What is ketosis?

The Ketogenic (keto) diet is a low carbohydrate, high fat and moderate protein diet. This drastic reduction in carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat, puts the body in a metabolic state called ketosis. This then makes your body more efficient at burning fat for energy plus, in the liver fat is converted into ketones which can supply energy for the brain. All of this then causes weight loss and a reduction in blood sugar and insulin levels, which reduces the risk of diabetes, cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. However, these benefits come from a 'clean' version of the diet and even then people have reported having flu like symptoms (aka keto flu) a few weeks into the diet. The diet can be very tough to follow. However, with some tips and tricks to help you get started the whole journey can seem less daunting and more achievable.

Whether you're starting your day with a full breakfast, or you have limited time and need a grab and go one, a bulletproof coffee should be a staple to your morning. This is because it contains no carbohydrates, so it doesn’t ‘wake up’ your metabolism. Instead, your body remains in a fasted state (also known as ketosis). Many people enjoy bulletproof coffee for breakfast so they can fast for as long as possible.
