When we think about cutting carbs, we think about eating less bread, cutting pasta, avoiding rice. And all of these, to some extent, are correct and effective.

That is until it comes to Ketogenic dieting. If you’re trying to lose weight on the ketogenic diet, simply eating less of certain food groups isn’t going to cut it.

The goal is to bring your body to a state where it can no longer rely on your carbohydrate intake as a source of energy, so that it starts to burn fat for fuel instead. When this happens, ketones, little molecules produced by the liver from fatty acids, are released into your body in a state known as ketosis, and your weight starts to shift (even the stubborn bits!).

Ketosis has proven to be a very effective way of losing weight, and more and more people are adopting ketogenic diets. We get why. The challenge is, that it can be pretty difficult to achieve ketosis, as it requires a very careful consideration of every gram of fat and carbs you eat.
