To lose weight more quickly on a ketogenic diet, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. Strictly control carbohydrate intake: Ensure your daily carbohydrate intake remains between 20-50 grams. This helps maintain a state of ketosis and accelerates fat burning.
2. Increase intake of healthy fats: Choose foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, and fish oil. These not only provide energy but also help maintain cardiovascular health.
3. Maintain healthy lifestyle habits: Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late, which helps maintain normal metabolic levels in the body and promotes weight loss.
4. Sufficient hydration and electrolyte supplementation: The ketogenic diet can easily lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Extra attention should be given to staying hydrated and supplementing electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
5. Increase physical activity: Combining appropriate exercise can accelerate weight loss. Strength training can help the body burn glycogen and enter a deeper state of ketosis, while high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can continuously burn fat and improve fat-burning efficiency.
