When you go keto you might as well be on a protein drip. The keto diet is a permanent shift to ketone metabolism, by supplying the body with end products that just happen to fit into a survival metabolism sequence called ketosis. In ketosis, your body extracts more energy from broken down foods component parts from the big three: proteins fats and carbs. The broken down components of your already digested food need the energy to be broken up even further- hence you lose weight if you can stick to a diet that barely supplies sugar in any form.
A keto diet is no more than 20% carbohydrates consistently. To achieve that guides have been produced: pictures on your cell, recipes, etc. More impressively, support for keto has benefited from the digital age of Amazon – it can all be delivered. www.seafood4unow.com can be typed into your cell, and voila!
Unlike Atkins, which Keto is often compared to, there is no eat fats only or predominately fats phase There is no go ahead and eat bacon and Cheetos ( to get your fat levels up phase.)1
Keto features more variety. One of those choices is fish. Fatty fish like salmon herring and sardines also have protein. Cooking them is easier and faster than cooking meat. Also fish are gluten-free- (gluten is a plant-based protein that suddenly people are sensitive to??…) So when fish are added to a keto lifestyle variety in fats and proteins makes it easier to keep 20%. The whole idea of maintaining 20% is to keep the body in a chemical state where the metabolism can take a lot of energy to break down the fat and proteins into reusable calories. One gram of good fat @ 9 calories and One gram of protein @ 4 calories requires even more energy to reassemble into something your body needs.

Early Atkins adherents had to fight off hunger pangs because the body often has to reach a starvation state in order to enable ketosis metabolism. You could also reach a ketosis state trough extreme exercise- risking muscle loss. Currently, when eating keto you do not suffer because you are not necessarily starving, Anyone can easily test your urine for ketones now at home.
