The Magic OF Ketosis!

Besides lowering blood sugar what does the LCHF ketogenic diet do for you and why is the side benefit often weight loss? There is a really good explanation of this as I have experienced in my own life while eating this way since December of 2012. When I first started eating this way I did start out eating 3 meals a day and even a snack at night. Sometimes I did just skip breakfast though or just had breakfast for lunch. Still, I ate kind of as we were taught to eat trying not to skip too many meals.

As time went on I was even less hungry and went even longer between meals. Sometimes as long as 18 hours naturally. So even though I was eating high fat meals I was burning body fat. You can easily understand the reason. I stopped eating! I was fasting! I didn’t think of it as fasting though. Not at all. I just followed my body’s natural desire to eat or not eat. It really is a simple concept.

The biochemistry isn’t so simple though. I am not a biochemist and I’m not going to pretend to be one but here are the basics. Eating less often naturally lowers your insulin levels. Eating moderate protein also keeps insulin levels lower than eating a 12 ounce steak. Of course if I only ate one meal in 24 hours I could certainly take in a larger protein portion because for the next 23 or more hours of not eating my insulin will be low during that time. Don’t get me wrong here! I am not telling you that you should plan to fast or intentionally fast. Not at all! I am telling you that eventually you just will end up doing it accidentally and you won’t even think about it in that way! That is part of the magic!

The magic of the lowered insulin levels is that fat burning begins! Fat stores that have been unable to be utilized now can be released. There is no additional fat being stored from your diet because you are not…
