr. Tanya J. W. McDonald of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In fact, the diet started as a “medical therapy” to treat epilepsy. Dr. McDonald said physicians think it has an impact on seizures because it impacts things like metabolic regulation, neurotransmission, oxidative stress, inflammation, and genomic expression.     2.You have a progressive neurological disorder Dr. Terry Wahls noted that, in some cases, a low-carb diet such as keto can ease symptoms of progressive neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s, by helping with fatigue, cognitive decline, and loss of brain volume. She noted that one small pilot studyshowed that the keto diet improved the quality of life for patients with relapsing-remitting MS. 3.You like the food that’s part of the ket...

A secret to become successful in keto diet, is to eat enough healthy fat. Consuming plenty of healthy fat can boost your ketone levels and help you reach ketosis. Indeed, a very low-carb ketogenic diet not only minimizes carbs, but is also high in fat. Ketogenic diets for weight loss, metabolic health and exercise performance usually provide between 60–80% of calories from fat.

1. Aids in weight loss It takes more work to turn fat into energy than it takes to turn carbs into energy. Because of this, a ketogenic diet can help speed up weight loss. And since the diet is high in protein, it doesn't leave you hungry like other diets do. In a meta-analysis of 13 different randomized controlled trials, 5 outcomes revealed significant weight loss from a ketogenic diet. 2. Reduces acne There are a number of different causes of acne, and one may be related to diet and blood sugar. Eating a diet high in processed and refined carbohydrates can alter gut bacteria and cause more dramatic blood sugar fluctuations, both of which can have an influence on skin health. Therefore, by decreasing carb intake, it's not a surprise that a ketogenic diet could reduce some cases of acne. 3. May help reduce risk of cancer The ketogenic diet has recently been investigated a great deal for how it may help prevent or even treat certain cancers. One study found that ...

There are some types of keto diet, Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This is a very low-carb, balanced-protein and high-fat diet. It May  contain 75% fat, 20% protein and about 5% of carbohydrates Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This diet involves periods of higher-carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high-carb days. Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts. High-protein ketogenic diet:it has similarities with standard ketogenic diet, but includes more protein. The ratio is often 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs.Ketogenic Diets Can Help You Lose Weight

What is a keto diet The ketogenic diet is  much fat, balanced protein and low-carbohydrate diet that  is used primarily to treat epilepsy in children. It forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in improving brain function. But if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, to the liver converts fatinto fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Notes:::  ***Around half of children and young people with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists even after discontinui...
