The Ketogenic diet refers to a form of dieting where high fats, adequate protein and low carbs are consumed. Its aim is to deplete the body's glycogen reserves so that it relies on fat and protein for energy. The body then undergoes ketosis, which is a metabolic state in which your liver produces a high number of ketones as an alternative fuel source for the brain.
Keto is everywhere; it's the new buzzword, the new favorite among those looking to shed pounds, and the new hate victim of the food-pyramid-spouting-eat-your-whole grains mainstream medical industry.
When you follow this low-calorie diet, you'll go into controlled ketosis, forcing your body to use fat reserves as its source of energy while maintaining muscle mass. As a result, you will lose weight fast without hunger and feel energized. To avoid complications, a low-calorie keto diet should only be performed under medical supervision.
It can be a pain to deal with cholesterol, but it's essential to the health of your body. In addition to making hormones and vitamin D, cholesterol supports digestion and is important to your health.
In addition to our diet program, Progen weight management offers a complimentary 2 year maintenance program. Once our clients have reached their ideal body weight after the diet, our dietitians will follow up with them for the next two years. As part of this process, clients are given a diet meal plan tailored to their genetic characteristics. This means that they can eat their favorite dishes and still stay at their ideal body weight.
Ketogenic diets (KDs) are emerging as effective therapies for several chronic diseases, including cancer. However, concerns regarding safety and adherence may prevent clinicians from prescribing KDs. We hypothesised that a KD does not negatively affect blood lipid profile compared to a lower-fat diet in ovarian and endometrial cancer patients, and that KD subjects would demonstrate acceptable adherence.
