Generally speaking, there are basically two ways to consume ketosis: clean keto or dirty ketosis. The big difference between dirty and clean ketosis is fairly simple. Clean ketosis is all about natural, whole foods. Dirty ketosis generally refers to a low-carb, high-protein diet of factory-farming, less organic foods and ingredients. However, the difference between the two types is clear when it comes to what their effects on your health are.
So what are the differences between clean and dirt? In general terms, if you eat more clean foods, your body will naturally burn fat more efficiently and use more energy to do the same task. When it comes to the ketones in your body though, they stay in the liver and can be kept there for longer periods of time before they are excreted through urine or other excretory systems. So what are some examples of clean foods to follow?
Obviously you could eat as much cabbage as you want and have no ill effects. However, most people don’t want to do that, so they turn to their computers. While the carbohydrates in cabbage are digested quickly by the liver, they do not get converted into glucose and are instead stored as fat. On the other hand, carbohydrates that are properly broken down in the body such as fruits and vegetables are metabolized quickly, thus making them good for keeping you full. Therefore, while you can eat as much cabbage you want and have no ill effects, most people find themselves better off eating vegetables and fruits versus meat and high protein foods like eggs and pancakes.
Many people also try to follow some sort of fast or clean eating regimen. They either go on a liquid diet (like maple syrup) or they try to follow a cleaning regiment that involves drinking only juices, eating only raw fruits and vegetables, and using only minimal amounts of sauces and spices in their food choices. While both of these techniques can be effective for cleansing and losing weight, they often have side effects that aren’t worth the effort. Also, while you can eat whatever you want and have no ill effects, doing so for prolonged periods is very unhealthy for your digestive system, so it makes sense to find other clean food choices.
So, what is the long answer? Well, in short, you’ll want to use intermittent fasting to help you lose weight and keep it off. intermittent fasting is a method that has been used for hundreds if not thousands of years to assist people with weight loss and to keep diseases and other illnesses from afflicting their bodies.
Intermittent fasting is achieved by limiting all carbs (except for certain healthy complex carbohydrates like whole grains and bran), but including high protein and very low glycemic carbs. It can also be achieved by reducing your fat intake and increasing the amount of muscle you are lifting. The intermittent ketosis diet is designed to force your body to enter a state of ketosis (whereby ketones are produced), resulting in your body burning off vast amounts of your stored fat and muscle mass at the same time.
Once you reach your goal weight, your diet should be tested to see how long you can go without eating anything else. If you are able to go longer than a few days without eating anything else, you are ready to begin incorporating the regular “clean foods” into your diet. These “clean foods” consist of mostly fresh produce and high protein alternatives. As you introduce these healthy alternatives to your diet, you will start to notice an improvement in your energy levels, improved mental clarity, stronger immune function, improved sexual function, and better overall health.
You can keep track of what you have eaten during your day by using a “day log” or an equivalent system. Simply write down the times you ate certain foods, along with the nutritional information for each of the foods. For example, you would write down how many calories you burned with each meal and the nutrient breakdown for each of the meals. Then, compare this information to your current weight and start practicing eating clean yet! Remember, your success is dependent on how well you can adapt to eating healthier meals throughout the day.
