One of the ways Naima Cheema, MD might suggest for you to lose weight is with the ketogenic diet. This is a high-fat, low-carb diet that offers one of the quickest ways possible to lose weight. By consuming fat in up to 90% of your calories, your body is forced to burn stored fat rather than its preferred source of fuel — glucose.
People who follow the ketogenic diet can expect to lose up to two pounds a week. Some people find they lose up to ten pounds the first week, before losing the average of two pounds in succeeding weeks.
The keto diet focuses on lowering your carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. For this reason, some people find that it’s easier to follow than some other traditional diets that focus on eliminating fat.
Some keto-friendly foods include:
Keto greatly reduces your blood sugar and insulin level, making it a great diet for those who are diabetic. It’s also been shown to benefit a variety of other chronic health conditions like heart disease, cancer, and epilepsy.
Dr. Cheema may suggest a variety of medications and/or supplements to help your body to adjust to your weight loss plan. These can help boost your energy, make you feel full for longer, and allow you to burn fat at a higher rate.
Here are some of the medications and supplements we use:
