The Keto diet is as simple in concept as climbing Everest: 0 carbs….FOREVER. The body makes ketones from fat for fuel.
Normally the brain is near exclusively fueled by carbs, but after the liver learns to make ketones from fat the brain runs on these ketones. For the first 2 weeks or so your in a perpetual hell: Hungry, angry, dizzy, miserable, with no brain power. But after that you’re like a superhero. Endless energy as your body runs on fat for fuel and a ton of health benefits.
This type of way of eating is not for everyone but definitely something to check out. I am on something called carb backloading and so I do not have carbs for 5 days and then I get some beef and rice on the next two, 5:2 diet split. But some people have great success with keto diets and they are very effective. For the first few weeks yes I was in hell it was a hard journey to get over but I guarantee it stops, I wasn't sure it would stop but it did and my body has a lot more energy than it ever has before.
