MCT Oil: MCT fatty acids are medium-chain fatty acids. They are the oil best absorbed by the human intestine. Supplementing with MCT coconut oil is especially recommended for athletes and people with increased physical activity.
Fatty acids : Fatty acids are the building blocks of body fat and the foods we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids , which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Intermittent Fasting: Intermittent fasting involves alternating periods of fasting with periods of eating. There are different types of intermittent fasting, the most well-known being 16/8 fasting (going without eating for 16 hours and eating meals within 8 hours), 24/8 fasting, and 48/8 fasting, although there are also others such as 12/12 fasting.
Bulletproof Coffee : This is the invention of Californian engineer and biohacker Dave Asprey, who after years of testing, combined ingredients to create this formula. It's a blend of coffee, two tablespoons of low-fat organic butter and grass-fed cow's milk, and what he calls "Brain Octane Oil," a coconut oil he's enriched himself. This creates a drink with over 400 calories, a thick coffee rich in healthy fats and caffeine—the ketogenic formula for energy without carbs.
Carbohydrates : Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. There are two main types of carbohydrates: sugars (such as those found in milk, fruits, table sugar, and candy) and starches, which are found in cereals, breads, cookies, and pasta.
Ketosis : State the body enters when carbohydrate-containing foods are not consumed and blood sugar levels (as well as glycogen stores in muscles and liver) have been depleted, and cells turn to fats to obtain the energy they need.
80% Chocolate : This is chocolate that contains 80% cocoa, also known as dark chocolate. The higher the cocoa content, the lower the sugar content.
Ketone Bodies : Ketone bodies, or ketones, are waste products of fat. They are produced when the body uses fats instead of sugars to generate energy.
Ketogenic Diet : The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan that offers many health benefits. In fact, around 20 studies show that this type of diet can help with weight loss and improved health. Ketogenic diets may even have benefits against diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, and Alzheimer's disease.
Electrolytes : In the human body, electrolytes such as sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium and calcium are essential for cell survival.
Erythritol : Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol fermented from sugars and found in many vegetables and fruits. It is 70% as sweet as sugar. The main characteristic of this popular product is its low calorie content.
Stevia : Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a plant native to Paraguay that is used as a sugar substitute. Indigenous people in Paraguay were already using this plant in the 16th century to sweeten beverages and medicines.
Free carb : A widely used English expression that means "free of carbohydrates."
Gluten : Gluten is a highly nutritious and beneficial protein for everyone, but it's also difficult to digest and often causes bloating. The reason is that our bodies don't have the enzymes necessary to fully digest it, and it's precisely these small undigested pieces that can cause intestinal problems.
Xanthan Gum : Xanthan gum is a thickener derived from the fermentation of corn starch. It is a powerful thickener and effective food stabilizer (foams, emulsions, ice cream, etc.). Xanthan gum is also a powerful agent that provides stability to foams, whipped cream, and meringues.
Keto Flu : The keto flu is simply the set of flu-like symptoms that many individuals experience at the beginning of a keto diet.
Almond flour : Almond flour is ground almonds. It can be made from peeled or whole almonds and has a consistency similar to cornmeal. Due to its low carbohydrate content and low glycemic index, it is recommended for people on a low-carb diet or diabetics . It has the same uses as regular wheat flour.
Coconut Flour: Organic coconut flour is the dried, powdered pulp of a coconut from which coconut oil is extracted. It has a coconut aroma and a delicate, sweet flavor. It has strong moisture-absorbing properties.
Keto: Keto is an abbreviation for the English word " ketogenic." It's based on inducing a state of ketosis, the state in which the body, after burning all available sugars, begins to burn fat.
Macros: Macronutrients are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Depending on your diet, you need all of these macronutrients in certain amounts. A perfect balance of macronutrients ensures a healthy weight and much more efficient fat burning.
Metabolism: Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that take place in the body's cells to convert food into energy. Our bodies need this energy for everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing.
Obesity : Obesity is a complex condition involving excessive body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic problem. It's a medical condition that increases your risk of diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. A waist circumference greater than or equal to 102 cm in men and greater than or equal to 88 cm in women is also considered a sign of obesity.
Psyllium: It is a natural sweetener, derived from organic banana peel in powder form.
Vegan : Veganism is a philosophy and eating behavior that rejects the consumption of foods and substances of animal origin, that is, animal products such as meat, dairy products, eggs, and derivatives. Instead, people prefer to consume vegetables, fruits, and the like.
