Are you looking to turbocharge your weight loss with Keto and the Ideal Protein Protocol?  If so, you have landed in the right place. As you are probably aware, that “Keto” has been immensely popular and mainstream for the past couple of years, and with good reason. The ketogenic diet is effective, and it is at the heart of the Ideal Protein program here in Omaha at La Vie Center for Health & Weight Loss.

What is Ketosis?

Yes, you have heard of the Keto diet but what exactly is ketosis and how can it be beneficial to you? The term nutritional ketosis is when your body enters a metabolic state in which it burns fat for fuel instead of glucose.

The keto diet involves eating foods that are low in carbohydrates and high in fat, which induces a state of ketosis in the body. Ketosis occurs when the body runs out of its default fuel source, glucose. Glucose most often comes from carbohydrates, a result of the body breaking down carbs into sugar. When your body isn’t getting enough fuel from carbs, it will look for energy from its second favorite fuel source, fats.

This is what makes keto so effective: its ability to turn you into a fat-burning machine, thus turbocharge your weight loss. This involves the breakdown of fat (fatty acids) which creates what are called ketone bodies. These ketones replace glucose as the main source of energy.  The longer you are in a state of ketosis, the more efficient your brain and body utilize the ketones. What many like to call being “fat adapted”. But eating high fat and low carb and forgetting about everything else is not the right strategy. Many doing the DIY Keto or also “Dirty Keto” are often consuming too much fat and protein.

How do you know when you are in ketosis?

Before you enter a state of ketosis, you most likely experience a phase of adaption which can include several symptoms. This is mainly due to the carbohydrate withdrawal which may include what is known as “the keto flu”, headaches, nausea, fatigue, irritability, and light-headedness. These symptoms may persist for a few days or weeks.

What are the health benefits of ketosis?

The most talked about benefits are fat burning, body re-composition, etc. Some of the other benefits that we hear from our clients are, your mood and mental health may in fact improve. Others also report that they experience improved mental clarity and memory.

Another benefit is the increased energy. How this works? When your body enters a ketogenic state, it utilizes your adipose tissue to provide you with more sustained energy without that constant urge to eat. Reduced hunger is another benefit of being in ketosis.

Nutritional ketosis is constantly being researched by scientists to study the roles it may play in many different conditions such as diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and it was originally designed to treat epilepsy in young children, the diet has since expanded to help anyone who is seeking rapid and efficient weight loss.
