I choose myself.
I open my eyes.
I love me.
Why am I telling you all this? Because the keto diet combined with the intermittent fasting has been what has helped me to know myself, to love myself and to regain the will to live. It may sound very profound, it is, but in this post I want you to become aware of the importance of re-educating our habits, conscious food and oxygenation of the body.
What is ketogenic nutrition?
I will try to summarise it as simply as possible:
A keto diet is a diet very low in carbohydrates and higher in fat. On a keto diet you eat fewer carbohydrates, maintain a moderate protein intake and may increase your fat intake. The reduction of carbohydrates puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosiswhere fat (from your body and from what you eat) is consumed for energy.
On a ketogenic diet, the entire body shifts its fuel supply to run primarily on fat; fat is burned 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When insulin levels are very low, fat burning can increase enormously, so that it becomes easier to access the fat stored in the body to burn it.
These are the proven benefits of ketogenic diets and low in carbohydrates:
- Appetite control
- Increased weight loss
- Increased fat loss, and less visceral fat
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
- Improvement of insulin sensitivity and reversal of diabetes
- Prevention of mental illness
- Improves cellular rejuvenation
What if we add intermittent fasting to this?
After so many years of hearing that we should eat five times a dayAlthough this pattern has traditionally been prescribed in most diets, many nutritionists have been recommending intermittent fasting for some time now. This does not mean going for days, or even weeks, without eating, but rather establishing a dietary pattern also known as 16-8, i.e. 16 hours of fasting and 16 hours of eating. 8 eating normally. The body goes into a kind of state of reset and performs certain cellular recycling activities. In addition, it is given a respite at the digestive level".
In the same vein, fasting has an impact on improving blood sugar regulation, increasing stress resistance and suppressing inflammation, as well as lowering blood pressure and resting heart rate. Although each individual should tailor fasting to their appetite, needs and lifestyle, most people choose to adelantar la cena al máximo y retrasar el desayuno, así lo hago yo pero quizás si quieres empezar a incluir pequeños ayunos basta con retrasar un poco más tu hora del desayuno y en vez de desayunar a las 8 quizás puedas aguantar hasta las 11 de la mañana y así hasta que consigas llegar a las 12 o 13 del medio día.
