Sample menu of 3 days of the Ketogenic Diet:
In the menu of the ketogenic diet to lose weight, all foods
rich in sugars and carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, flour, bread and
chocolates should be eliminated, increasing the consumption of foods sources of
protein and fats such as meat, eggs, seeds , avocado and olive oil. In the case
of fruits, which contain carbohydrates, strawberries, blueberries, cherries and
blackberries should be consumed preferably, since their carbohydrate content is
lower.
This type of feeding can be followed for a maximum of 1 to 3
months, and in the so-called cyclical ketogenic diet it is possible to
alternate between 5 consecutive days of diet and 2 days of carbohydrate
feeding, facilitating menu compliance also on weekends.
The ketogenic diet stimulates weight loss by causing the
body to produce energy from the body's fat stores, rather than from
carbohydrates that come from the diet.
