Macro partitioning
Ketogenic diets, characterized by high fat and low carbohydrate intake, improve metabolic health and reduce body weight by shifting metabolism towards fatty acid oxidation and ketone production.
Adopt a ketogenic diet by limiting carbohydrates to under 40 grams per day, while increasing fat intake and keeping protein moderate. This shift forces your body to burn fat for fuel, which can lead to weight loss and improved metabolic markers.
