A keto diet is a low-carb diet that puts your body into a Ketosis state, which is a natural and scientifically proven way for healthy weight management. In particular, the Keto diet is very low in carbohydrates-<5%, high in fats-75%, and moderate in proteins-20%. Once your diet lack carbs, your body is forced to use fat as an energy source, so in that, it starts to break down its own fat for energy.  

Ketosis is a natural metabolic process–something your body does to keep working when it doesn’t have enough carbs from food. Your cells need energy, but if you no have glucose(which means you don’t eat carbs or sugars), they start burning fat instead. As part of this process, the body start produces ketones and utilizes them as a fuel source instead of glucose.

It is individually, but typically, it will take from a few days to one week, or more, to feel yourself absolute well on Keto. It is possible that you may experience symptoms of carb cravings at first, but once you become fat-adapted, you’ll find that you won’t desire carbs as much anymore.

Everyone’s body is different, meaning the rate of weight loss for each person is varied too. For instance, a person with a slow rate metabolism and a lot of body fat that doesn’t exercise enough will take longer to see weight loss than a person with a normal metabolism who’s slightly overweight and exercising three to five times a week together with the keto lifestyle. Typically, in the first week of the keto diet, people see a rapid weight reduction—around from a few pounds to as much as ten! It’s because at the beginning, keto force your body to start release a lot of water weight (not fat) due to your lower-carb consumption.

A keto diet is usually very safe. Still, in the following three situations, you may need to the consulate with your doctor or extra preparation :

• If you’re on medication for diabetes
• If you’re on medication for high blood pressure
• If you’re breastfeeding

If you’re not in one of the above situations, you’ll likely do good on a keto diet without requiring any particular changes. Though, if you’re worried about any health problems, then special attention should be made if planning to start a keto diet.

As long as you keep normal calorie consumption and the fat ratio is around 75% of the daily diet, your intake will be within the allowed limits.

The gap between each meal is three to four hours, and including the snacks also.

Water is the best choice, as it holds zero carbs. Tea and coffee(without sugar, of course) are good options, as well. A glass of wine is also acceptable to drink but on special occasions. 

Yes, of course! You can drink coffee with low-carb sweeteners such as stevia and erythritol. You can use almond or coconut milk while you are on Keto. Bear in mind that you should not add sugar to your tea or coffee as it will take you out of Ketosis.

Don’t worry about calories! They are calculated in advance based on your daily needs, so you just need to follow the plan’s instructions. At the end of the day, the essential thing is to eat in the right way instead of eating too less.
