Ketosis and Fat Loss
There have been many diets over the years that have promised weight loss and general improvements in body composition, but how many of them actually work - and at what cost?
The idea behind most diets is to maintain what's called a caloric deficit. A caloric deficit is eating fewer total calories per day than your body requires in order to function normally.
Most people require around 2,000 calories daily in order to maintain weight. A traditional diet asks you to calorically restrict your intake about 20%, which works out to about 1,600 calories daily. This type of diet only focuses on calories, rather than the macronutrients each food provides.
Of course, this method will work for many people, but you’ll be challenged when you run into a plateau in your weight loss. For years, people have been experimenting with the use of high-fat diets and the potential benefits they can provide to weight loss - and fat loss.
How could a high-fat diet help me lose weight and more fat?
It seems counter-intuitive, yet, a high fat diet can stimulate your body into a state of ketosis - which is very effective at promoting fat loss and weight loss.
