Intro

This is my blog about all things keto. When searching ketosis on the net you will probably find a lot of information on diabetes or weight loss. This information can be very scattered and misleading, so what is ketosis exactly? There is a lot of confusion about the term ketosis among medical professionals as well as laypeople and it is important to understand when and why nutritional ketosis occurs, and what the benefits of being in ketosis can be. Basically it is when you cut way back on your carbs intake, and up your fat intake, forcing your body will switch into the ketosis metabolic state secreting ketones (fat) for energy instead of using glucose (sugar). The list of benefits from being in this state of ketosis span from curing for a vast number of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, and slowing alzheimer and parkensons progression, to being just a flat out awesome way to loose fat and maintain a healthy weight. The ketogenic diet was originally developed almost 100 years ago to treat epilepsy. Nowadays, it is used as a nutrition plan by health-conscious men and women to optimize body composition and athletic performance. There is a long list of benefits from going keto and in this blog there will be keto related discussion, informative posts, recipes, and tips and tricks to starting or continuing a ketogenic life style.
