In the world of dieting, you will find many options. From cabbage soup (yuck!) to balanced diets and everything in between. Some of them are strange and thankfully in the past (tapeworm diet, chewing diet, cigarette diet), and others actually make sense.
One of the better ones is the ketogenic diet. This diet is well-known for being a low carb diet, which causes the body to produce ketones in the liver to be used as energy.
Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet
There are several benefits of the ketogenic diet from the skin to weight loss. Here, we will focus on two: weight loss and blood sugar control.

Weight loss
The ketogenic diet uses body fat as a source of energy, so the health loss benefit is obvious. In fact, the ketogenic diet has shown better results compared to diets low in fat and high in carbs.
Blood sugar control
The low intake of carbs naturally lowers blood sugar levels when in a keto diet. The ketogenic diet is actually a more effective way to manage and prevent diabetes, compared to a low-calorie diet.
If you have type 2 diabetes or are in a pre-diabetic stage, you should consider a ketogenic diet. However, I strongly suggest you consult your physician and/or dietician if you plan to start your diet.
But if you’re missing a good sandwich, you can make your own keto bread by using almond flour instead of a wheat flour. Here is a quick recipe for you:
