Why is the Keto Plan so good at fighting inflammation?
By putting your body into a state of ketosis, the plan helps you burn fat as fuel and activate genes responsible for the health and function of your detoxification pathways. It promotes healthier cell function while reducing the inflammation storm generated by high carb diets.
What are ketones?
Ketones are a by-product of fat metabolism which your body and brain can use as a slow-burning, efficient source of fuel. Ketosis allows you to consume far fewer carbohydrates while simultaneously increasing your energy. Less blood sugar means less insulin, and as insulin levels fall and your body requires energy your liver produces ketones to fuel your body. Your brain can also use ketones as an alternative fuel source when blood levels of ketones are high enough to cross the blood-brain barrier. It can take up to four days for your body to enter a state of ketosis and start converting to using body fat as fuel.
Is it healthy to eat that much fat?
Your brain is comprised of 60% fat. In order for the brain to work optimally, it needs a lot of energy. From an evolutionary and biological standpoint, the most sustainable form of energy comes from healthy fats.
Will I be hungry?
The plan consists 1600 calories, 40 grams of carbs, 70 grams of protein, 125 grams of fat. Because of the high percentage of fat, keto keeps you feeling full.
