Before you were on a blind diet, now you will have relevant information to prove that your ketogenic diet is working.
The first time I went on the ketogenic diet , I didn’t want to waste time, so I wanted to monitor my ketosis to make sure I was doing everything right.
Dosing the ketone bodies in the urine has given me more security to optimize my diet and have even more benefits.
I am a scholar of the body and human health and the first time I heard about a ketogenic diet was in 2016.
At first I didn’t give much importance, because I was dedicating myself to study the alkaline diet , but with the passing of time, with the popularization of the ketogenic diet, and seeing every absurd thing being talked about on the internet, I felt I had the duty to study further. more to show you how to make a healthy ketogenic diet .
The ketogenic diet has become popular for quick weight loss , there is no doubt that it works incredibly, but what surprised me the most were lucid dreams, mental clarity, focus and disposition that I felt during the period of ketosis.
I REACHED THE KETOGENIC STATE WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS, WITH GREAT HEALTH
I was already on an alkaline and low carb diet routine when I decided to test the ketogenic diet .
I already consumed a lot of low carb vegetables and monitored the pH of my urine to see if it was alkaline.
I knew that when I started the ketogenic diet , I would be more likely to acidify myself, which is the reason for the side effects of the ketogenic diet .
When I had already accumulated enough knowledge in scientific articles to understand beyond what was being said on Youtube, I then decided to test the ketogenic diet on my own.
With the knowledge of the alkaline diet, I further reduced my carbohydrates to less than 40g per day , intensified physical activity and kept fasting for 12 to 14 hours a day.
Below are some references of what I ate during the period:
3 days went by where I was eating a lot of salads, sprouted like the alfalfa sprout, clover, moyashi bean sprout, olive oil and other various oils like avocado, macadamia, flaxseed, sunflower, all cold pressed, in addition , of course the avocado, tahini, eggs, meat and chicken.
I thought it would be difficult to cut down on carbs, but as I was already coming from a low carb diet routine, to my surprise, it wasn’t that bad.
AFTER 3 TO 4 DAYS OF KETOGENIC DIET, YOU CAN ALREADY FIND KETONE BODIES IN URINE.
On the third day of the ketogenic diet, I had incredible energy early in the morning.
As soon as I woke up, I wanted to test my urine !! Then I separated the intermediate jet of my first morning urine in a clean plastic container, removed the seal from my ketosis-proof kit, took one of the stems with the ketone reagent paper and dipped it in the urine for 3 seconds .
And there, there it was, my purple ketosis test tapes !!! how much happiness! It really works.
ALSO TEST YOUR KETOSIS IN URINE AND TAKE CONTROL FOR A HEALTHY KETOGENIC DIET
Did you know that even with very little carbohydrates, a lot of people are unable to achieve ketosis in the first week of the ketogenic diet because they are exaggerating the amounts of protein in the diet.
Are you sure you are consuming the right amounts of fat, protein and carbohydrates to achieve ketosis more quickly ?
STEPS BEFORE STARTING THE KETOGENIC DIET
Step 1- Recognize carbohydrates, proteins and fats
Step 2- Be Low Carb and evolve to ketogenic
Step 3- Do not overdo proteins
Recognize carbohydrates
First of all, are you able to know how many carbs you are eating daily?
Conventionally, for a diet of 2000kcal , it is recommended that around 50% of this energy comes from carbohydrate sources. As each gram of carbohydrate has 4kcal , this is around 250 grams of carbohydrates per day.
Do you eat more or less than 250 grams of carbohydrates a day?
If you don’t know how to count, in this article I’ll explain. If you are too lazy to find out, hire a nutritionist to help you with this.
Taking this as a reference, it is understood that to call the low carb diet , you have to eat a maximum of 130 grams of carbohydrates per day. So, no more food questions x “can or can’t”? Be smart, learn the source of the information that you will have more autonomy!
So, believe me, by slowly reducing the amount of carbohydrates, you will lose weight without stress and the best, without any side effects of sugar restriction.
