A year of worries and carbs.

Already after the first closure, data were published according to which most Israelis gained between 5-7 kg when they were closed at home. Since then we have gone through 3 more closures, a lot of uncertainty, anxiety and frustration, so it is not surprising that most of us end this difficult year with a measure or two more. Now that life is finally back on track, we can take our days off and start a diet.The only problem - we have run out of batteries a bit this year.

There are quite a few diets that have proven effective in recent years, most notably the ketogenic diet, but these diets require significant lifestyle changes and quite a bit of determination.

Fortunately, recently joined the list of diets that actually work also Lazy Keto, the moderate version of the ketogenic diet.

• This diet will allow you to eat carbs, and lots of them

• Can this diet really prevent the flu?

Adina Bachar, a ketogenic and diabetic dietitian at the DMC at Diabetes Center, explains that Lazy keto is a simpler version of the popular diet.

A regular ketogenic diet should drastically reduce carbohydrate intake and eat a large amount of fat and a moderate amount of protein "to get into a state of ketosis - a state where fat is used for energy," Bachar explains.

lazy keto requires people to only limit their carbohydrate intake to about 10 percent of calories, and unlike the classic ketogenic diet, it does not require a large intake of fats.

You can lose weight even without doing all the ketogenic way.

Bachar explains that according to studies, the traditional ketogenic diet may offer benefits for certain health conditions, including obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

"Under normal nutritional conditions, the body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which it uses as its main source of energy. When a person limits his carbohydrate intake, the body produces ketone bodies that will be used for energy instead of glucose. This condition of ketosis causes fat burning and positive metabolism," Bachar, "Limiting carbohydrate intake is the main motive for lactosis, but the relative consumption of other nutrients is also important."

A low-carb diet, or Lazy keto, can also be beneficial for weight loss, balancing diabetes and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, even if a person does not go into lactosis.

The very restriction of carbohydrates is beneficial because it is associated with avoiding processed and high-sugar foods.

As a result, it helps with weight management and health.

Who is Lazy keto suitable for?

This diet can work for "people who are afraid of extreme avoidance of carbohydrates and the need for very strict control over food components and the requirement to enter ketosis and maintain stability without exceeding," says Bachar.

The need not to deviate from a ketogenic diet is critical, as abnormalities in the classic ketogenic diet cause ketosis and when returning to the groove re-experience the side effects typical of diet adaptation: weakness, fatigue, dizziness, headaches and constipation.

"Therefore, the less restrictive approach may be suitable for those who like to eat out or cook larger meals for the family," Bachar adds.

There are people for whom the very restriction of carbohydrates works.

However, because the moderate ketogenic diet does not always cause lactosis, it may not promote weight loss as effectively as the traditional keto diet.

A person who does not monitor all of his food components may not create a caloric deficit necessary for weight loss, although there are people for whom the very restriction of carbohydrates works.

Recommended foods in the Lazy keto diet:

• Meat and chicken

• Fish and seafood

• Eggs

• Dairy foods, such as yogurt and cheese

• Healthy oils like olive oil and avocado oil

• Starch-free vegetables including leafy vegetables, broccoli, green beans, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and mushrooms

Restricted foods:

• Whole grains: bread, rice, rye, barley, oats, buckwheat and quinoa.

• Legumes: white, red and black beans, lentils, peas.

• Starchy vegetables: potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and corn

• Fruits: Blueberries and strawberries or fruits with a greater amount of carbohydrates like bananas, mangoes and grapes.

Pasta - no, Parmesan - yes.

Foods to avoid:

• White pasta, bread and rice

• Cakes, biscuits, sweets and pastries

• Ice cream and desserts

• Hot and cold drinks sweetened with sugar

• Cereal

• Snacks and chocolate

• Alcohol

• Prepared meals are rich in carbohydrates or added sugars

• Sauces, marinades and dips with a high percentage of sugar

Sample menu:

• Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms

• Lunch: roasted salmon and green salad

• Dinner: Chicken breast with broccoli, green beans and small baked sweet potatoes

• People interested in eating dessert after lunch or dinner can opt for a fresh blueberry dish with unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Lazy keto may be a less restrictive option than a ketogenic diet.

This approach can help lower carbohydrate intake and lose weight, perhaps as a first step before moving on to the ketogenic diet and easing the adjustment stages.

Bachar adds that restricting any food group can lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Therefore, for diabetics it is recommended to use a ketone meter and a continuous sugar meter without punctures in order to check the sugar condition at any given moment.

At the same time, it is important to consult with your medical staff and make sure that this diet is appropriate for your health condition.
