Food, Fitness, and Keto – How Can You Go Wrong?

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi May 3, 2018
Boosting Calorie Burn

Nowadays, it seems like there are literally a million different fad diets out there and they all promise to be a guaranteed way to lose fat faster than all the rest. With so much hyperbole and biased marketing, how can you really know which diets live up to their reputations? Well, the best way to know that you’re following a diet regimen that works is to only opt for those that are based on fully provable scientific concepts, such as the ketogenic diet, also known as “keto.”

In this diet, you force your metabolism to enter a state of ketosis, during which time it burns fat for fuel instead of carbs. You do this by consuming lots of fat, a moderate amount of protein, and no carbs or sugars. With that basic introduction out of the way, below is a more thorough explanation of why combining fitness with keto is easily one of the best diets in terms of results and ease of sustaining.

Food, Fitness, and Keto - How Can You Go Wrong?

The Foods

After all, this is a diet so you’re already apprehensive about it being overly restrictive and eliminating many of your favorite foods. The good news is, if you’ve been hesitant to take up raw food, you’ll be happy to start a keto diet because you can still eat plenty of meats and other cooked foods. The main rule of thumb to follow is to stay under 20-30 carbs per day total.

This will mean cutting out all processed sugars and even most fruits that are high in sugar. Of course, you could also mix things up with keto shakes, but be sure to do your research and read reviews before choosing a product. If you are looking to see which supplements and shakes are the best on the market, you could always check out a “KetoForce review” or two.

The Fitness

Although the keto diet itself will ensure that you’re losing weight at a gradual pace, if you want to speed things up a bit and tone and shape your physique, you’ll want to throw in an exercise regimen as well. Someone with minimal exercise experience may be dreading this challenge, but in reality, you can dramatically boost your weight loss efforts by devoting no more than 30 minutes of your day to exercising. Start out slow/simple and gradually increase the difficulty/time as you feel comfortable doing so.

The Results

The best thing about combining fitness with keto is that even if you don’t do much exercise at all, the keto diet will be boosting the results exponentially. In fact, you could exercise three times as hard on a regular diet and still not lose as much weight as you would on a ketogenic diet that also incorporates exercise.

Literally, Anyone Can Do It

Cutting out sugars is usually the hardest part of a ketogenic diet, but it’s also the most beneficial part as well. On the other hand, if you’re worried about whether you can adhere to such a diet because you enjoy fruits and sugars too much, you may want to consider vegan ketogenic diets or raw food diets that don’t operate based on the ketogenic concept, but they are also not known to be as effective either. The idea is to burn body fat for energy instead of sugar and that’s why the keto diet is superior – see for yourself. It’s amazing!

Selecting the right food will be easier as you become accustomed to the Keto approach. Instead of lean meats, you’ll focus on skin-on poultry, fattier parts like chicken thighs, rib-eye steaks, grass-fed ground beef, fattier fish like salmon, beef brisket or pork shoulder, and bacon. Leafy greens such as spinach, kale and lettuce, along with broccoli, cauliflower and cucumbers, make healthy vegetable choices (but you’ll avoid starchy root foods like carrots, potatoes, turnips and parsnips). You can work in less-familiar veggies such as kohlrabi or daikon.Oils like avocado, olive, canola, flaxseed and palm, as well as mayonnaise will flavor salads while fattening them up. Clarified butter, or ghee, is a fat you’ll use for cooking or as a spread.Start your day with a nut butter-boosted latte, coffee or tea, or have bacon and eggs as a breakfast staple. Stick with whole-fat milk, cheese and other whole dairy products. Use stevia to replace sugar and artificial sweeteners.In “Keto in 28,” author Michelle Hogan details her four-week plan.

Many people eat too quickly and have overloaded themselves before their stomach signals their brain that “I’ve had more than enough.Eat more fruit and veggies, and a variety. They’re loaded with helpful vitamins and minerals, and aid your body in myriad ways. Mix in lots of whole-grain foods, as well. Avoid processed foods. Carraro suggests actively increasing entire foods with reduced processing.It produces less waste and often leads to better choices. Again, start slowly. “Meal planning could be daunting, so focus on one meal a time and build-up from there,” Carraro stated. “It could become a habit that is sustainable.” best sweetener for keto diet
