Quite restrictive, the ketogenic diet allows for the consumption of only 1,000 to 1,400 calories per day, considering this division of macronutrients: Very low amount of carbohydrates – 4 to 10% of calories. High consumption of fats – 60% or more. Adequate amounts of protein – 30%. In particular, the low amount of carbohydrates stimulates the production of ketone bodies, which are fat-hungry molecules. In this way, the patient begins to use their own body fat as a source of energy. The use of protein aims to maintain lean mass, speed up metabolism, promote greater satiety and stabilize weight. The diet can help you lose 300 grams to half a kilo per day, depending on your weight. After 15 days, you can lose up to 10% of your body weight. --------------- Dr. Maithê P.
