What is a ketogenic diet anyway?
The ketogenic diet consists of a low intake of carbohydrates and a high intake of good fats. Technically, the carbohydrate intake in this type of diet is equivalent to approximately 20 to 50 grams per day. Depending of course on factors such as age and lifestyle, for example.
When our body metabolizes fat, it generates so-called ‘ketone bodies’ in the blood which have a natural stimulating action. This process therefore reduces hunger more intensely and accelerates weight loss.
However, we remind you that for the safe, healthy and adequate practice of any diet, it is essential to be accompanied by a nutritionist. With this in mind, Lev has a team of nutritionists trained to ensure an adequate and personalized diet plan for each patient.
