The Ketogenic Diet Versus Low Fat Diet Plans
The Ketogenic Diet Versus Low Fat Diet Plans Much has been said over the years about the ketogenic diet and with celebrities like Megan Fox, Mick Jagger, and Adriana Lima being fond proponents of the diet, it remains very popular. What is the real difference between a ketogenic diet and a low fat diet plan? While many may swear about reducing fat intake, studies show low carb plans are actually more effective for both weight loss and reducing high cholesterol. Ketogenic Diet There are several low carbohydrate diets, but the ketogenic diet generally limits your carb intake to 20 to 50 grams a day. The ketogenic diet requires you to enter the stage of ketosis, and that generally does not occur unless you are consuming about 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. A sample menu plan when you’re on a ketogenic diet looks like this: Breakfast: bacon or sausage, eggs, and coffee with cream and stevia Snack: 1 ounce of cheese with cucumbers or celery
