The Hype about the Keto diet does not break down to impressive are the success stories that you can admire on Instagram and co. are.
Crucial for the success of the diet is a change in metabolism, which is referred to as “ketosis” and ensures that the body to convert its own fat reserves into energy.

2. More fat eat
Before now, false hopes with regard to Chicken Wings, French fries and co. resources: are Meant, of course, only healthy fats!
Such unsaturated fatty acids with high Omega-3 percentage, for example, in vegetable oils, nuts or Avocados.
It may not be worth it, so just for the little Hunger in between, to keep always a few nuts in the Desk drawer, for example, macadamia nuts. Because fats are not only tired of, but also increase the ketone level in the body. Ketones are formed when fatty acid breakdown in the liver – therefore, the higher the number of Ketones in the body, the more successful the ketosis seems to be.
3. Coconut oil in the narrow
A similar influence in terms of the levels of ketones coconut oil has on the body. According to one study, the addition of a little coconut oil can’t help with the meal just to get to the ketosis state is maintained, but also to set him in faster.
The explanation of this is found in the structure of the coconut oil contained in oils and fats, known as medium chain triglycerides or MCT. This body is able to absorb particularly quickly and easily, since they are directly converted in the liver to energy and Ketones. The same is true for MCT Oil.
4. Interval fasting a try
Added: in Addition to getting the diet also occasional fasting to heart, raises no enthusiasm.
And, of course, – the taken straight to the point – enjoy this Trick with caution. Because the diet and the conversion of the metabolism one requires the body is already a lot.

However, a break between the last meal of the day and first meal the next day from 14 to 18 hours can lead already taken, the body is placed in a small ketosis state because it refers to this time, his energy from the body fat cells.
So, who is generally a Fan of the 16:8 diet and no Problem with the 16 hour fast window, the fast method helps very easy to get faster into ketosis.
