Custom Keto Diet Meal Plan
The Custom Keto Diet Meal Plan is a diet low in carbohydrates and high in fat. Maintaining this diet is a great tool for losing weight. More importantly, according to a growing number of studies, it helps reduce risk factors for diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and more (see more information here).
During ketosis, your body uses ketones as an energy source instead of glucose. Ketones are derived from fat and are a much more stable and stable source of energy than glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates.
Entry into ketosis usually takes 3 days to a week. Once in ketosis, you will use fat as an energy source rather than carbohydrates. This includes the fat you eat and the stored body fat.

The truth about fat
You may be saying to yourself, "But eating a lot of fat is wrong!"
In reality, dozens of studies and meta-studies involving more than 900,000 subjects have reached similar conclusions: the consumption of saturated and monounsaturated fats has no effect on the risk of heart disease (see here ).
Most fats are good and essential for our health. Fats (fatty acids) and proteins (amino acids) are essential for survival.
Fats are the most efficient form of energy and each gram contains about 9 calories, compared to 4 calories per gram of protein and carbohydrates.
There are no essential carbohydrates.
The ketogenic diet promotes the consumption of fresh and whole foods such as meat, fish, vegetables, healthy fats and oils as well as a considerable reduction in processed and chemically treated foods.
It's a diet that you can maintain for the long term.
Health benefits of Custom Keto Diet Meal Plan
Burns fat: Ketones suppress ghrelin - your hunger hormone - and increase cholecystokinin (CCK), which fills you up. A reduced appetite means that it is easier to last longer without eating, which encourages your body to draw energy from its fat stores.
Reduces inflammation: The ketogenic diet is anti-inflammatory and could protect you against the main degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and cancer.
Feeds and nourishes your brain: Ketones immediately provide energy to your brain and up to 70% of the energy your brain needs when you limit carbohydrates. Fats also nourish your brain and keep it strong. Your brain is made up of at least 60% fat; so it needs a lot of good fat to keep it working. Essential fatty acids like omega-3s help brain growth and development, while saturated fats keep myelin - the insulating layer around the brain - strong so your neurons can communicate with each other.
Increases energy: Ketosis helps the brain create more mitochondria, the energy generators in your cells. More energy in your cells means more energy for you to do things.
Lowers blood sugar: The keto diet can reverse and even cure diabetes. Keto stabilizes insulin levels and lowers blood sugar to the point that many diabetics may stop taking their medication when they switch to diet.
