The ketogenic diet has been described as one of the fad diets that has had its moment of glory in recent years but was still seen as a "miracle diet". Thus, it was obviated that it is a food proposal that dates back more than 100 years and that it was devised - and thus continues to be used - for children with epilepsy, when it was shown that it improved pediatric patients with this disease. But despite the fact that various studies have shown that this diet is safe and effective against this pathology, it was not so clear that it was for the indication that has given it the most popularity: weight loss. There are three phasesVery low calorie ketogenic (VLCKD) has three phases , something that many people are probably also unaware of. First, it begins with an active phase, followed by a metabolic stabilization and a maintenance phase.
The first phase is the hardest . It lasts for around three months and between 700 and 800 kilocalories are consumed per day and between 30 and 50 grams of carbohydrates per day, which represents between 13 and 25% of the daily calories consumed. To this is added between 8.8 and 1.2 grams per day per kilo of the ideal protein weight. Thus, it is possible to increase the production of ketone bodies by the liver and, therefore, enter ketosis, which is responsible for the anorectic [ appetite suppressant ] effect of the diet that is associated with motivational stimulation and subsequent adherence to it . Progressive increase, This is followed by a second part of the first phase in which proteins are gradually reintroduced , but the calories are still very low, at the same levels as in the induction phase. In the second and third phase, calories and carbohydrates increase at the same time as the calorie intake, which goes from being low, that is, between 800 and 1,550 kilocalories per day to the usual one , between 1,500 and 2,250. What the researchers have observed, and the Keto Coach also highlights on his Twitter is that, in the face of any doubt, the ketogenic diet proposed in these terms is effective, that is, it works .
