Leave a reply

Had some time this morning since I am not working so I decided to make a real keto diet breakfast which I do now and then. It is a very simple omelet that contains a lot of good things inside which makes it taste just excellent. I can eat this omelet both for lunch and as a breakfast and I have it maybe once per week or sometimes even more often than that. This is a perfect dish to make when on a keto diet and it is also so easy to make this type of keto breakfast.

Keto Diet Breakfast Recipe

Start out by taking 3 big eggs and crack them into a bowl. Whip them up together with some salt and pepper and then fry the eggs in a pan on both sides until it is done. Do not forget to add plenty of butter and olive oil in the pan first.

As the main ingredients for this keto diet breakfast omelet I use bacon, ham, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, jalapenos, onion and some spices. I fry the bacon and ham together until it gets a nice color and then I add on the chopped tomatoes and onion together with the jalapenos. Let it all fry together for around 2 to 3 minutes and then add on plenty of cheese on top and let the cheese melt. I also add on some sun dried tomatoes on top and also add some chili powder spices and some Tabasco sauce to make it a little more spicy.

Keto diet for epilepsy and diabetes treatment

1 Reply

The keto diet is a great diet if you simply want to loose weight or improve your health. I have personally lost over 60 pounds in 4 months by using the keto diet and it has also made me feel much better and that I have much more energy during the day. As long as I can remember I have been overweight and not been able to loose weight no matter what method I have tried. But when I tried the keto diet I directly noticed results and have been doing so far over 4 months now.

The keto diet is a diet that in difference with other diets promote you to actually eat a high amount of fat and a very low amount of cabohydrates. The intake of protein should be around 1.5g per 2 pounds that you weigh. By eating according to this diet your body will change from using carbohydrates as the main energy and instead start using the fat in your body. This is done by instead of changing carbohydrates to glucose the body now transformers fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies are then used by your body as it’s energy source which is more efficient than using glucose.

The use of ketone bodies instead of glucose as the energy source will also help e.g. people with diabetes since the blood sugar levels will be greatly decreased and many people with diabetes have noticed a great difference in their general health when switching to a keto diet.

The origin of the keto diet is something that is debated on the internet and you will find different statements on where the keto diet originally comes from. In my view it all started back in 1920 as a diet was developed to help with the treatment of epilepsy. The diet that was then researched and developed was very similar to what today is called the keto diet. This diet was used for over a century as an efficient treatment of epilepsy, mainly in children and young adults.

Another popular source for where the keto diet got famous was from the Charlie Foundation which was founded by Jim Abrahams. Jim had a son that had epilepsy and with the help of a diet similar to the keto diet the sons problems almost disappeared. In recent time the keto diet is not only used to help with epilepsy but also to help people loose weight and to have a better health.

If you have tried many other diets that have only made you loose the weight for a short time and when you stop you just get back that weight loss directly then I recommend you to try the keto diet instead. It has greatly helped me with my weight loss.

Fat bombs on a keto diet

Leave a reply

Have you heard about fat bombs before? It might be the solution to your problems with a keto diet. Many of the people who are on a keto diet have problems getting enough fat in their daily eating. Sometimes it can be hard to find food that contains a lot of fat and that will increase your daily fat percentage to around 80% which is ideal for the keto diet. A lot of people also want some kind of snack that they can eat in front of the television which can also be hard to find when on a keto diet.

The solution to this problem could be fat bombs which is something that is good both to increase your fat intake in your daily dieting and also as a nice snack when you want a special treat for yourself.

How to find keto fat bombs recipe?

Keto fat bombs can be done in many different ways and there are many different recipes that describe how to make fat bombs. One of the best resources for recipes for fat bombs we found over at dietketo.com and they also have a nice collection of links to other sites that have written about fat bombs and recipes to make them.

Usually the main ingredient for making fat bombs is butter but there are also other ingredients that can be used. Some of the fat bomb recipes use coconut oil as the main ingredient which is a very good source to get your daily intake of fat. There are of course also other good ingredients that can be used but I have not really tried any other so I can not really recommend them.

Questions from our readers about training

Leave a reply

Here are some questions and answers related to exercise that we have received lately.

Could I do workout when I have a cold or a soar throat?

You should absolutely not work out if you have a sore throat or a fever! I understand that it can be hard to stay away from training, but you do yourself a disservice if you exercise when you are sick. If you have a severe infection in the body so you are more likely, for example, myocarditis, and you definitely aggravate the infection. You do not need to cease all physical activity, unless you are bedridden course! A leisurely stroll works great. If you a cold maybe you should not embark on a tough cardio session in the running track, but you do not avoid exercise altogether. Lighter weight training is preferable to cardio. Let your common sense decide! Feel of your body and give you time to cure, otherwise the infection may get worse.

What is functional training that people talk so much about?
 
Functional training involves working out what the individual in question has been useful in their everyday lives and in their lives. This means that the functional training is personalized and therefore looks different for different individuals. However, you can conclude that functional exercise designed to strengthen the body and create stability. The functional exercise is not about is the visual outcome, such as abs.

They say that exercise improves sleep. But I do not sleep well when I work out … why?
 
There is a clear link between exercise and good sleep, that is, those who exercise regularly sleep better. But I also think it has to do with what kind of exercise you do and at what time. I’m guessing you usually work out in the evenings? Personally, I sleep worse if I’ve trained a really hard cardio and strength workouts after 19.00. When the body is too much “in time” and I find it difficult to unwind. Is it the same for you? Try more morning and lunch workout or quieter workout on just late nights. Also if you are on a diet like the keto diet it could also impact your sleeping.

Exercising on a keto diet, what to think of

Leave a reply

If you are exercising while on a low carb diet like the keto diet there are some things you need to think about. If you are focusing on condition training then you can go on as you eat today and do not need to make any major changes. Some people prefer to add a little higher intake of carbohydrates directly after the training to improve their recovery but it is not really needed.

If your focus with your exercises in to improve in muscles and weight lifting then you need to consider if your main focus should be on weight loss or gaining muscles. It is of course possible to do both at the same time but it will not be the maximal muscle gain in this way. Training on keto diet is always possible, but needs special thought.

The minimum you should do is to add somewhere around 20 to 80 gram of carbohydrates directly after your training so you can ensure your muscles get enough energy to grow. You should also ensure you have a little higher protein intake than normal. When doing heavy weight lifting at the gym it is better if you are at around 1.4g of protein per body kilo instead of around 0.8-1.0g per body kilo. By doing these small changes you will optimize your weight lifting training and your muscle gain.
