The Ketogenic Diet was first known as a therapy for epilepsy in the 1920s and 30s. But data about it proving effective for Autism, Type II Diabetes, Weight Loss and other disorders have been emerging because it is also being explored for other uses. The Keto Diet’s popularity has increased worldwide and is considered one of the most popular diets by experts.<\/p>\n
It seems like everybody is trying the trend as thousands have shown their transformation. Even celebrities and fitness enthusiasts swore by how effective the diet is. No wonder various recipes are flooding the web and different books have been published as well.<\/p>\n
The Keto Diet involves reducing carbohydrate intake and upping fat intake. This forces the body to use a different kind of fuel. Instead of relying on sugar that comes from carbohydrates, it burns fat as fuel. This means you should avoid foods that are much higher in carbs, like rice, bread, donut, cakes and pasta and should focus on eating meat, eggs and vegetables growing above ground.<\/p>\n
Now this may feel like a form of deprivation, specially that the mentioned foods above that you should avoid are considered as comfort foods, foods that are consumed to reward yourself or to just make you feel better. Now imagine giving up bread or desserts just because it is against the Keto Diet plan. Is it worth to give up that happy intoxication you get right after taking that first bite of bread or that delicious dessert you have always been craving for? Are you willing to surrender those yummy treats just so it will not add inches to your waistline?<\/p>\n
