Lose 10 Kilos With Keto

Barely had breakfast and your stomach’s already rumbling? If you only had toast and jam or a croissant this is not surprising, as it gets digested very quickly. As a consequence, the body wants energy – quickly. To obtain this, it tends to want fast-acting energy sources, such as sugary carbs. Except these are precisely the foods that prevent us from losing those extra kilos, maintaining our weight, and staying healthy. So how do we break this vicious circle? By eating fat to lose our fat, claims Dr Bock. With a recent study conducted by the Technical University of Munich and the University of Vienna confirming this theory, we talked to Dr Bock to find out more.

Dr Bock, you’re calling for people to eat more fat, so as to break down more fat. That sounds like a total contradiction

Dr Bock: Fat doesn’t make us fat! That’s one of the biggest misconceptions in nutrition. We gain weight from carbohydrates like bread rolls, potatoes and pasta. They program our body to put on weight by stimulating the release of insulin, the ‘fattening hormone’.

And fat works differently?

Yes. This is evident in the differences between the way the body metabolises fats and carbohydrates. Dietary fats are broken down in the gut and split into fatty acids. The longer their chain, the longer this takes. But this doesn’t result in an extreme rise in blood sugar. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in the gut, whose cells suck the sugar directly into the blood using special pumps – almost like a vacuum cleaner. This creates an energy explosion of sorts. If you eat a croissant made from white flour, this will be digested extremely quickly, and the energy will instantly be supplied – whether we need it or not.

And what happens then?
