{"title":"Starting the Keto Diet in Canada: A Complete Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe keto diet is trending these days as a way to minimize blood sugar fluctuations and lose weight fairly quickly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ketogenic diet was created in the 1920s to treat cases of epilepsy in children. Though very restrictive, the keto diet has shown to exert benefits such as improved diabetes, weight loss, energy, cravings, epilepsy, cancer, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer cases. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt focuses on consuming 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbohydrates. This allows the body to reach a state of ketosis, which means the body is burning fat for energy instead of sugar. Through this process, your liver creates ketones from dietary fat or body fat which can be used as fuel for the body and organs, such as the brain. This is called ketosis and occurs usually within 3 to 4 days of restricting carbohydrates to 20 to 50 grams at most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeto approved foods include non-starchy vegetables, meat, poultry, oils, fish, seafood,  eggs, dairy, nuts, and low glycemic fruits such as berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information on the ketogenic diet visit our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vitasave.ca\/blogs\/news\/ketogenic-diet-what-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eblog post\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are following a strict keto diet or wanting to lower your carb intake there are many keto-friendly products now on the market.
