Sharing personal experiences

The author's experience Personally, I can say that the Ketogenic Diet has changed my life, losing 25kg in less than five months. This has helped to eliminate my overweight problem, irritable bowel syndrome and even my dermatitis. On the contrary, for many years I tried to manage these problems with other dietary alternatives, such as the Mediterranean and low-carb diets, which allow a small percentage of carbohydrates, small amounts of beef and chicken, and more portions of fresh vegetables and fruit, nuts and legumes. However, eating carbohydrates is synonymous with insulin spikes that lead to visceral fat and long-term diabetes, whereas on the ketogenic diet the body begins to produce ketones, using fat for energy. At the beginning of my ketogenic diet, I experienced withdrawal symptoms as a result of my addiction to the sugars and starches I used to consume in milk, bread, fruit, snacks and other unhealthy foods. Within two weeks of starting the ketogenic diet, I began to feel more vital and energetic than I had on other diets, even those recommended by nutritionists. This improvement was continuous and was reflected in my appearance, health and self-esteem. However, for professional reasons, as I work as a chef for a prestigious company in Colombia, it was impossible for me to continue with the ketogenic diet and it affected my physical condition.

Introduction

Interest in what foods to eat, how to eat them, when to eat them and in what quantities has increased in recent times, given their direct impact on physical and mental health and, of course, aesthetics and life expectancy. Hundreds of diets have emerged, giving rise to different lifestyles that largely determine the behaviour of a society in which healthy eating has been a constant throughout history. Today, people continue to buy foods that are healthy, convenient, enjoyable, adapted to individual needs and, above all, provide additional health benefits. Within a healthy and balanced diet, foods consumed in appropriate quantities, combinations and nutritional balance should not only provide the energy and nutrients the body needs, but also have preventive and curative powers against certain diseases. However, the fundamentals of a healthy and balanced diet are being challenged by other forms of modern dieting, such as ketogenic and vegan diets. By Juan Diego Torres Torres. Student

A healthy and balanced diet

Imagen
By Juan Diego Torres Torres It is important to understand the difference between a healthy and a balanced diet; the former refers to the consumption of natural, unprocessed foods, including fruits and vegetables, healthy fats such as nuts and olive oil, meat, fish and eggs, whole grains, natural dairy products, etc. On the other hand, a balanced diet is one that provides the necessary nutrients for each organism, depending on age, sex, size, lifestyle, physical activity and even health condition. This type of diet provides the right balance of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and antioxidants) and fibre. Thus, by combining the terms 'healthy' and 'wholefood', we obtain a varied and natural diet that meets a person's specific needs, consuming foods that avoid malnutrition and help prevent non-communicable and other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and obesity, according to the World Health O
