All you need to know about the Keto 2.0

What is Keto 2.0 and is it healthy?

Right from celebs to fitness enthusiasts, Ketogenic diet is one of the most popular diets that has turned out to be a love for health conscious people. This is simply because of its healthy eating pattern, which focuses on a low carb high-fat diet.

Interestingly, diet is very subjective, what works for one, might not work for the other person. However, much like every fad diet, there are several benefits of a keto diet and a few ill effects too, but what has made this diet a hit among people is that it allows one to eat their favorite delicacies by just avoiding and reducing the carb intake.

No wonder, the new Keto 2.0 diet has been introduced as to bridge the gaps between the original keto diet. In fact, as per the typical keto diet, the food was generally broken down to macronutrients, which includes carbohydrates, proteins and fats; generally in the proportion of 5 percent, 20 percent and 75 percent from the total daily calorie intake.

What is Keto 2.0?

The new Keto 2.0 works on lapses in the traditional ketogenic diet. It basically works on three main purposes: Firstly, to make the diet regime more flexible. Secondly, to make it more sustainable and lastly to make the diet accessible and easy to follow. In fact, as we say the upgraded or rather revised form of the ketogenic diet focuses majorly on animals fats and proteins.

As per Ethan Weiss, MD, a San Francisco based cardiologist, there is no clear way of practising a keto diet. This diet has no such rule book. In fact, this diet gives one the liberty to relish their favourite fatty foods like bacon, butter, steak and other foods high in animal-based saturated fats.However, it does work on reducing weight as well as body fat, but at the same time can increase LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol level in the body, which is not good for the heart health.

He further validates that Keto 2.0 clearly states sourcing unsaturated fats, which can be derived from plant-based foods like avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds. Bacon and other animal-based food can also be replaced with fish like salmon, which has a good amount of omega 3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats. In fact, this can help in managing the LDL levels as well as maintain a healthy heart health as too much of meat often aggravated heart issues. Apart from that introduction of plant-based protein will also induce fiber content in the body and improve the digestive system and eventually improve metabolism.

In fact, in this new diet version-Keto 2.0, the focus will be more on plant-based foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, cauliflower, mushroom, etc. These foods are not only great in nutritional content but are also high in fiber, which makes this keto 2.0 perfect for health and sustainable too!

In a nutshell, it can be concluded that following Keto 2.0 will be a lot easier for the body and this is due to the flexibility and high nutritional aspect of this revised diet.
