Ketogeenisessä

Ketogeenisessä, also known as the keto diet, is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that aims to put the body into a state of ketosis. In this state, the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. The diet typically consists of 70-80% fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% carbohydrates. Common foods include meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and low-carb vegetables.

The keto diet is often used for weight loss, managing type 2 diabetes, and improving certain medical conditions such as epilepsy. It may also have benefits for heart health and mental performance. However, it is not suitable for everyone, especially those with kidney disease, and it may have side effects such as constipation, bad breath, and fatigue.

The keto diet is typically started with a period of rapid carbohydrate restriction, followed by a more sustained phase. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new diet, especially one as restrictive as the keto diet. The diet requires careful planning and monitoring to ensure that nutrient needs are met and to avoid potential side effects.
