Good evening.
Today we are going to talk about an especially important topic that many may never have heard
of in their lives because it is not too widespread.
It is the ketogenic diet.
it is still called keto diet here in the USA.
In my quest to live a long time in good health, I did several research and I came across this
diet which is magnificent because it helps in weight loss, in the control of diabetes,
Alzheimer disease, and especially in the treatment of epilepsy.

We are going to see the history of this diet.
What is the history of the ketogenic diet that has become popular here in the United
States?
It goes back to ancient Greece.
When people who suffered from epilepsy were locked up for a few days without eating, we
saw that the attacks decreased considerably and that they lost weight.
The American doctor Russel Wilder in the years 1921 carried out several researches to improve
the living conditions of his children with epilepsy because it was not very pleasant
to lock these children up as we were doing.
children on a specific diet, he realized that there was a marked decrease in seizures.
This diet had 90 percent of fat, 6 percent of protein, 4 percent of carbohydrates.
And this diet was adopted as a treatment epilepsy until 1940 with the appearance of pharmacological
treatment.
This diet reappeared in the 1990s to treat children with epilepsy who were resistant
to drug therapy, and after that was used in several studies in the fight against obesity
and overweight, but it was changed.
we realized that obese and overweight people who practiced this diet really lost weight.
How to explain this weight loss with a diet low in carbohydrates, rich in lipids and light
in proteins? because when you are not using carbohydrate-rich foods, the body cannot use
glucose as an energy source; however, it needs sugar to nourish cells.
The body will use its stores in the liver to transform fat into sugar by the process
of neoglucogenesis.
Using fat as an energy source, this will cause weight loss by increasing metabolism.
The body will put more effort into transform these fats into a source of energy.
when you eat foods high in fat, it increases your satiety.
You can stay long without eating unlike foods rich in carbohydrates which cause a spike
in insulin, and cause hunger after a short time.
you will want to eat all the time because you are hungry.
While high-fat foods have no effect on insulin and keep you full for a long time and it will
be easy for you to do an intermittent fast because you do not feel the want to eat.
This diet in addition to increasing the metabolism, transforms the fat cells into ketone bodies
which will be used by the body in the form of energy really leading to the improvement
of the state of health of the epileptic patients.
This diet helps a lot in the fight against certain cancers and is highly effective for
memory and arousal.
Unlike foods rich in sugar which make you depressed.
This is just an introduction to the ketogenic diet.
I will continue to talk to you about this diet, we will define, and I will tell you
the foods that you need to eat to activate the fat burning process in your body.
The goal of this diet is to help the body burn its fat by going to find its reserves
to transform them into an energy source.
Because we know that insulin is a storage hormone while glucagon is the purpose of the
ketogenic diet is to highlight glucagon, which is a hormone that degrades through the process
of neoglucogenesis.
Thank you and see you very soon.
Especially do not miss subscribing for those who are not yet subscribed, do not miss sharing
this video, because I care about you, I care about your health.
It's a diet I do and practice in my own life and it works.
You can see it yourself.
I am the mother of two children, and I have a little boy who is not yet one year old and
I have lost belly fat and I have lost weight.
I know that is the wish of many women.
There are several mothers who have dieted, and it does not work.
And this diet coupled with intermittent fasting works perfectly in losing belly fat and weight.
No need to do an hour in the gym.
I just walk when I have time since all the sports halls are closed now.
But I was able to lose my whole belly after pregnancy and my weight.
I really want to help you lose weight, have a good weight, an ideal weight.
You need an ideal weight to be healthy because when you are obese and overweight, it will
lead to diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and many other illnesses.
Thank you and see you soon! share the video because the information I discovered here
in the United States could save the lives of many people.
