The Western diet or Standard American Diet (SAD) is today's diet pattern that includes eating a lot of red and processed meat, butter, high-sugar drinks, refined grains eggs, and high-fat dairy products. It's ironic that the abbreviation for the Standard American Diet is S.A.D. since it is very “sad” that our diet consists of unhealthy foods.

To turn this ship around, we need to spread the word about trying a healthier diet, which can prevent and reverse chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes. One diet that studies have shown is a healthier way of living is the keto diet, which uses an efficient metabolic process through ketosis.

If you're new to learning about ketosis, the Body Reboot book goes into further detail about what happens to a body when it goes through it. There are several benefits you will experience from ketosis, which is when a body converts fat into energy instead of utilizing carbs. Not to mention your metabolic process vastly improves!

Ketogenic is the human native metabolic process. It is a different metabolic process from the process SAD requires. The ketogenic diet is mostly fat, limited amount of protein, and very small amounts of carbohydrates—the exact opposite of SAD. Eating carbohydrates or protein require insulin for conversion to glucose. Fat is the only macro-nutrient that doesn’t need insulin to generate ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)–in ketosis the role of insulin is fat regulation rather than glucose management to generate ATP (here). ATP is cellular energy, which, after all, is the goal of eating macro-nutrients.

Ketogenic is a simpler metabolic process that burns fat, so the belly you built up over the years can be used up as energy. Furthermore, since our brain is mostly made from fat, we might as well feed it fat. Feeding the brain fat is beneficial to your health in many ways. The ketogenic diet has been used therapeutically because of the high fat. It is used as curative today for epilepsy, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, for neuromuscular diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS, sleep disorders and autism, and even migraines and much more. It appears that the ketogenic way of eating cures the negative consequences of the SAD diet.
