Healthy Dieting

You are about to enter a whole new world of health, good looks, energy and fat loss. It’s called Ketogenics.

Within the first two weeks on Ketogenics, you are likely to lose a remarkable amount of weight, usually between 4 and 12 pounds if you are a woman, and 8 to 16 pounds if you are a man. From then on, you can steadily shed from % to 2 pounds of stored fat a week, while you marvel at your body reshaping itself to a new sleek firmness without hunger. More importantly, during the next few weeks you can discover just how wonderful it is possible to feel following a high-nutrient/low-carbohydrate diet.

But Ketogenics is not in any real sense a diet at all. It’s a scientifically based method for shifting your body out of a static vegetative state into a dynamic – and completely natural – fat-burning mode. At the same time it helps re-establish healthy blood sugar and insulin levels, and helps to eliminate insulin resistance or Syndrome X, which is undermining the health of vast numbers of people throughout the world. It does this by eliminating the wrong kind of carbohydrate foods from your diet, and shifting the balance between the right kind of carbs/fats and protein.

KETOGENICS:

Reduces the levels of insulin in the blood, making sure your stored body fat can be metabolised for energy Protects valuable muscle tissue and keeps metabolism high so that you never get any diet rebound after weight is lost

Lowers the amount of glucose that can be stored as fat and creates a state in the body of dietary ketosis, which not only enables your body to burn fat as energy but also has a remarkable rejuvenating effect on it

Is the safest and fastest way to normalise blood sugar and hyperinsulinaemia while shedding excess body fat When your carbohydrate intake is low enough your metabolism shifts from a glucose-based method of burning energy to one that uses its own fat stores

Once ketosis is established, your body goes on burning fat stores while you eat, while you sleep, while you work – even while you meditate on how much better you are going to look and feel in a few weeks‘ time

Ketogenics helps restore insulin balance and glucose balance in your body.

Dramatic Cut

Right at the very beginning, you’ll reduce your carbohydrate intake dramatically to help your body enter fat-burning mode quickly and effectively. Don’t worry, you are not going to be doing this for long – just until your metabolism gets used to turning its attention away from using glucose as a source of energy, towards burning fat stores. Based on a maximum of 20 per cent of calories from carbohydrates, 30 per cent from fat and a minimum of 50 per cent from protein, Ketogenics uses only carbohydrates with both low density and a low glycaemic rating in its salads and cooked vegetable dishes. The beneficial fats we’ve been reading about – omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils in particular, monounsaturated omega-9 oils like extra-virgin olive and grapeseed oils, and tropical coconut oil for cooking – are all vital to the plan.

Even during the first three weeks of Ketogenics you will by no means be eliminating all carbohydrates. You will only be lowering the level of your carbs to 20g a day and increasing your protein to 150g a day for the same period. After that, you yourself will be able to monitor how and when to increase carbs, and by how much.

The carbohydrates you eat on Ketogenics will come mostly from vegetables rich in phyto-nutrients, either served raw in gorgeous, well-dressed salads, or lightly steamed, wok-fried, baked or pureed. You can even have a little of the right kind of fruit if you wish. What this first three-week period will do for you is force your body to enter fat-burning mode by using up all of the stored energy that came from previously eaten carbohydrate foods.

An End To Hunger

And – great news – as soon as you enter ketosis, usually within a few days, you will not feel hungry. Nor will you ever need to count calories. There is no limit to the amount of protein foods you can eat in the first three weeks, but you need to ensure that you get at least 150g per day. Nor is there any limit to the amount of fat that you eat, so long as it is healthy fat. What you won’t be eating are all of the cereals, breads, pastas and sweets you may be used to. For it is these carbohydrate- based foods, especially refined sugars, that caused you to lay fat down on your body in the first place.
