Pronounced like the word “key” and the word “toe” — Kee-tō
1.Shorthand for ketosis & often used as a prefix when used in this sense. (Ex. “Keto-Flu) — a state where the body stops using glucose as it’s primary energy source. Ketones, stored fat, & some amino acids become the primary sources.
2. Shorthand forketogenic diet — A medical diet prescribed to either reduce seizures in epileptics or reduce spikes in diabetics. The goal of keto is to achieve a sustained state of ketosis. Low calorie keto is often utilized by slimmers & lifters to cut a large
percentage of body fat quickly, so it
sometimes is thought as a fad-diet or even a crash-diet.
When used to cut fat there are 5 basic guidelines.
1. Most carbs eaten should be low netcarb, complex carbs & free of added sugar.
2.Eat more cal from fat than protein & more from protein than carbs. Protein can be
broken down into glucose so eating too much threatens ketosis.
3.Restricting cal to 5% from carbs or less is most ideal. 10% is considered good for an active athlete who burns through glucose quickly.
4. Start out eating a highfat (65%-70%) & moderate
protein diet (25%-20%).
5.Gradually work toward a very highfat (75%-85%) & low/moderate protein (20%-10%)—no less than 10% for an extended period. Too little can cause a starvation response where the body burns muscle protein for energy instead of using stored fat & the amino acids in dietary protein.
