Ketogenic Weight-Loss

How Ketogenics Can Help You Burn Fat

Ketogenic Weight Loss

Are you looking for a diet that can help you burn fat without feeling deprived? Ketogenics and the state of ketosis can be the solution. Your chiropractor in Anchorage AK True Life Chiropractic offers ketogenics in Anchorage, including education, diet plans and support.

What Exactly Is Ketosis?

Ketosis is a metabolic state that naturally occurs in the body. During ketosis, the body produces ketones from fat cells and uses fat for energy – not carbs. The state of ketosis is achieved by eating few carbs and instead making fat and protein the focus of one’s diet. This is called a ketogenic diet.

Eating minimal carbs limits the body’s access to sugar, or glucose. Normally, the cells seek out glucose as their preferred source of fuel and energy. However, fat is not burned when energy is acquired and used in this way. Ketosis is by nature a fat burning state in the body.

Ketogenics Chiropractor Gives Guidance and Support

Since fat is being burned for fuel, it is naturally diminished and the individual in ketosis loses weight. Your ketogenics chiropractor True Life Chiropractic can help you to get started with this innovative eating plan.

Ketosis is generally achievable by eating 50 or fewer grams of carbohydrates in a day. Some ketogenic dieters take in just 20 grams of carbs per day. You should consult a health professional before beginning this or any type of diet plan.

Healthy carbs such as those found in vegetables are preferable to unhealthy carbs that are sugar-based. As such, the ketogenic diet calls for avoiding certain foods completely, including sugary soft drinks, baked goods, bread, grains, candy, potatoes, legumes and even fruit.

Scientific Research Has Verified the Effectiveness of the Ketogenic Diet

Studies have consistently shown that a ketogenic diet is more effective than a low-fat diet when it comes to fat and weight loss. One study in particular found that the rate of fat loss was more than two times faster on a ketogenic diet than a calorie-restricted low fat diet.

Eating more fat and protein also gives people a full and satisfied feeling between meals versus other diets. Ketogenic diets are generally not calorie-restrictive, so those who are on them tend to never feel deprived.

In addition to fat and weight loss benefits, ketogenic diets have also been linked with reducing risk and incidents of:

  • Heart disease
  • Cholesterol problems
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Metabolic syndrome (high triglycerides, elevated blood pressure and excess belly fat)
  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Cancer
  • Acne and related skin conditions
