How to effectively follow a low-carb and healthy keto diet? What are the benefits?

The ketogenic diet is one of the most popular weight loss methods in recent years. By controlling the intake of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, many people have achieved their desired weight loss results. Have you tried many weight loss methods but still haven't seen any results? Let's learn about the principles and menus of the ketogenic diet together!

What is the ketogenic diet?

The ketogenic diet advocates a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate diet that simulates the body's starvation state, causing the body to burn fat (ketones) instead of carbohydrates (glucose) directly. In other words, it makes fat the main source of energy, resulting in faster weight loss!

The ketogenic diet emphasizes a high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet menu, which limits the amount of carbohydrates to only 5% of the total calories. Approximately 20% to 25% of the calories should come from protein, while the remaining 70% to 75% of the calories should come from fat.


There are several common ways to follow the ketogenic diet, including:

    1. Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): Consuming about 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein, and less than 5% carbohydrates per day. This dietary pattern usually leads to the body entering a state of ketosis.

    2. Short-term ketogenic diet: This dietary pattern typically lasts for a few days or weeks and aims to quickly enter a state of ketosis. The dietary ratios are similar to those of the standard ketogenic diet.

    3. Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This dietary pattern increases carbohydrate intake on training days to provide more energy and support muscle recovery. Non-training days are the same as the standard ketogenic diet.

    4. High-protein ketogenic diet: This dietary pattern increases protein intake on top of the standard ketogenic diet, typically consisting of 30% protein, 60% fat, and 10% carbohydrates per day.

    5. Lean meat ketogenic diet: This dietary pattern emphasizes low-fat protein sources, such as chicken, turkey, fish, and seafood. Fat intake is typically slightly lower than that of the standard ketogenic diet, around 65-70%.


      Who is suitable for the ketogenic diet?

      Individuals who are overweight or obese: The ketogenic diet can help with weight and fat loss, improve metabolic function, and overall health.

      Individuals with diabetes: The ketogenic diet can help improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control, reducing the need for medication.

      Individuals with epilepsy: The ketogenic diet has been shown to have a certain degree of control over seizures.

      Individuals with metabolic syndrome: The ketogenic diet can help lower blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome.

      Individuals with certain neurodegenerative diseases: The ketogenic diet has shown effectiveness in preventing and treating certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.


      During a ketogenic diet, it is recommended to eat the following foods:

      • Meat: Beef, steak, ham, sausage, bacon, chicken, turkey
      • Fish: Salmon, trout, tuna, mackerel
      • Eggs: Free-range eggs
      • Butter and cream: Grass-fed butter and cream
      • Cheese: Cheddar, mozzarella, Chevre, cream cheese
      • Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds
      • Fruits: Guava, kiwi, grapefruit, watermelon, berries
      • Fat sources: Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil
      • Mushrooms: Enoki, shiitake, button, portobello
      • Low-carb vegetables: Tomatoes, onions, bell peppers
      • Seasonings: Salt, pepper, herbs

      The following foods are not recommended during a ketogenic diet:

      • Sugary drinks and foods: Soda, fruit juice, milk, cake, ice cream, candy
      • Grains: Wheat and its products (e.g. rice, pasta, cereal)
      • Fruits: Most fruits (e.g. apples, bananas, mangoes, dragon fruit)

          SuperHot Fat Burn

          The ketogenic diet, when combined with SuperHot's patented anti-sugar ingredients, can significantly reduce calorie intake and control carbohydrate consumption. Without sufficient sugar, the body will convert fat into energy, leading to the consumption of body fat and greatly enhancing weight loss results.

          SuperHot contains natural super fiber PHGG, a water-soluble fiber that, when combined with water in the digestive system, forms a gel-like substance, creating a natural barrier that slows and prolongs the breakdown of sugars and starches, inhibiting up to 50% sugar and 20% calorie absorption.

          Take one packet of SuperHot with 100ml of water, beverage, or food before each meal to help your body resist sugar and starch, reduce the burden of the ketogenic diet, and enjoy your food in moderation. It can also control the absorption of glucose and fats in your diet, such as carbohydrates, sugars, or high-fat foods, enabling you to effectively carry out your dietary plan.

            Superfood Lab's【Anti-Sugar Doctor】Rare Sugar

            In recent years, low-sugar and low-carbohydrate dietary methods have become popular, and rare sugars are used in menus to reduce sugar intake and achieve sugar control and weight loss.

            Rare sugars are a class of natural sugar molecules that are rare, such as xylose, arabinose, and mannose. Unlike common sugar molecules, some studies have shown that the intake of rare sugars can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce blood sugar and insulin levels in diabetic patients. In addition, rare sugars also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help improve vascular function and metabolic status in diabetic patients.

            Replacing common sugar intake with rare sugars may be a healthier dietary choice, reducing insulin use in diabetic patients and improving blood sugar and metabolic status.

            Rare sugar has 70% sweetness of sucrose, but contains 90% fewer calories than sucrose. In addition, its metabolic process is different from sucrose, and has minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. For those who are concerned about weight or blood sugar levels, even long-term consumption will not have a negative impact on health.
