Low carbohydrate nutrition - fats

There are many different kinds of nutrition plans and diets that can be found either online, or also in many other sources. Many of them are based on a biological mechanism known as ketosis, in which your body stops using carbs as the primary source of energy, and instead uses its own body fat, and fat that is taken with food, as the main energy source. The mentioned biomechanism known as ketosis can be achieved by a ketogenic kind of diet, which is basically nothing else but just another name for a low carbohydrate diet, because on the ketogenic diet, your goal is to eat food that is rich in fats and proteins, and low in carbs. There are many different meals and food you can eat in order to meet the mentioned criteria.Thanks to the fact that in the state of ketosis, your own fat as well as the fat you take with food, gets used as an energy source. Because of that, on the ketosis based diet, one can take higher amounts of fat, than would otherwise seem reasonable. Since the majority of meals taken during ketosis is based on meat, eggs and cheese, the fat intake is mostly already on a relatively high level. However there are also other sources of fat that can be combined with other types of meals so that one can get fed up more easily. Two of the most well known and most often used are mayonnaise and tartar sauce. Both of them have relatively high amounts of fat - mayonnaise has about 80 grams of fat per 100 grams, and tartar sauce has around 50 grams of fat per 100 grams. Because of that thay are both good sources of fat, that can easily be combined with, or added to various different meals.There are also many other sources of fats that can be combined with other meals on a ketogenic diet, one should only make sure that nothing containing to high amounts of carbohydrates is added.
