Avocado Coconut Curry Recipe

Keto Recipes:With an array of diets spamming the food industry, it is almost impossible to know which would suit our need and the body. There have been plenty of diets for weight loss; from low-carb diet, gluten-free diet to paleo or a high-protein diet, there is always something new to look upon. Much recently, there has been a diet for weight loss that has been endorsed by scores of celebrities all around the world - Keto diet.

A keto or ketogenic diet is very low on carbs, high on protein and unsaturated fats. It helps burn the excess fat more effectively. The name keto comes from the small fuel molecules that the body produces called 'ketones'. These are produced when the body consumes less carbs and hence less glucose which allows ketones to step up and work as an alternative to glucose that the liver produces from fat and serves as a fuel source throughout our body, especially for the brain. It is said that ketones burn fat faster than the carbs, which in turn may help in weight loss. When we follow keto diet, our body switches its fuel supply to run from fat, thus making it easier to burn the excess fat.

A diet high in fat and low on carbs is the most popular diet nowadays. A high fat diet improves the gut flora and also helps in regulating the glucose or blood sugar levels in our body." Opting for a high fat diet would not just be highly satiating but also help in boosting the absorption of vitamins that would further help in boosting our immune system strengthening the bones, and maintaining a good heart health.

Having said that, one should also consider the 'type' of fat to include when aiming for weight loss. Consume only 'good' fats which are basically unrefined animal-based fats, fish fat and plant-based fats like avocado, nuts and certain oils.
