Foods That Become A Part Of The Ketogenic Diet

By Armando Rodriguez


There are several weight loss programs that you must have come across; there are different diets and exercises programs that you will be referred to. One such very effective and successful weight loss program is Ketogenic diet. It is a simple process of following a diet; here the food with high fat and low carbohydrate content is consumed.

Now it is require understanding how the Ketogenic plan works and what is the ketosis process. In order to get your body in the Ketogenic state, it is essential that you start eating food with high content and low protein and low or either no carbs in them.

The general ratio content for the food is around 70-80% fat to 20-30% protein. This is the minimum content for the first few days of the process. Now as you go deeper in to the process, you will have to increase the protein content and decrease the fat content. It is important to increase the protein intake as it is essential for the repairs of the muscle.

It is very important for you to count the carbohydrates that you consume and make proper calculation of how much is needed and how can you lower the consumption. There are different levels of carb drop that show different effects in the body, you have to keep this in mind, whether you are looking to lose weight quickly, just start by average drop in fats or you want to get lean muscle mass and maintain it.

When carbohydrates are not available for the body as an energy source, then the body starts looking for a new source of energy, body fat. Thus it works beautifully for the body to lose the body fats. In search for energy the body breakdowns the body fat and converts it into energy instead of converting carbs. This state of converting fats to energy and not carbs is called ketosis. This is the state in which people want their body to be in, as this helps them to lose belly fat, without losing muscles.

Eggs are one of the common ingredients in the keto plan, you can use them as omelette, consume them as after being hard boiled and it is also used as a pizza crust to have a low carb meal. For people that like to eat eggs, it becomes a good weight loss success. Bacon also becomes an important item in the weight loss plan, whether in breakfast, salad garnish or burger topper and other dishes.

Cream cheese is also an active keto diet ingredient; there are several recipes where cream cheese is used. You can also use sprinkled cheese, sprinkling them over tacos, adding them as salad toppings, or to prepare low carb pizza. Spinach can also be used in the keto plan; you can use all kinds of green vegetables to eat as salads. Cauliflower is also a great Ketogenic fruit. You can simply bake the vegetable with olive oil, add some smashed potatoes and eat it.

Being in the state of ketosis ensures that you do not consume more carbs and burn the fats present in the body. However, when you load up with carbohydrates in the weekends, it makes you feel full without containing high body fat. This becomes helpful when you go for parties in the weekends.
