What Will You Learn?

The ketogenic diet has gained popularity with many people. It is based on intermittent fasting and high fat, medium protein and low carbohydrate foods, which puts the body into ketosis. This means that it will burn fat, rather than carbohydrates, as fuel. In the 1920s, it gained popularity in treating epilepsy and, more recently, there is some research showing it may be used to help to improve longevity, other health issues and weight loss – where fast weight loss may occur, and the craving for sweet foods and carbohydrates disappears.

Many claim they feel healthier and more energised following this diet. Through studying the Ketogenic Diet Course, you will learn about foods that may improve your health and empower you to take charge of your eating habits with more sustainable choices, and gain the added benefit of losing excess weight. There are different types of ketogenic diet – you will discover which type will work best for you and your body. The Ketogenic Diet Diploma Course gives you a clear understanding of the ketogenic diet and a basic understanding of the nutrients your body requires.

To adopt a ketogenic diet, it is important to learn about ketosis, how to create ketosis in the body, its effects and what you need to know about intermittent fasting. You will learn which type of ketogenic diet would suit you; for example, standard, cyclical, therapeutic and others, to adapt to different situations. This will depend on your body's needs, which are different for men and women.
