What is the Ketogenic Diet?

Wikipedia defines the ketogenic diet as a high-fat adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Ketogenic diet or Keto diet is like the Atkins diet. You cut back or cut out carbs that are easy to digest, like sugar, pasta, rice, white bread, pastries, sugary drinks, and starchy vegetables. It usually takes about 4 days on the low carb diet before your body starts burning your existing fat for energy and starting to loose weight. This is called ketosis.

What is Ketosis?

Ketosis is defined as a metabolic process that occurs when the body begins to burn fat for energy because it does not have enough carbohydrates to burn. The liver produces a chemical called ketones during this process.

What foods should you eat on the Keto Diet?

Fish and Seafood

Fatty fish like Salmon, Tuna, Sardines, Mackerel, Shrimp, some Crab, Shellfish, Clams, Oysters, and Squid are keto-friendly. It is healthy brain foods and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Two servings of seafood a week have vitamins, minerals and omega-3s.

Low-Carb Vegetables

Non starchy vegetables are best for the keto diet. These vegetables include Tomatoes, Eggplant, Asparagus, raw Spinach, cooked Brussels Sprouts, Kale, leafy greens, Cucumber, Bell peppers, Celery, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Zucchini. Beets, yams, and potatoes are the starchy vegetables to stay away from.

Cheese

Cheese is a low carb, high in saturated fat, contains protein and calcium. Natural cheeses, whole milk ricotta cheese, and whole milk cottage cheese are just a few of the cheese that are Keto friendly.

Avocados

Avocados are loaded with potassium, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Chicken, Pork, and Red Meat

Chicken and Red Meat are a large part of a Keto diet. If possible eat dark meat chicken and turkey. Venison, Pork, and Lamb are also great meat to eat on the Keto Diet. They contain vitamins, potassium, zinc, other minerals, protein, and have zero carbs. We have found an awesome source of grass-fed beef. Here is the link to US Wellness Meats.

Eggs

Eggs are high in protein, low carb, and contain antioxidants.

Nuts

Nuts are high in fiber. Brazil nuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and cashews are some of the best nuts to eat on the Keto Diet.

Unsweetened Coffee and Tea

Coffee and Tea are both zero carb and boost the metabolism.

Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate is Mike’s favorite chocolate fix when he is strictly on the Keto Diet. It contains antioxidants.

Good Fats

Olive oil, Avocado oil, Olives, Avocados, Flaxseeds, Chia seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, and natural, no sugar added nut butters are just a few of the good fats and oils that should been added to your Keto Diet.

What foods should you avoid while on the Keto Diet.

Beans, peas, lentils, peanuts, grains such as rice, pasta, and oatmeal, low-fat dairy products, added sugars and sweeteners, sugary beverages, juice and soda, traditional snack foods like potato chips, pretzels, and crackers, most fruits, starchy vegetables like corn and potatoes, trans fats like margarine and other hydrogentated fats, most alcohols like wine, beer and sweetened cocktails are some foods you should avoid while on the Keto Diet.

Why we started the Keto Diet.

Mike has been fighting to lose weight for a few years. He has not been diagnosed but we think he as an issue with insulin resistance. So we decided to try the Keto Diet and he as has had great success with it. Most of his meals are 6 ounces of a meat such as fish, seafood, chicken, or red meat, 5-7 cups of a cruciferous vegetables such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, and an avocado.

What is insulin resistance?

The Mayo Clinic describes insulin resistance as a resistance to the hormone insulin, resulting in increasing blood sugar.

The hormone insulin helps control the amount of glucose in the blood. The body’s cells don’t respond normally to insulin with insulin resistance. Glucose can’t enter the cells as easily, so it builds up in the blood. This can eventually lean to type 2 diabetes.

Can I do a Keto Diet without a gallbladder?

I had my gallbladder removed over a year ago and I have been doing the Keto Diet along with Mike. I had a few issues at first but after I started taking a daily probiotic vitamin for women, vitamin A 10,000 IU, vitamin K 100 MCG, vitamin K-2 100 MCG, Zinc 50 MG, vitamin D3 5,000 IU, vitamin C 1000 MG, Magnesium 500 MG, and vitamin E 400 IU. I have not had anymore problems. This worked for me and may not work for everyone. Please check with you Doctor before trying this.

We have tried several other Keto Pizza crusts and this is the best one we have found. I know it is not as good as the delivery pizza, but it is some much healthier for you.

I hope this answered some of your questions and helped you to understand a little more about the Keto Diet.
