How to Succeed on the Keto Diet

The keto diet is all about helping you lose weight the non-conventional way, not through eating less, but through eating fewer carbs and more fats.

Ketogenic diet food, such as vegetables, fish, meat, cheese and nuts,

Traditionally, your body converts carbohydrates into energy to fuel your body for day-to-day living, working, and physical activity. With keto, because carb stores are low, your body switches to drawing energy from fats, using up your fat stores so that you lose weight; a process known as Ketosis.

There are different ways to do keto though, depending on the results that you’re looking for and how soon you want to achieve them. If you’re looking more to maintain your weight, a less restrictive form of keto might be the best option, where you still eat close to the normal macronutrient ratio. For those looking to lose weight slowly and sustainably, a medium-level keto is a great option, as while there are fewer carbs than for a weight-sustaining keto, it isn’t quite as restrictive as a strict keto, which requires strong restrictions of carbs and sees swifter changes as a result.

Lifesum covers all levels of keto. They have a easy, medium and strict keto diet plans where your carb intake ranges from as much as 27% of daily calories to as little as 5%.
