In this video Doctor O’Donovan explains the Ketogenic (Keto) diet for weight loss – a popular type of fasting that involves consuming a very low amount of carbohydrates and replacing them with fat to help your body burn fat for energy. Suggested health benefits by some include weight loss and lowering your risk for certain diseases; however in this video we review the science behind the keto diet and whether it really works.

What are the basic principles of the ketogenic diet?

The ketogenic diet is a very low carb, high fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low carb diets. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.

When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain. Ketogenic diets can cause significant reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has some health benefits.

What is a ketone? 
A ketone is not a fat, carbohydrate, or protein. It has characteristics of both a fat and a carbohydrate, but it’s not either. Ketones come from fat, and they are an alternative fuel source. You get ketones by lowering the carbohydrates in your diet, or by reducing your frequency of eating. 

That’s why I recommend a low carb diet (ketogenic diet) with intermittent fasting. That way, you can maximize your ability to make ketones. 

Benefits of ketones:

• Increases oxygen in the body
• Increases energy
• Supports the brain 
• Supports the heart 

Most of the body tissues can run on ketones, but some parts need glucose. However, you still don’t need to consume glucose. Your body can make glucose when it needs to through something called gluconeogenesis. 

It takes time to start turning fat into ketones. The time it takes depends on how damaged your pancreas is. 

How to get into ketosis: 

• Lower your carbs
• Lower your frequency of eating

Why should you do ketosis?

• To lower insulin

High insulin levels cause insulin resistance. 

Insulin resistance in behind:

• Pre-diabetes
• Diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• High blood pressure
• Fat in the gut area

More benefits of keto and intermittent fasting:

• Reduce fat in the liver
• Improve cognitive performance 
• Improve mood
• Decrease blood pressure
• Decrease inflammation 
• Improve energy
• Decrease belly fat 
• Autophagy 

* Your hunger goes away with the keto diet and intermittent fasting. 

* Keto and intermittent fasting work best when combined. 

* I recommend healthy keto over dirty keto. 

* Don’t eat unless you’re hungry. With healthy keto, you will be full and satisfied. 

* Autophagy starts after about 18 hours of fasting.

* When fasting drink fluids, take electrolytes and B vitamins, and take sea salt. 

Common foods to focus on while on the ketogenic diet plan: 

• Pasture-raised eggs
• Shellfish 
• Fish 
• Sardines
• Organic meats 
• Cheese 
• Olives 
• Avocados 
• Veggies 
• Nuts 
• Seeds

A war of words erupted between former “Biggest Loser” trainer Jillian Michaels and “Today” show’s Al Roker over a popular diet. The keto diet promotes high fat and low carb meals. It encourages followers to fill up on fatty foods like bacon, avocados, eggs and cheese, and avoid carbs like bread, bananas, apples, and beans. Michaels believes that’s terrible advice. Al Roker, who has struggled with his weight all his life, has been on the keto diet since September, and took a jab at her comments. #InsideEdition

Isn’t the ketogenic diet and low carb diet essentially the same thing? How about Atkins and paleo aren’t all of these diets just a fancy way of saying keep your carbs low. Well it’s definitely safe to say that you are limiting your carb intake in all of these diet plans but each plan calls for a slightly different approach to burning fat. Most ketogenic diets require you to keep your carbs under 30 grams a day and the most carbs that I’ve ever seen on a keto plan was 50 grams a day. Usually this will account for 5% of your total daily intake. Then you would have somewhere between 75 to 80 percent of your calories from fat. And finally 15 to 20 percent of your calories from protein. With ketogenic it’s clear that the carbs are very limited at only 5 percent per day and the reason why carbs are so limited is because the ketogenic diet is trying to put you into ketosis. To sum it up simply ketosis is a state in which you’re going to burn more fat and produce Ketone bodies in your liver for use as energy when carbohydrates are really low. Low-carb diets on the other hand don’t require an exact number of carbohydrates the way that keto does. Obviously since it’s low carb you wouldnt expect to have more than 20 to 30 percent of your calories coming from carbs but even at 20 percent it’s a huge difference from the five percent that you get with keto. So with low carb we can consider the exact number of carbs undefined whereas with Keto that number is very defined with exact numerical values. What about atkins? When taking a closer look at Atkins you see that Atkins is different from keto and low-carb as well. With Atkins the General accepted split is 30% protein 10% carbs and 60% fat. Again this is higher in carbs than the 5 percent we see with keto which Keto dieters would not support because they would say that having a higher level of carbs would take you out of ketosis. But Atkins at certain points dies definitely put you into ketosis. The plan takes you through four phases and a lot of these phases match up with the keto structure. In Phase 1 of Atkins you have to limit your totally daily carb intake to only 20 grams per day. This is as low if not even lower than keto. Then you progress to phase 2 where you still keep carbs really low but you add in certain vegetables berries nuts and seeds back into the diet. Then in Phase 3 which you only start once you’re about 10 pounds from your weight loss goal, but once your there you start to add 10 grams of carbs to your diet each week. And finally in phase four you enter maintenance which allows you to eat anywhere from 45 to 100 grams of carbs per day. Phase one and two sound just like the ketogenic diet and I’m sure when your in those two phases you will be in a state of ketosis but when you enter into phase 3 and phase 4 you’re going to be moving more towards a general low carb diet which as ive already mentioned is very different from keto. Now how about paleo, where does paleo fit in all of this. Well paleo once again elicits fat loss by keeping the list of approved carbs short but the paleo plan is different because it only allows Foods that were believed to be eaten by our caveman ancestors. The best paleo macronutrient split as defined by the perfect health diet and paleo leap.com is around 20 percent carbohydrates 65 percent fat and 15 percent protein. Again this is slightly different from what we’ve seen with low carb and Atkins but it’s very different from keto. Even though paleo and Keto are both low in carbohydrates Keto is significantly lower than paleo again keto totals only at 5% of total daily intake. The Paleo diet is also very specific with what foods you can and cannot eat. Even though you can do this diet with regular produce it’s highly recommended that all your meat products are grass-fed wild caught and pasture-raised. You’re allowed to eat any fresh vegetables except for potatoes and any nuts except for peanuts. Also eggs, healthy oils like olive oil, and fresh fruit especially berries are allowed on the plan. Grains, bread, cereals, any processed food, legumes, beans, and Dairy are completely off the plan. Dairy is a big part of the ketogenic diet for many people. A lot of people get the massive amount of fat required on keto with options like cheese. Cheese would be forbidden on the Paleo diet but on paleo you would actually be…
