Overview
The keto program involves a low carb and high fat diet; and I'm talking about healthy fat here.This type of diet gets the body into an efficient fat burning state. So, basically eating fat makes you lose fat.
Most information about how fat is evil and bad for your health is nonsense; what is even more irrational is that natural sources of fat like egg yokes and animal fat is unhealthy and should be replaced by manufactured "healthier" fats.
Well, that's not totally true; these natural fat sources are what you need to live a healthy life.
Of course, we have different bodies and everyone needs a varied amount of calories coming from fat even within the keto diet; therefore, stay within the recommended limit if you want it to work well for you.

What the Keto Diet Does to Your our body
When you start replacing fat with carbohydrates, your body also starts using a different fuel source for energy.
When fat is broken down it gives ketones that will be used to fuel your cells.

Adopting the keto diet, your insulin level goes down and thats very healthy.
Your pancreas produces more insulin when you consume too much carbs, especially in the form of sugar, in order to lower your blood sugar.
The problem is that the excess sugar in the blood stream will be converted into fat and stored in the liver and other part of the body like the belly.

After insulin gets rid of all that excess sugar in the blood, your body will need more fuel for energy, and this is why you feel hungey all the time between meals and have cravings for sweet things.
High carb diet is also associated with feeling fatigue especially after eating, high blood pressure, belly fat, lack of focus, poor memory and being Moody.

When you use fat as the main fuel source, your insulin drops significantly because the sugar in your blood stream is at a normal level, which means fat storage won't happen in this case.
What's even better; as there's no excess sugar in your blood and the fat that you eat takes longer to break down, your body will be forced to burn your body fat to use it for energy.

Keto and intermittent fasting
The keto diet work really well with this pattern of eating and not eating (intermittent fasting).
The idea is to eat less frequently in order not to have mutiple spikes in insulin throughout the day, and keep the fat burning process going between meals.

Even with having less meals, you are very unlikely to feel hungry, because your body is now adapting to this change and is using a different fuel source.
However, your body needs time at the beginning, a month or two, to adapt this change from carbs as the main source of fuel to your own body fat.

Reducing your meals doesn't necessarily mean reducing your calories intake.
However, most often, with this diet, you won't need as much calories as before to keep your bodily functions going or even to build muscle mass....
Yes, you can actually increase muscles, because when you're fasting, the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) increases in your body and prevents any damage to your muscle tissue.

How to Eat For a Keto
You can start by three meals a day and then reduce that to two meals.
During intermittent fasting, keep your first meal of the day as late as possible because HGH stops being produced once you have your first meal.

Every meal should be about 65% fat, 30% protein and 5% carbs.
Knowing that every one gram of fat is more that twice the calories of protein and fat (9 cal/g as opposed to 4 cal/g) the portion of fat in your plate will look smaller than the other two.
Let's say a quarter of your plate should be fat, the other quarter should be protein and half of the plate is going to be vegetables.
