Patients were often asked to fast for 24 to 48 hours prior to the diet plan (they can drink plain water during that period) in order to deplete blood glucose to the lowest level possible (within a normal range), forcing the body to use fat cells instead. This would mean, patients will be in ketosis even before the ketogenic diet is started.
Sounds like a big deal. I do feel the need to burn some tummy fat though, might as well give in someday. Who knows. I love sugar. Terrible, but once that sweet-tooth hits at night, i feel helpless at times.
This was a good read. Thank you.
Well, simple sugar is bad for us but taking it within a normal acceptable range in comparison with our caloric consumption is fine. Practising a ketogenic diet is not easy but a lot of studies have proved its effectiveness in weight loss.
