KETOSIS

The ketogenic diet has gained popularity with many people. It is based on intermittent fasting and high fat, medium protein and low carbohydrate foods, which puts your body into ketosis. This means that your body will start to burn fat, rather than carbohydrates, as fuel. In the 1920s, it gained popularity in treating epilepsy and, more recently, there is some research showing it may be used to help to improve longevity, other health issues and weight loss – where fast weight loss may occur, and the craving for sweet foods and carbohydrates disappears. Many claim they feel healthier and more energised following this diet.
