When it comes to weight loss, "there is no question that ketosis does work in the short term," Konstantinos Spaniolas, M.D., associate director of the Stony Brook Metabolic and Bariatric Weight Loss Center in New York. After all the carbohydrate stores are burned off, the body turns to fat stores to power its functions. The idea revolves around the understanding that our bodies burn carbohydrates first as fuel source when we need energy. Lastly, a measly 10 percent gives carbohydrates some wiggle room into your diet, so you can get a nibble of bread, rice, and pasta. Around 20 percent is dedicated to protein, like chicken, tofu, turkey, and beef. Following the keto diet means consuming about 60 to 80 percent of your calories from a source of fat-preferably healthy fats like olive oils, avocados, nuts, and eggs. It’s all about sticking to, well, the meats and the cheeses. Success stories aren’t hard to find- you probably know a person or two who have seen great success doing keto. But, it has picked up steam recently, thanks in part to the hoards of celebrities touting it as the reason they got in shape (if you’ve been waiting on the Jersey Shore cookbook, the Keto Guido Cookbook is here to answer your prayers). Its popularity has ebbed and flowed over the past hundred years. The ketogenic diet has been helping people lose weight since its humble beginnings as a treatment for epilepsy in the 1920s. MEAT AND CHEESE lovers, rejoice: a diet plan that allows you to keep your favorite foods that still helps you lose weight.
