mmm .. Bro , did you do any research into Ketogenic "diet" ?
Here is the fundamental confusion . Ketogenic diet is a 75% fat , 20% protien and 5% Carb. High Protien , Low carb diet is related to Atkins . This works for short term , but you gain back the same or double the weight. But high protien diet puts immense pressure on kidney and also some part of the protien after metabolism into amino acids , left over amino acids further gets broken down to glycogen which get used up as fuel by the cells or gets stored into fat around waist. This fat storage is assisted by insulin harmone that is hanging around. Insulin is secreted everytime food enters your body . Fundamentally you are not attacking / addressing the metabolic issues that is driving the fat storage. Body gets energy from a) Carbs "Glucose , fructose etc" b) Protiens . c) Fats "lipids : Saturated , unsaturated" . Bases on one's insulin levels , liver breaks down above a) and b) into fuel . The glycogen / energy that is made from carbs and protiens , when it is unsued gets stored in the fat cells and hence the waist line . Insuin is a double edged sword , it shuttles energy to cells and also excess energy in the form of glucogen is storted in fat cells"adipose tissue". But Human body is a wonderful machine , the cells can take energy from Glycogen or Ketones . Primary source for Ketones is fat aka lipids. Ketogenic diet is the process of adapting body to use fat as a fuel source . When you enter Ketosis , that is when you switch your body to use Ketones as fuel for energy , that is when the wonders happen .Ketones are like clean fuel , which generate very few free Radicals , when compared to glycogen. The cancer cells in the body can only take glycogen as fuel , healthy cells can take both sources ketones and glycogen for fuel. I can go on on and on ...  kanapade nijam: Good manners , kanapadanidhi: abusive language |
