Keto diet is pretty famous now a days and while this word has crossed everyones ears.. there are still many who ask.. “What is the keto diet?” Keep reading to know what this new keto diet is!

The ketogenic diet is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.  When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain. Ketogenic diets can cause massive reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has numerous health benefits.

Different Types of Ketogenic Diets

There are several versions of the ketogenic diet, including:

Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This is a very low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat diet. It typically contains 75% fat, 20% protein and only 5% carbs.

Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This diet involves periods of higher-carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high-carb days.

Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts.

High-protein ketogenic diet: This is similar to a standard ketogenic diet, but includes more protein. The ratio is often 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs.

However, only the standard and high-protein ketogenic diets have been studied extensively. Cyclical or targeted ketogenic diets are more advanced methods and primarily used by bodybuilders or athletes. The information in this article mostly applies to the standard ketogenic diet (SKD), although many of the same principles also apply to the other versions.

A Sample Keto Meal Plan For 5 Days

To help get you started, here is a sample ketogenic diet meal plan for one week:

Monday

  • Breakfast:Eggs and tomatoes.
  • Lunch:Chicken salad with olive oil and feta cheese.
  • Dinner:Chicken with asparagus cooked in butter.

  • Lunch:Almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder and milkshake.
  • Dinner:Meatballs, cheddar cheese and vegetables.

  • Dinner:Meat chops with Parmesan cheese, broccoli and salad.

  • Lunch:A handful of nuts and celery sticks.
  • Dinner:Chicken stuffed with pesto and cream cheese, along with vegetables.

Friday

  • Breakfast:Sugar-free yogurt with peanut butter, cocoa powder.
  • Lunch:Beef stir-fry cooked in coconut oil with vegetables.
  • Dinner:Bun-less burger with meat, egg and cheese.

Always try to rotate the vegetables and meat over the long term, as each type provides different nutrients and health benefits.
