Low-carb diet is a diet that focuses on consuming a small amount of carbohydrates, which promotes entering a state of ketosis.
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body efficiently uses fats as the primary source of energy instead of carbohydrates.
This contributes to weight loss, improvement in overall well-being, and stabilization of blood sugar levels.
It is important to remember that when transitioning to a keto diet, one may experience the so-called “keto flu” – a transitional period characterized by fatigue, headaches, and malaise.
However, with continued adherence to the diet and the right approach, many report improvements in their health and achieving their goals.
Products on a low-carb diet
When following a keto diet, it is recommended to consume products rich in healthy fats, moderate amounts of proteins, and minimal carbohydrates.
Such products include oils (olive, coconut), nuts, seeds, avocado, fish, meat, eggs, low-fat dairy products.
It is important to avoid products rich in fast carbohydrates, such as sweets, bread, potatoes, pasta.
