The Home for Ketogenic Diets

I started Keto in February after years of trying restrictive diets and cycling/fasting that just wasn’t cutting it. I’d see fat loss results but I’d feel like absolute crap and would still look puffy, so keto it was. For reference I’m 25, F, ~125lbs (starting 130lbs) and I train for and run marathons annually. My motivation for keto is to see more muscle definition in combination with more strength training, and to see if it aids my PCOS. I’ve laddered/cycled between mostly restrictive ~1200cal and occasional days of 1800 cals. Macros have been pretty solidly 74% fat, 20% protein and 6% carbs, though occasionally carbs and protein will be higher on days I have more cals.

Anyway, starting out I knew I had a huge hurdle: my snack obsession. I not only did I love to snack throughout the day, but I love good tasting snacks, and let’s be honest

a review of the therapeutic uses of very-low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diets

Strong evidence

Weight loss

There is no doubt that there is strong supportive evidence that the use of ketogenic diets in weight-loss therapy is effective; however, there are contrasting theories regarding the mechanisms through which they work. Some researchers suggest that there are not in fact any metabolic advantages in low-carbohydrate diets and that weight loss results simply from reduced caloric intake, probably due to the increased satiety effect of protein.12 Others instead promote the hypothesis that there is indeed a distinct metabolic advantage, which has recently been explored in more detail, raising interest in the role of VLCKD in weight loss and effects on metabolism in general.13 The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, has in effect controlled the concepts for the basis of weight loss for over a century—resulting in a difficulty in accepting other ways of thinking.

Best and worst diets for 2020, ranked by experts

“The hallmarks of a ‘best’ diet include balance, maintainability, palatability, family-friendliness, sustainability, along with healthfulness. The Mediterranean diet gets checkmarks in all of those boxes,” said Yale University Prevention Research Center founding director Dr. David Katz, who was one of 25 judges on the U.S. News and World Report panel.

“It’s no surprise that the Mediterranean diet remains the No. 1 best diet overall,” said nutritionist Lisa Drayer, a CNN contributor. “It’s easy to follow and offers a healthy eating lifestyle. “

Meals from the sunny Mediterranean have been linked to stronger bones, a healthier heart, a lower risk of dementia and breast cancer, and longer life, along with a reduced risk for diabetes and high blood pressure.

The diet focuses on eating less red meat, sugar and saturated fat and more Omega-3-rich fish and olive oil. Red wine can be enjoyed in moderation and socializing with friends and family
