Advantages of Ketogenic Diet

Posted by ProGen Weight Management on January 22nd, 2020

The word Ketogenic or Keto comes from “ketones” which are small fuel molecules that are produced in our body by the intake of the low-carb diet. A Ketogenic diet is a low-carb diet, which can help in burning fats adequately. It is also used in medicines to treat difficult-to-control cramps in children.

Ketones are an alternative fuel source for the body, which helps in maintaining the blood sugar content in our body. Ketones are produced by the intake of foods that can be quickly broken down into blood sugar and a moderate amount of proteins (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar).

This is helpful when a person is trying to lose weight, as there are also other benefits, such as controlled hunger and a steady supply of energy. This keeps a person alert and focused. During the production of Ketones, our body enters a metabolic state. The effective way to get their keto diet is by eating a low carbs diet and also it results in ketosis.

Ketogenic Diets are of different types:

SKD (Standard ketogenic diet) CKD (Cyclical ketogenic diet)
Low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat diet. 75% fat, 20% protein, and only 5% carbs. This diet includes periods of higher-carb refeeds, such as five ketogenic days followed by two high-carb days.
TKD (Targeted ketogenic diet) HKD (High-protein ketogenic diet)
In this diet carbs, are added around workouts. It includes more protein. The ratio is around 60% fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbs.

The standard (SKD) version is the most considered and supported diet method. Cyclical or targeted ketogenic diets are the types of the diet which are primarily used by bodybuilders or athletes, therefore, they are considered as an advanced method.

The ProGen Method is a medical treatment based on a ketogenic diet. The ProGen Method’s ketogenic diet reduces your intake of fats and sugars while providing all the protein you need for your body to function optimally by way of its specially designed products.
