Targeted Keto – How to Cut Stomach Fat with this Diet

The Targeted Keto Diet (TKD) uses a specialized approach to the Keto Diet. It can cut stomach fat faster. Unfortunately, Keto is like a marriage; it doesn’t work if you cheat! “Don’t blame the butter for what the bread did” Too many of the wrong calories will make you fat.

The processed foods we eat create the world’s obesity epidemic. Many experts call obesity the silent killer. The Keto Diet uses an intelligent approach to end and prevents obesity. It has many exciting benefits for the human body. The Keto Diet improves your health, life expectancy, and fitness.

Use the Targeted Keto Diet to stay in ketosis and improve your energy levels during workouts.

The Targeted Keto Diet calls for more carbs before a workout. It uses the macronutrient ratio of 65-70% fat, 20% protein, and 5-10% carbohydrates. The body uses more carbs during a workout to maintain muscle. You deplete glycogen stores during exercise. When the body cannot find glycogen, it burns fat and muscle for energy. Also, the muscles become weaker because of the lack of energy.

Targeted Keto Diet allows you to work out hard while staying on the Keto Diet. As long as the carbs get burned during the workout, you will remain on Keto. Targeted Keto is like Cyclical Keto in the way it provides more carbs but differs in why it offers more carbs. Targeted Keto provides more carbs around an event (workout). Cyclical Keto provides more carbs around a specific time. 

What are the pros and cons of the Targeted Keto Diet?

When you eat carbs, your blood glucose levels elevate, and your body’s ketone production drops. Consuming over 12.5 grams of carbohydrates at once is enough to kick you out of ketosis. But the Targeted Keto Diet says you can eat double this amount before your workout.

Imagine that you eat 30 grams of carbs before your workout. As soon as you burn 120 calories, you have burned off the carbs and stay in ketosis. You can do this in under 30 minutes when you exercise hard. So, it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme.

How does food affect your body’s energy needs and fitness goals?

Food provides different functions in the body. While calories determine how fast you gain and lose weight, food determines how you feel. The three macronutrients play different roles in the body.

Protein builds muscle and other cells. Fat provides energy at a slow and balanced rate. Also, your body stores it around the stomach, and other muscles for later use. Carbohydrates supply power to the body faster than others. Your body stores it in muscles, turn it into fat, and uses it later.

The body needs all three at different times to meet its needs. When your needs change, so should your food. It would help if you had protein to build muscle and carbs for fast energy as you work out. Fat cannot meet energy needs during training.

A slow source of food energy cannot keep up with quick exercise energy consumption. Therefore, it would be best to match fast (carbs) with fast (exercise) during exercise. The Targeted Keto Diet allows you to meet your energy needs with your diet.

Why do you need to work out the Targeted Keto Diet?

Fitness experts identified the Keto Diet as a unique solution to burning stomach fat. Eating a few carbs creates the process known as ketosis. In ketosis, the body uses fat for energy instead of sugar.

The build-up of fats in the body makes cholesterol and causes cardiovascular disease. With the Keto Diet, you can eat even more by exercising. The Keto Diet works better when you perform low-intensity workouts.

Exercising is the most effective way to maintain a healthy lifestyle on the Keto Diet. Exercise creates a healthy lifestyle by balancing the body’s energy levels. When there is too much energy in your body at one time, it causes health problems.

The best diets help you lose weight and improve your fitness through exercise.

The Keto Diet enables you to eat and exercise at a moderate level. With your fitness, give your food priority because it controls the process of ketosis. However, exercise plays a vital role even though your diet comes first. Exercising helps you to build lean body mass and improve cardio. Also, it enhances emotional and mental health.

How does exercise affect weight loss, energy levels, and fitness?

  1. Aerobic Exercises: cardio, long duration- low intensity, fat burning
  2. Anaerobic Exercises: weightlifting, short term- high intensity, carb-burning
  3. Flexibility Exercises: yoga, stretching, support soft tissue, increased range of motion
  4. Stability Exercises: balance and core training supports alignment and improves balance and body control

Aerobic (cardio) exercises: require you to exercise for at least 30 minutes. Also, it is a low-intensity workout that increases fat burning. Aerobic exercise uses oxygen to burn stomach fat, causing you to breathe more. A brief burst of energy is required with anaerobic (weightlifting) exercises. It uses a lot of power in a short amount of time.

The body keeps the energy in the muscle to perform anaerobic exercises. This type of energy comes from carbohydrates. Flexibility exercises: increase the range of muscles, support joints, and do other activities. Stability exercises: like core training and balance exercise, can achieve body alignment. Also, they can strengthen muscles and provide better control of movement.

Why do you need the Targeted Keto Diet to perform intensive exercises?

  1. The body burns fat when performing an exercise at low intensity and moderate levels.
  2. The body needs more carbs when you perform high-intensity and anaerobic workouts.
  3. Intensive exercise makes it difficult to stay on Keto. High-intensity training requires a high amount of carbohydrates during and after a workout.

The body needs more carbohydrates during a workout to meet its energy needs.

When in ketosis and performing high-intensity exercise, you struggle to focus. The body needs carbs to focus during high-intensity activities. People who love to work out and follow the Keto Diet turn to the Targeted Keto Diet. It allows you to eat 15-30 grams of fast-acting carbs – 30 minutes before training.

Get the optimal health benefit of a workout combined with the Targeted Keto Diet.

The primary cause of anxiety today is bad carbohydrates and poor nutrition. Most people wouldn’t need medication if they ate the proper diet. The Keto Diet can regulate your insulin levels and maintain your hormones.

Keto limits the number of carbs you eat. As a result, it keeps your insulin levels down and steady. Also, it provides your body with the fat it needs to make more hormones. Fat gives you a slow and balanced source of energy. How you manage your body’s energy determines your health and fitness. Watch the 11 tips you need to know before starting your bodybuilder journey.
