In simple terms, keto is a high-fat diet where we get 80% of our energy from fat, 15% from protein and another 5% from carbohydrates. We eat a lot of greens and salads, eggs, any fish and meat, and a lot of fatty foods. Whipped cream 30%. Butter with cheese. Coffee with coconut oil. A lot of fatty fish.
In general, everything that we eat can be viewed on Instagram - in stories and in photographs. Doesn't look like a diet if you don't have an addiction to sweets or rolls. I do not have. And yes, you can drink wine.
And, perhaps, the most important question is why. Of course, at first we just wanted to lose weight, for example. And you also read an article about biohacking, where it is written that it is very cool. Food photographer Petya Karasev, nutritionist Marina Liepis, and a number of friends from the Internet were on keto. I have been listening to seminars in Ketolager every day for a month and I highly recommend it.
And here's why we started in February and haven't quit until now:
the feeling of hunger disappeared. There are no more sugar drops (because we hardly eat any carbs at all, yeah!) And there is no desire to chew every few hours. We have breakfast in the morning and can calmly go about our business until the evening
improved sleep. We sleep well and get up very early calmly.
the feeling of fatigue disappeared. My phone will stop playing with music before I get tired of cycling. Or walk.
it became much easier to concentrate - almost a goodbye procrastination. Being focused all the time is very cool.
the mood has ceased to change. No more emotional swing like "today I'm a princess and a pea and everything pisses me off, and in an hour I'm ready to save the world." I am now always even and well
