It seems like everyone is jumping on the keto band wagon lately. They all awesome that keto is the end all be all to all your weight loss struggles. 😑⠀
⠀
Well me being someone that did keto for 2-3 years I’m here to tell you that keto ❗️IS NOT❗️the end all be all. And ❗️IS NOT❗️ something you should marry. ⠀
⠀
Can everyone benefit from a period of ketosis? Yes of corse. Re-sensitizing your body to glucose and carbohydrates can be very beneficial. ⠀
⠀
But unless you have a serious medical issue that ketosis can help mid agate or fix your ketogenic is not the holy grail. ⠀
⠀
If your an athlete, hard training individual, or someone that does CrossFit, your most likely not gonna be doing yourself any good. ⠀
⠀
These training modalities are glycolytic in nature so they will need carbohydrates for optimal performance. ⠀
⠀
Some bodybuilding can be performed on lower carbs and maybe even a TKD (targeted keto diet) approach. ⠀
⠀
But I won’t classify that as keto. It’s more just carb cycling. Or targeted carbohydrate intake. ⠀
⠀
True ketosis is the elimination of carbs for an extended period of time to make your body switch metabolic functions and burn fat for fuel. ⠀
⠀
Ketosis has its place in the right application… ⠀
⠀
☝🏼 if your someone that is pretty sedentary and doesn’t training for hard or very little. ⠀
⠀
✌🏼 If your someone will blood sugar dis regulation and crashes from eating a heavy carb meal. ⠀
⠀
But in any other situation I could argue that a balanced diet with optimal amounts of protein accounted for will yelled you just as much benefit if not more. ⠀
⠀
Just remember these two things. ⠀
⠀
☝🏼 protein is the most thermogenic food. ⠀
⠀
✌🏼 carbohydrates have the biggest impact on increasing metabolic activity and athletic performance.⠀
