3 Major Ketogenic Diet Benefits

1. Aids Weight Loss

The ketogenic diet works by reducing carbohydrates from the diet, preventing too much insulin from being released during meals. With less insulin around, your body starts burning its own body fat for energy, helping you lose weight quickly. It’s not just burning the fat you consume — it’s burning body fat. That’s why it’s an effective way to burn fat fast.

2. Helps Fight Some Forms of Brain Cancer

A ketogenic diet is essentially a diet made up of typically 75 percent fat, 20 percent protein and 5 percent carbohydrates (may vary).

3. Ketogenic Diet May Benefit those with Brain Disorders (Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s Disease)

  • A diet made up of around 70 percent healthy fat helps the brain.
  • Ketosis and your body being able to burn fat for energy or utilize fatty acids is critical for the brain and for the prevention of dementia.

*Note:
The Ketogenic Diet is not suitable for many individuals and must be supervised by a qualified health practitioner.
