Do you lose weight faster on keto or Paleo?

We all have different reasons to go on dieting, but at the same time choosing a diet has become so difficult that we are unable to determine the right diet for us. Diet trends are always a topic of debate these days.

Similarly, we have mostly heard of the two very popular and happening diets of the recent times – The Paleo Diet and the Keto Diet. May be you have done all your research in one or the both to check what they are like and which one you would choose. But we can bet that you still have a lot to be explained and answered. They do share a lot of similarities, but at the same time there are differences in their effects or how they impacts the body, the foods they allow and their key health effects.

Firstly, the Paleo or the Paleolithic Diet is aimed to eliminate all kind of processed foods
To attain health and weight loss targets. It purely focuses of eating the kinds of foods that probably human have eaten during the Stone Age (meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, roots and nuts).
We can say that a Paleo Diet could be either high in carbs OR low in carbs depending on a person’s peculiar food choices. We can simply say that a person’s Paleo Diet could be HIGH in meat and poultry and LOW in fruits, veggies and nuts OR could be VICE VERSA.
The ratio of the micronutrients – proteins, fats and carbohydrates could widely vary and there is no exact formula.

On the flip side, Keto or Ketogenic Diet aims to get the body into the state of ketosis, where it starts burning fat as its primary source of energy resulting in health gain and weight loss. The focus is to eat a particular balance of micronutrients – 70 to 80% fats, 15 – 20% proteins and not more than 5% carbohydrates. The aim of the diet is to device the body system to run on fats and not on carbohydrates.
A Keto Diet is purely an eating plan that focuses on eating plenty of healthy fats, a small amount of protein and minimal carbohydrates. It is very much a restrictive sort of diet. The human body typically uses carbohydrates as its source of fuel for energy. But, when the body does not get enough carbs, it enters the state of KETOSIS. Ketosis is the state when the body starts using the fat supply and stores and some proteins for its fuel for energy. The majority of people find Keto Diets more effective and satisfying and all because of the high fat intake. Hence, they report of no cravings and effective fat loss from their body.

Stringent Ketogenic Diets are extensively being used for medical purposes to treat and control cancers and shrink tumors, since higher blood sugar feeds cancerous cells and hence running the body on fats can helps starve these cancer cells over a period of time. Though, this is just a TOOL to fight against cancers and not the cure. It has to be combined with other means of treatments.
A Keto Diet is backed with several evidences that it helps in the reversal of type 2 Diabetes and slows and reverses Alzheimer’s too.

But, all said and done, there are…
