A new type of keto diet, which is now called „Keto 2.0“ by many doctors and scientists, is gradually gaining attention worldwide. According to various nutritionists in the US, the new form of the keto diet could be twice as effective as the original form. This should also be five to seven times easier to follow. 1
The keto diet made headlines in 2016 and has since become one of the most popular diets worldwide. Interestingly, many studies suggest that the high-fat diet actually helps people lose weight.
For example, a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine with 132 participants showed that the ketogenic diet was three times more effective than a low-fat diet in terms of weight loss. 2
Another study from 2015 found that on a keto diet compared to a low-fat diet, the fat consumption per minute is 228.6% higher. 3
Despite worldwide success and scientific efficiency, the keto diet did not seem to work in many people because there was no obvious difference in physical appearance.
When asked why the diet had not worked for them, the same answers were always heard: „You have to plan too much“, „The information about the diet is too overwhelming“, or „you eat the same dishes all the time“.
However, the newly developed form of the keto diet could soon make the original diet look old-fashioned…
What is the fundamental difference to the old form of the keto diet? It is incredibly diverse (there are over 10,000 different recipes), fat consumption and „ketosis“ are reached faster, and with the new form of diet, you don’t need to write down calories, fat, and carbohydrates.
In the words of a nutritionist specializing in high-fat and low-carb diets, „Everything that originally made the diet seem so complicated is now gone, but at the same time it is twice as efficient.“
In this article, our editors share everything you need to know about this new, „improved“ keto diet.
The Keto Diet in a Nutshell
Many of us have heard of the keto diet. Whether it’s celebrities who have shared their favorite keto recipes on Instagram, friends and family who are eager to share their latest keto recipes with you, or different articles that tell of incredible success stories where people have lost more than 20 kilos thanks to keto…
As a reminder, we have briefly summarized the ketogenic diet here:
In the keto diet, it is important to consume a lot of fat and a little protein while reducing the intake of carbohydrates to a minimum. In a typical ketogenic diet, according to nutritionists, about 70% of the food is said to consist of fat, 25% of proteins and 5% of carbohydrates. After 3 to 4 days, the glucose content in the body is used up by this diet. Glucose is an energy supplier for the body, which is produced by the intake of carbohydrates. During a keto diet, only a few carbohydrates are consumed, which leads to a drastic reduction in the glucose content in the body.
Since our body does not have enough glucose to perform the bodily functions, it gets the energy from fats instead. This type of fat burning is called „ketosis“ and makes it possible to lose excess pounds, since in this state the body consumes a lot of energy and uses fat as an energy source.
One of the main benefits of the ketogenic diet is rapid weight loss compared to other diets. At the same time, you do not have to do without delicious, fatty dishes such as bacon, sausages, eggs, cheese, butter, steak or fried chicken.
Below we will report on the new, „outdated“ form of the keto diet, which allows us to achieve the coveted, fat-burning ketosis so much faster than the conventional form…
What Does Science Say About the New Keto Diet
While some people are still skeptical about the benefits of a keto diet, many peer-reviewed studies show that the ketogenic diet is more successful than most other diets.
A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine with 132 obese participants showed that the ketogenic diet leads to more fat loss on the abdomen compared to a low-fat diet and can increase weight loss by three times. 2
Another important study in the „American Journal of Clinical Nutrician“ has also found that high-fat diets lead to a much higher weight loss compared to low-fat diets. 4
In other words, the study participants who adhered to a ketogenic diet while eating large amounts of „fat“ foods, such as cheese, bacon, sausages, or chicken wings with barbecue sauce, lost more fat and weight, meaning the „low-fat“ group.
Furthermore, a meta-analysis of 13 randomized control trials published in the British Journal of Nutrition came to the same conclusion:
„Individuals on a VLCKD [very low carbohydrate ketonic diet] have achieved greater weight loss in the long term than those on an LFD [low fat diet].“ 5
But that’s not all. One of the main reasons why most diets don’t work is that people can’t control their cravings and then jump on one of their favorite foods to satisfy cravings (which you then regret a short time later).
Interestingly, nutritionists have also found that the keto diet can actually control such cravings and reduce the feeling of hunger by up to 62%. 4
Most recently, scientists have also found that people could burn up to 1.6 grams of fat per minute due to the high fat burning caused by „ketosis“ – which is 228.6% faster compared to a low-fat diet. 3
What Doctors Think of the Keto Diet
„A ketogenic diet actually increases the increase in muscle mass and also increases fat burning. It reduces hunger and stimulates all sorts of positive effects on the body that have an anti-inflammatory effect. These are all very far-reaching advantages.“
Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, medical director at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine
„For the normal, healthy person, this diet is probably not harmful if you stick to it for a short time to lose some weight.“
Dr. Mikhail Varshavski, Board Certified Family Medicine Doctor
„If you restrict the consumption of carbohydrates with the ketogenic diet, the body can no longer supply itself with blood sugar because its production has been stopped. The body is then in the so-called „ketosis“, in which the energy is instead primarily supplied by fat. Studies show that ketosis helps most people lose weight.“
Dr. Fred Pescatore, Columbia University
So how is it that despite extensive scientific evidence, so many people have problems losing weight with the help of the keto diet?
The Three Main Reasons Why Most People Don’t Lose Weight T snot Keto
Although thousands of testimonials testify to how people were able to reach their target weight thanks to the ketogenic diet, there are also many men and women who could not succeed in this…
The worst part is that it’s not their fault. Despite all its benefits, it is known that the keto diet in practice is very difficult to adhere to in the long term without professional help.
It can quickly happen that the numerous recipes and buzzing tips at the beginning of the keto diet seem overwhelming. In addition, it can also be very exhausting to have to plan all dishes in advance and to have to count the calories for each one – especially if you start all by yourself.
Below, we reveal the three main reasons why people fail on the keto diet and how to avoid these challenges.
Reason #1: You lose track of the macros
Eine aktuelle Studie von mehr als 200 000 Teilnehmern zeigt, dass 67% aller Leute während der Keto Diät versagt haben, weil sie den Überblick über ihre Makros verloren haben (‚Markos‘ bezeichnet den prozentualen Anteil der Kalorien, die wir durch Fette, Proteine und Kohlenhydrate zu uns nehmen).1
Wenn man erfolgreich sein möchte, muss die Diät geplant und die Makros genauestens betrachtet werden. Wie Dr. Lisa Davis, eine führende amerikanische Ernährungsberaterin, es wortgewandt beschreibt:
„Wenn wir uns nicht vorbereiten, bereiten wir uns auf das Scheitern vor. Die Vorbereitung der Mahlzeiten ist ausschlaggebend, um die Ketose zu erreichen, da die Makros sehr spezifisch sind.“5
Um mit der Keto Diät die höchstmögliche Erfolgsrate zu erreichen, empfehlen viele Ernährungswissenschaftler eine Methode zu benutzen, die automatisch die Menge von Fetten, Proteinen und Kohlenhydraten, die wir täglich zu uns nehmen, berechnet. Auf diese Art und Weise können wir „rein rechnerisch sicher sein“, dass wir der Diät korrekt folgen und wir können uns mit gutem Gewissen aufs Essen konzentrieren.
Grund Nr.2: Sie sehnen sich nach einer abwechslungsreichen Ernährung
Ein weiterer Grund, weshalb so viele Menschen die Keto Diät abbrechen, ist, dass sie keine Lust haben, ständig die gleichen Gerichte zu essen. Sie sind von der fehlenden Abwechslung in der Auswahl ihrer Gerichte gelangweilt.
Obwohl man während der Diät viele leckere Sachen essen darf – wie Speck, Eier oder Käse – kann es passieren, dass ziemlich schnell die Ideen fürs Kochen ausgehen. Wenn man im Internet nach neuen Rezepten sucht, findet man ständig nur die gleichen – voll mit Avocado, Lachs, Speck, Hühnchen und Nüssen… Für Menschen, die jeden Tag gerne etwas Neues ausprobieren möchten, kann das schnell einschränkend sein.
For this reason, „low-carb“ nutritionists recommend a special keto nutrition plan that offers a wide range of recipes that can be found on the Internet. That might explain why this ‚improved‘ form of the keto diet is currently so popular. With over 10,000 different dishes on offer, it is currently gaining in popularity (we will report on this in more detail).
Reason #3: You get advice everywhere at the same time
Most people who enthusiastically jump on the keto diet often use Google and try to find as many keto recipes as possible. Then they eat the dishes with blind trust in indiscriminate order.
Although this sounds like a good approach, it is also one of the main reasons why people fail on the keto diet. Each keto dish in itself seems to make sense, but they are not very effective when combined with dishes from different websites.
As many doctors and nutritionists have mentioned, the ketogenic diet only works if the dishes are part of a cohesive, longer-term nutrition plan and have been put together by qualified experts. So forget about Pinterest’s „quick keto recipes“ and opt for a professionally curated nutrition plan so you can lose weight optimally.
Why the New Ketogenic Diet Plan Makes the Regular Keto Diet Look Old
To avoid the many obstacles, an innovative start-up called ‚KetoCycle‘ recently created a new „improved“ form of the keto diet that could make the original version look old. According to nutritionists, this ‚keto diet 2.0‘ could be twice as effective and five to seven times easier to sustain. 1 Our editors took a close look at the new form of the keto diet to understand how it works.
At first, we asked ourselves: What is KetoCycle? KetoCycle is an app that gives us a personalized keto plan based on our age, weight, health status and food preferences.
The difference to other keto diets is that the app uses its own algorithms and thus calculates the calories and macros of the user completely automatically and with medical precision. In other words, all KetoCycle users have to do is follow the recipes that are automatically generated every day and enjoy the dishes without thinking about what to eat…
Not constantly counting calories and taking notes is one of the ingredients for the keto diet’s recipe for success. In addition, studies confirm that the completely customized keto diet plan supported by artificial intelligence can be twice as successful as the conventional keto plan. 1
Second: According to our research, this new keto program offers a wide variety of dishes that far exceed the selection of other forms of the keto diet. With over 10,000 keto dishes available, you have a wide selection that makes it almost impossible to try them all. This means that people who follow a clinically proven keto diet can eat a new dish every day.
Third, the extensive list of personalized keto recipes has been compiled by professional nutritionist Christine Ellis in collaboration with top-notch chefs and personal trainers. Thanks to its scientific approach, ‚KetoCycle‘ can help to achieve „ketosis“ faster than conventional keto diets with the help of selected dishes. 1
According to our research, these are the reasons for the increasing popularity of the new, personalized keto form. A nutritionist in the US who specializes in „high fat“ and „low carb“ diets explains to us:
„This personalized and automated keto diet plan removes all the obstacles of the classic keto diet and is also more effective.“
Finally, it is important to mention that the app offers a nutrition support service around the clock, which has answers to all our questions that would otherwise cause us headaches.
KetoCycle has over 380,000 users and – based on thousands of reviews – has a rating of 4.5/5.
Our editorial team tested KetoCycle and the results exceeded our expectations
In order to test the KetoCycle app, we offered a few employees of our editorial team to test the app for a month. We then asked them for their opinion on the nutrition plan. So we got the following answers:
„To be honest, in the first few days I noticed my energy slowly diminishing and that made my heavy workout sessions even harder than usual. I believe this is due to the decreasing glucose content in the body, which is reduced by the diet.
But after four to five days, it became much easier. It felt like my body was getting used to bacon, eggs and butter in the morning, which I personally like since I really like such fatty and salty food. The good thing about the diet is that you can eat these delicious dishes every day without feeling guilty about it.
Ich war auch positiv über meinen Gewichtsverlust überrascht. Am Anfang habe ich ein paar Kilo verloren. Dann habe ich mein Gewicht für ein paar Tage gehalten, bevor ich dann in den darauffolgenden Wochen noch mehr abgenommen habe. Insgesamt habe ich knapp 3 Kilo abgenommen, was für so eine zierliche Person wie mich schon ziemlich viel ist!“
Leo, Associate Editor bei Health Insider
„Eine Diät ist nichts Neues für mich. Ich hab bereits Weight Watchers, Atkins, Whole30 and viele andere probiert, aber mit wenig Erfolg. Vor 2 Jahren habe ich mit einem Freund die Keto Diät probiert, aber die ganze Essensplanung und das viele Notizen machen war für mich viel zu kompliziert und ich habe ziemlich schnell aufgegeben. Zudem liebe ich Brot, also ist eine Low-Carb Diät für mich wirklich schwer einzuhalten.
Aber mit der KetoCycle App war das eine ganz andere Erfahrung. Am besten finde ich, dass die App die ganze schwere Arbeit für einen übernimmt: Sie zählt deine Makros, gibt dir detaillierte Keto Rezepte für jeden Tag und dazu auch eine Einkaufsliste, so dass man sich einfach nur aufs Essen anstatt auf die Planung konzentrieren kann. Für bequeme Menschen wie mich, die wirklich genaue Anweisungen statt vager Vorschriften bevorzugen, macht es wirklich einen großen Unterschied!
Mit meinem personalisierten Keto Plan habe ich in der ersten Woche ehrlich gesagt nichts abgenommen. Zuerst dachte ich, ich mache vielleicht etwas falsch… Aber in der zweiten Woche habe ich dann eine deutliche Veränderung gemerkt: Mein Körper hat sich einfach anders angefühlt und das Fett um meinen Bauch und um meine Hüften wurde weniger, was sich wirklich unglaublich gut anfühlte.
At the end of this 4-week plan, I lost a good 3 kilos, which was much more than I ever expected. The only thing I don’t like about it is that you can’t eat bread. But I believe that there is now something like „keto bread“, which tastes just as good.“
