What is a keto diet?

The stand-up comedian swore by the Keto Diet for achieving his desired goal. It is a low carb diet that forces your body to use fats to gain energy. When your body does not get enough carbs, it starts producing small fuel molecules known as 'ketones' using the fat. They burn all the extra fat in the body making you lose weight. Tanmay's trainer Ranveer himself tried the diet first and then suggested the same to his client.

On Tanmay's diet, Ranveer said, 

"Tanmay made a few tweaks to his diet, substituting the bad carbs from sugar-rich foods like pastries and ice-creams, with good carbs from foods like whole grains, veggies and nuts, along with plenty of protein-dense food like chicken and seafood."

The idea of limiting carbs and increasing the fat intake may sound bizarre, but it actually works if you make sure that the fats that you are consuming are the good ones. You also need to remember that the carbs and the fats that you are acquiring are from healthy sources like nuts, whole grains and vegetables. Eating fat doesn't mean that you can gorge on as many cakes and pizzas as you want. It means eating right! 

Along with few carbs and good fats, you also need to make sure that you consume the adequate amount of proteins or else, you will lose muscle weight instead of fat. Being on a strict diet doesn't mean that you cannot enjoy yourself once in a while. Tanmay and Ranveer had their cheat days as well.

Explaining what dieting actually means, Ranveer said, 

"Tanmay swapped desserts, ice cream and Bingo Mad Angles for chicken breasts, lots of veggies and medium sized portions of complex carbs. He’s been following a detailed diet plan that I gave him. BUT twice a week, both of us make it a point to gorge on Joey’s Pizza and/or Frisbees burgers. THAT is correct dieting. You can’t maintain a long-term diet plan unless you ENJOY yourself once in a while."

The workout

The Keto diet is very effective for those who want to lose weight without spending their entire lifetime in the gym! Tanmay followed this diet religiously and combined it with a simple workout.
