Many people have gained a little weight through the quarantine, especially if they hadn’t been exercising. Staying at home for months and not working out is bound to result in an extra gain of weight, especially if you fill your free time with stacks.
There are lots of ways to lose weight such as working out or starting a diet. However, not everyone is equipped for a hard workout. Instead, why not start dieting and do a moderate workout. But there’s another problem that comes at hand. What diet will best suit you? In my opinion, the keto diet is the best there is!
What is Keto Diet?
The keto diet, otherwise known as the ketogenic diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet. More than 20 studies have proved that this diet can help you lose weight and improved overall body health. Aside from losing weight, it helps fight against cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy.
This diet shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets.
By drastically reducing the intake of carbohydrates and replacing them with fat, your body’s metabolic state turns into a state called ketosis. This means that your body is very efficient and burning fat for energy. Combining this diet with workouts can help you reduce body weight drastically. Additionally, it can help turn fat into ketones in the liver, allowing a supply of energy for the brain.
The diet can also cause a big reduction in blood sugar and insulin levels.
