7 Benefits of Short Term KETO

The Keto Diet- a way of eating consisting of low carb, moderate protein & high fat foods. The dietary macronutrients are based off an estimate of 60% fats, 25-35% protein & 5-10% carbohydrates. 

The ketogenic diet was first coined to treat epilepsy in 1921. It was mainly used as a therapeutic diet for epilepsy and was widely used amongst the people.  In recent years, the ketogenic diet resurfaced as a rapid weight loss formula.

It works by forcing the body to enter a state of ketosis when it low/no carbohydrate is detected in the body. This concept has shown to be an effective weight loss method in many individuals and has also helped in reversing diabetes type 2, metabolic syndrome and a few other illnesses. 

However, the long term effects of this diet are still within question due to lack of fair & substantial research. But based on the results of multiple case studies, we can be very sure that there are definitely many short term benefits involved.

Weight Loss -  As if there isn’t enough success stories of KETO weight loss circulating all around social media and the WWW. The initial phase of a ketogenic diet will remove one of the first inhibitors to weight lost, water retention. Actual fat loss will progress over time as one stays in the diet for a longer period of time. Many times, the amount of weight loss desired and diabetes control are the most common reasons of staying in a KETO diet for the long term.

Commitment free Trial – Switching diets can be scary, uncomfortable & inconvenient.

During a short term KETO, you will take this time to better understand how this Way of Eating works, whether it is suitable for you, how your body reacts towards it and access whether it is a diet that fits your lifestyle.    

Improved Energy Levels – Due to the nutrient density & macros of a Low Carb Healthy Fats, KETO diet, the occurrence of sugar crash or brain fog is almost non-existent. Once the body learns how effectively run on ketones, mental clarity & improved endurance will become more apparent.
