The ketogenic diet is an innovative diet that had been developed back in the 1920s as an treatment for epileptic children. I had no idea!  Since then it has developed to become a prime choice for people who are looking to stay fit and reduce weight for health reasons on a quick basis. Ketogenic diets basically force the body to enter into a state of ketosis by adopting a diet which restricts the intake of carbohydrates and forces the body to produce ketones by burning fat as a source of fuel.

The immediate result of this is that the body metabolizes fat and a lot of weight, along with water is lost, thereby leading to rapid weight loss. Over time, a sustainable state of ketosis can be reached and some great benefits can be reaped as a result of having adopted this diet. Some of these advantages include, increased stamina, improved BMI, increased energy, controlled appetite, protection from cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and other physical ailments. Therapeutic benefits of a ketogenic diet are also immense, with it being used as a treatment method for Alzheimer, Parkinson and Epilepsy.

Although, you have been given the reasons why you should adopt a “best diet”, taking the help of a functional practitioner is still important. A functional practitioner will help you sort out your diet in a more refined and optimized manner. Diets like ketogenic diet need to be administered on the body with close monitoring from a health professional, because if done wrong they can cause adverse effects, instead of providing the immense benefits that they have the potential for. Your functional practitioner will also take into account factors like micro biome health, genetics, present health conditions and the functionality that you have in order to create a diet that is best suited for you. So always consider taking their help before jumping in to start changing your diet, and enjoy a healthy and fulfilling life.
