The goal is to acquire more calories from protein and fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates. You cut back on easy-to-digest carbs like sugar, soda, pastries, and white bread the most. A keto diet consists mostly of high fats, moderate protein, and very low carbs. The macronutrients in the diet are roughly divided into 55% to 60% fat, 30% to 35% protein, and 5% to 10% carbs. Carbohydrates range from 20 to 50 g per day in a 2000 kcal per day diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/beatoapp.com\/\/lps\/inapp-beato-paid-coach-consult-web?id=2400330&#038;campaignid=2400330&#038;source=2400330&#038;utm_content=%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F2670\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png\" class=\" wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-768x225.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-420x123.png 420w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-840x246.png 840w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-150x44.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_a_Keto_Diet_Work\"><\/span>How Does a Keto Diet Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The ketogenic diet is based on the idea that by depriving the body of glucose\u2014the primary source of energy for all cells in the body, which is obtained by ingesting carbohydrate foods\u2014an alternative fuel called ketones is created from stored fat (thus the word \u201cketo\u201d-genic). Because it cannot store glucose, the brain requires the most glucose in a continuous supply, roughly 120 grams per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fasting, or eating very little carbohydrate, causes the body to first draw stored glucose from the liver and then momentarily break down muscle to release glucose. If this continues for 3-4 days and the body\u2019s stored glucose is completely depleted, blood levels of a hormone called insulin fall and the body begins to use fat as its major fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Eat_in_Keto_Diet\"><\/span>What to Eat in Keto Diet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_245119171.jpg\" alt=\"egg\" class=\"wp-image-6847\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eggs<\/strong><br>Well, if you like eggs, you certainly have a great chance of success since you can eat eggs as in omelettes, boiled eggs, half-fry.
