    Chapter 1: An Introduction to Keto

    ––––––––

    The ketogenic diet is often called 'keto' for short. The name refers to the process of ketosis that your body goes into when you eliminate carbohydrates from your diet and replace them with fats. In this diet, you will be eliminating carbohydrates, but not completely.  You will still be eating between twenty to thirty grams of net carbohydrates on a standard keto diet. 'Net' refers to the number of carbohydrates you are left with after removing the carbohydrates from fiber, as your body expels fiber instead of processing those carbohydrates as sugars.

    Along with eliminating most carbohydrates, you will still be having a moderate amount of protein. There is a high-protein version of the ketogenic diet, which we will go into later on in this chapter, but most versions balance a moderate amount of protein so that you are getting enough to feel energized and prevent muscle atrophy.

    Though you will eat a significant amount of fats on the ketogenic diet, you need to ensure that these are healthy fats. Vegetable fats such as corn and soy oils are not beneficial to the body. On the other hand, olive oil, avocados, coconut oil, macadamia nuts, sesame seeds, and many other oils offer a wide range of health benefits. If you learn about these fats and their abundance of health-promoting compounds you can add balanced proportions of them to your ketogenic meal plan, not just helping you lose weight but help you gain better
