Every diet or eating lifestyle has its pro and cons alongside challenges that make first timers find it harder to adopt. Before we get to see what mistakes or pitfalls come with Ketogenic diet, let's first understand what the diet entails. In a nutshell, the ketogenic diet emphasizes on increasing your intake of fat and protein while reducing your intake of carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet is meant to restrict carbohydrate intake in order to control your blood sugar levels. Since our body's main source of energy is glucose, if your body is low in glucose, the body is forced to find other sources of energy to sustain the body's metabolism processes. Once under the "starvation" mode, your body is said to undergo ketosis. Simply put ketosis is a process in which the liver begins to synthesize ketone bodies and fatty acids as alternative sources of fuel. The stored fats are thereby broken down in the liver into fatty acids and other products that we now call ketone bodies. The ketone bodies are then oxidized as the main energy source to provide fuel for your body in place of carbohydrates.

The ketogenic diet was initially designed to help people suffering from epilepsy but with the availability of epileptic drugs, the diet is not as effective for those suffering from epilepsy. However, there has been a lot of success with the diet being effective in helping people lose weight. For you to lose weight with the Keto diet plan, you need to restrict your carb intake to less than 50g in a day. You should then meet your daily calorie requirement from food sources that offer high amounts of fats and lean protein to sustain metabolic processes. With that understanding of the ketogenic diet, let us now look at how you can lose weight with the ketogenic diet.
