Discover the health benefits of a keto diet 

With so many different diets out there, it is difficult to know which one will work best for your individual goals and keep you feeling both happy and healthy. This week we are diving into the ‘Keto Diet’ to understand what the craze is all about!

What is the keto diet

A keto diet focuses on reducing the level of carbohydrates in our meals and replacing them with high fat foods. The scientific reasoning for this is that when carb consumption is reduced and replaced with fat, the body then enters a state of ketosis. During this process your metabolism becomes higher and is able to burn fat more easily and create more energy.

Keto diet foods

There are strict rules to abide by when it comes to following a ketogenic diet and eating the most beneficial foods, in order to get the most out of the diet. A meal plan and keto ingredients list are a great way to maintain a nutritious diet and to manage your daily carb intake. Here are some foods that you should include in your everyday meals:

  • Meat

  • Fish - aim for high fat fish such as salmon, tuna or trout

  • Eggs 

  • Dairy - milk, butter, cream

  • Nuts and seeds

  • Vegetables - only low carb vegetables such as green vegetables, avocados, onions and peppers

  • Herbs and spices

Health benefits 

By following this diet, you can expect many advantageous health benefits. The most well known benefit is the ability to lose weight whilst enjoying a keto diet as research has shown that you can still feel full after a healthy keto dinner rather than the typical low fat diet. 

Another interesting health benefit includes an improved quality of life for those who have type 2 diabetes as by burning off the excess fat is burnt off, the side effects of diabetes on the body are reduced.
