In a modern world where our food is increasingly processed with unhealthful additives and obesity rates are at unprecedented levels, the ketogenic diet offers a unique and important set of benefits. The ketogenic diet works by swapping out carbohydrates with fats as the body’s main fuel source. The resulting effects, as the body scrambles to reorient itself to a new energy source, produce surprising and positive health outcomes. As the body enters a ketogenic state, its anti-inflammatory properties are unleashed, cholesterol levels are brought into balance, more fat is burned, and brain function improves. Taken altogether, the ketogenic diet has the potential to transform people, body, mind, and soul.

Key Takeaways:

  • Eating a diet void of carbohydrates for an extended period of time will deplete the body of glycogen reserves and putting it in a ketogenic state.
  • One benefit of a ketogenic diet is it helps the body to decrease inflammation, which is often related to GI disorders such as lactose intolerance and IBS.
  • A ketogenic diet assists the body in burning fat fast and improving overall insulin sensitivity.
