Lose Those Stubborn Pounds on a 7-Day Keto Meal Plan
Check out the meal plan — I started it this week
Here is a 7-day Keto meal plan. I am planning on starting this week. It will help me lose at least a stone.
The ketogenic (keto) diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that encourages the body to enter a metabolic state called ketosis. In ketosis, the body burns fat for energy instead of relying on carbohydrates. This shift in metabolism can lead to significant weight loss, especially in the early stages.
By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake (usually to around 20–50 grams per day), the body depletes its glycogen stores — its primary source of quick energy. When glycogen is no longer available, the liver begins converting fat into ketones, which fuel the body and brain. As a result, the body becomes more efficient at burning fat, including stored body fat, leading to weight loss.
One reason people lose weight on the keto diet is that fats and proteins are more satiating than carbs. This means you’re likely to feel full longer, reducing the tendency to snack or overeat. Additionally, the diet tends to reduce blood sugar and insulin levels, which can help decrease fat storage and control cravings.
