Keto Basic Facts for Beginners
The ketogenic—keto—diet gets credit for being a fast way to lose weight, but research suggests many other benefits are possible with this low-carb, high-fat approach to eating.
Some facts are:
Low-Carb Diets Reduce Your Appetite
Studies indicate that cutting carbs can automatically reduce your appetite and calorie intake.
Low-Carb Diets Lead to Weight Loss at First
Almost without exception, low-carb diets lead to more short-term weight loss than low-fat diets. However, low-carb diets seem to lose their advantage in the long term.
A Greater Proportion of Fat Loss Comes From Your Abdominal Cavity
A large percentage of the fat lost on low-carb diets tends to be harmful abdominal fat that is known to cause serious metabolic problems.
Triglycerides Tend to Drop Drastically
Low-carb diets are very effective at lowering blood triglycerides, which are fat molecules that increase your risk of heart disease.
Increased Levels of 'Good' HDL Cholesterol
Low-carb diets tend to be high in fat, which leads to an impressive increase in blood levels of “good” HDL cholesterol.
Reduced Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels
The best way to lower blood sugar and insulin levels is to reduce carb consumption, which may treat and possibly even reverse type 2 diabetes.
May Lower Blood Pressure
Cutting carbs leads to a significant reduction in blood pressure, which should reduce your risk of many common diseases.
Effective Against Metabolic Syndrome
Healthy low-carb diets effectively reverse all five key symptoms of metabolic syndrome, a serious condition which increases your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Improved 'Bad' LDL Cholesterol Levels
When you eat a low-carb diet, the size of your “bad” LDL particles increases, which reduces their harmful effects. Cutting carbs may also reduce the number of total LDL particles in your bloodstream.
Therapeutic for Several Brain Disorders
Low-carb and keto diets have proven beneficial in treating epilepsy in children and are being studied for their effects on other brain conditions.
