Known more formally as “the ketogenic diet,” keto eating is one of the hottest health trends of the year. According to Google’s 2016 Trend Report, the term “Ketogenic diet” was in the fifth most-searched for diet term searched for last year. Interestingly the keto diet is not a new way of eating. Nor was it originally intended for weight loss. Created in the 1920s as a fringe diet to help epileptics, and has slowly and quietly grown into a diet industry phenomenon. This fat-heavy, carb-shy diet is thought to help heal nervous system disorders (such as epilepsy, seizure disorder and tic disorder), as well as metabolic disorders (including diabetes 1 & 2 and cardiovascular disease). And although it sounds counter-intuitive to expect weight loss while scarfing down large amounts of high-calorie fat, Ketogenic eating is said to help eaters slim down, as well.

About Ketones | the basics of the keto diet | low carb diet and keto diet

Image
A ketone is a an organic compound containing a carbonyl group =C=O bonded to two hydrocarbon groups, made by oxidizing secondary alcohols. Or, in simple English, ketones (also known as “ketone bodies”) are chemicals produced by your liver as it breaks down fat for energy. Usually, your body uses insulin to turn carbs into energy. However, when it can’t find enough carbs to make into energy, your body uses fat. Your liver turns this fat into ketones, a type of acid, and sends them into your bloodstream.

Other factors (lack of sleep, eating too often, stress, dehydration) can also hinder your body’s ability to reach ketosis. There are three ways to test your body’s ketone levels: Breath, urine, and blood. Each has pros and cons, and each measures ketones in a slightly different way. Read more...

Low-Carb Keto Hummus | ketogenic diet meals

Hummus is a healthy, easy, portable dip, dressing, spread and more. Except that it is on the carb-heavy side. This version, which uses steamed cauliflower or raw zucchini (you choose) for the chickpeas, is a great alternative.
