Introduction

T he keto diet is actually simple to understand. And at first, it seems difficult to put in practice, but it’s actually a lot easier than most people think. We begin by considering what are called macronutrients. These are the general classes of calories in our diet. In other words, we can get calories from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. So, when people are talking about “macros”, they are just talking about the ratios of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that are in your diet. The classification of the macro is-based on what molecules provided caloric energy. Before we get into the details of the keto diet, we need 0to understand the different macros and how they provide energy. Let’s start with carbohydrates.

A carbohydrate is any molecule-based on sugar. Glucose is the simplest sugar of all. It’s just one sugar molecule. Fructose is another simple sugar molecule that is found in fruit. There are more complex types of sugars, such as sucrose, which is a glucose and fructose molecule linked together. Beet and cane sugar are sucrose.

You can form long chains by linking up sugar molecules together. This is the basis of a starch. So, starch is really just a bunch of sugar molecules hooked up together. If you ever thought that eating potatoes was “healthy,” and yet you gain weight eating them, this could be a clue as to why. When you get right down to it, while it does contain many valuable vitamins and minerals, a potato is really a bunch of sugar. However, when sugar molecules form chains, the body has to break them apart in order to get at the energy.

The body needs glucose for energy; when people talk about blood sugar, they are talking about glucose. So, eating a potato is a little better than eating pure sugar as far as blood sugar is concerned, because it takes a bit of time to break it apart during digestion. So, the rise of blood sugar is slower and more gradual. But the truth is for a lot of people the digestion of starchy foods causes a lot of health problems. We will talk about that later.

Some carbohydrates actually can’t be digested by humans. These types of carbohydrates are known as dietary fiber. Dietary fiber can be helpful for the digestion of carbohydrates because the body has to break it apart in order to get at the carbohydrates that produce energy. For example, “whole grains” include indigestible components of the grain that help to slow the absorption of the carbohydrates in it that we can digest. For this reason, whole grains are often recommended for people with blood sugar problems, and for people on vegetarian diets, whole grains are often a major calorie source.

In the end, however, if you are prone to diabetes, whole grains can cause blood sugar problems. In some people, they can be almost as problematic as eating simple carbohydrates like white bread.

But no matter what type of carbohydrate-based food you eat—be it potatoes, berries, fruit, or bread—in the end, it’s broken down into glucose that your body can use for energy.
