Keto vs Atkins -Which Diet Is Most Beneficial For Women's Hormonal Health, Energy Levels & Fertility

In this video, we will be talking about Keto vs Atkins - Which diet is most beneficial for women's hormonal health, energy levels & fertility.

1) First up the Keto diet.
The Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and ultra-low-carb diet. This diet works by sending the body into ketosis, a physiological state that occurs when your body is forced to burn fat cells instead of glucose (due to the absence of carbs) as a form of energy.

Ketones provide a much more efficient and cleaner fuel source than glucose. Think of ketones as sourcing the energy for an electric car: you get smooth, quiet, and clean energy. On the other hand, running your body on glucose is equivalent to using diesel fuel: the process is dirty with lots of exhaust. (Volkswagon scandal anyone? Ok i digress...)

2) The Atkins diet
Well actually both Keto & Atkins diet plans are quite similar in the sense that they both promote low carbohydrate intake. Where they differ is that:

- Atkins diet plan has 4 stages. Starting with restricting carbs to 20g a day then increasing them at every stage. Keto follows the same regime throughout.
- Atkins has no upper limit on the protein intake whereas Keto restricts protein to no more than 20-25% of your dietary intake.
- You don’t eat as much healthy fat in Atkins as you do in Keto
- Keto centres on the body being in ketosis during the entire period of the diet, while ketosis plays a role only during phase one and possibly two of Atkins.
- Atkins advocates not skipping meals and even snacking with protein bars whereas Keto suggests to only eat when you are hungry without any snacking
- Atkins vegetable recommendation of 2-3 cups a day is very low compared to 7-10 cups a day on Keto
- Atkins suggests eating 3-5 small meals a day whereas ketosis is best achieved on 2-3 meals a day or on intermittent fasting
