What is Ketosis
Ketosis is a natural metabolic process that occurs when the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This happens when the body does not have enough carbohydrates to burn for energy, so it breaks down stored fat and produces ketones as a byproduct. Ketones are chemicals that the body can use for fuel and are eliminated in urine.
What are the symptoms that Ketosis has been obtained?
1. Bad Breath: elevated levels of ketone, spcifically the keytone acetone
that exits the body in you urine and breath.
2. Weight Loss: low carb diets are highly effective for weight loss.
3. Increased blood Ketone level: One of the hallmarks of a keto diet
is a reduction in blood sugar levels and an increase in ketones.
4. Appetite suppression: normally, there is a decrease in hunger
during a low carb, keto diet.
5. Increased focus and energy: when starting a low carb diet, there
is often the effect of brain fog, feeling sick and tiredness.
However, long term keto dieters often obtain increased focus and energy.
First Seven Days in a Keto Diet
Day One:
Your body will begin absorbing all the extra protein and begin repairing
and building muscle, plus you will enjoy cooking and eating steak.
Day Two:
Depending on your previous diet, you will start craving bread, grains, sugar
or soda; but your body is beginning to adapt to a carb free diet.
Push through the cravings, because tomorrow you will enter ketosis.
Day Three:
You enter ketosis and start burning fat instead of carbs for energy.
Your muscles continue to be repaired from the extra protein.
Day Four:
You continue to adjust to eating less calories but more protein.
This means you′re maintaining muscle mass but also burring fat.
Day Five:
Chronic inflammation in you body from grains and carbs is reducing.
This means there is less pains and aches, less brain fog, but more energy.
Day Six:
Chronic inflammation continues to decrease.
You will feel good with high levels of energy all day long.
Day Seven:
All symptoms of Chronic inflammation are not gone.
You will wish you started this a long time ago.
Proportions are Very Important
Methinks, the ratio for good health is two thirds vegetables to one forth lean meat and a small amount of good fats such as avocado, coconut, and nuts but the best ratio will be discussed in detail as more research is done.
As it is understood currently, the most accurate formula for a plate of living food is as follows. First, 60 percent of the plate should be greens, vegetables, and salads. The lean meat should cover 30 percent of our plate. Then, about 8 percent should be good fats, which leaves 2 percent, which can be anything of our own choosing, as long as it is on the list of Living Food below.
Too, drinking a liquid, either water or herb tea should precede the meal.
This proportions formula can be adjusted to one′s preferences. However, if you are trying to reverse a disease, then the food specifics and amounts should be kept as close to the Living Food list and proportions as possible.
Ongoing Research
The following list has been developed from current research but continues to remain subject to change as new information is obtained through ongoing research.
Tips for Shopping
Always Read Labels
1. Check ingredient list for unwanted
additives
2. Look for foods with one or two ingredients.
Check the PLU codes, those little sticker on fruits and vegetables.
1. If it is four-digit number code, it is conventionally grown product.
2. If the four-digit number is preceded with a 9, it is an organic food.
3. If the four-digit number is preceded with an 8, it is a GMO food. Avoid!
Always Buy Organic:
1. Buy only those items whose PLU code begins with a 9
2. Buy these items when it’s labeled 100% organic
3. Buy these items that are labeled GMO-free
