What is keto?


What Is It?

The ketogenic diet is a very low carb, high fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low carb diets.

It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.

When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain.

Ketogenic diets can cause significant reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has some health benefits.

It lowers blood sugar and insulin levels and shifts the body’s metabolism away from carbs and toward fat and ketones.

There are several versions of the keto diet. The standard (SKD) version is the most researched and most recommended. 

Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This is a very low carb, moderate protein and high fat diet. It typically contains 70% fat, 20% protein, and only 10% carbs.

Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This diet involves periods of higher carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high carb days.

Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts.

High protein ketogenic diet: This is similar to a standard ketogenic diet, but includes more protein. The ratio is often 60% fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbs.

People use a ketogenic diet most often to lose weight, but it can help manage certain medical conditions, like epilepsy, too. It also may help people with heart disease, certain brain diseases, and even acne, but there needs to be more research in those areas. Talk with your doctor first to find out if it’s safe for you to try a ketogenic diet, especially if you have type 1 diabetes.

Whey protein vs Soy Protein

  Whey Protein Whey protein products have always been seen in the last 50 years or so as the perfect protein supplement one should take. When it comes down to other types of protein, Whey surpasses all of them when it comes to building muscle due to its rich amount of amino acids that also aid in the strengthening of bones and the immune system. When we consume whey protein, not only is it digested and absorbed more easily than other protein sources, but we also digest and absorb almost 100% of the whey protein we consume. This is why Whey protein has become the ultimate muscle building post workout protein shake.  Soy Protein Soybeans are a type of legume that are naturally high in protein while remaining relatively low in fat. To create soy protein, manufacturers grind soybeans into a meal which contains no hulls or fat. This soy protein isolate is then sold in powder form.
