Ketogenic Diet to Lose Weight Fast

By Milos Pesic

I'm sure there are some of you who have already heard the term ketosis diet. But, what exactly is it and what are its pros and cons? First of all, the word ketosis refers to the state of the human body when it doesn't have enough carbohydrates and starts to rely on proteins, fat and muscle to make up for the energy loss. So, this explains why this diet got the name ketosis diet. In other words, a ketosis diet is a kind of a diet with a low amount of carbs or no carbs at all. In this state, the brain informs your body to make reserves of glucose for emergencies only. This happens due to the lack of carbs intake in your organism. In that case, the brain starts using fat stores because it immediately needs energy. Sounds great, doesn't it?

There is something that you still don't know, and it is that ketosis is treated by a large number of the medical experts as a bodily crisis. Therefore, it's not only the state of carbohydrate deprivation, but it is also considered as the crisis of the body. So, before you decide to start with a ketosis diet read carefully the above lines. This information is enough to stay away from this diet for good. However, if it's not enough for you, let's see its side effects.

The first among several side effects of a ketosis diet are general fatigue, constant tiredness and similar bodily malfunctions, which occur simply as a consequence of not having enough glucose in your body. Besides, it can do permanent harms to your liver and also destroy muscle tissue. And this is just the beginning. There is more.

Regarding the effects of a ketosis diet, it would probably be difficult for you to do even the easiest exercises, which is very important if you want to lose weight. Furthermore, you feel tired all the time and you can't workout because you lack energy. The choice of food is very limited. Consequently, your body will use its fat as a last resort for energy source.

Therefore, you start to starve which is considered in many aspects a sort of sickness. It can leave serious consequences to your body and your health. Due to that, you should really take all these things into consideration before you decide to start a new "promising" diet. To be brief, ketosis diet is not a pleasant process at all.

On the basis of everything previously said, you can conclude that a ketosis diet is not a good alternative to lose weight. Instead of that, select some less rigorous and less dangerous diet program. - 29161
