The Ultra Lite ketogenic www.ultralite.com.au (keto) diet has been assisting people
to reclaim their health for the past 26 years. This Keto Program has been delivered
to over 550,000 clients during this time have shown amazing health benefits,
including weight loss, improved metabolic health, and appetite control.
Here are six things that happen when you adopt the moderate fat complex
carbohydrate Ultra Lite lifestyle.
1. Your Body Starts Burning Fat Instead of Carbs
On a traditional diet, your body relies on carbohydrates as its primary source of
energy, breaking them down into glucose. However, when you significantly reduce
carb intake—typically to less than 50 grams per day—your body enters a metabolic
state called ketosis. In this state, your liver converts fat into ketones, which become
the main energy source. This process mimics what happens when you’re fasting and
can result in fat loss over time. Ketones are brain food and are and support the heart
muscle. As well as these ketones, they assist with gut-brain support, which assists in
metabolic health and reduces bloating and cuts.
2. You Might Experience the "Keto Flu"
With most other ketogenic foods, when your body transitions into ketosis, you may
experience flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, nausea, irritability, and muscle
cramps, and digestive issues.
This is not the experience with the Ultra has Lite ketogenic diet because the diet
supplies small 10 g protein sachets that customers have between meals which
prevent this from occurring. They are not meal replacements but serve to moderate
the highs and lows during the transition into ketosis.
Following the ketogenic diet prescribed by Ultra Lite, your body adapts to using fat for
fuel instead of carbohydrates. Staying hydrated, increasing electrolyte intake, and
ensuring adequate sleep can help alleviate symptoms.
3. You Lose Water Weight Quickly
One of the first noticeable effects of the keto diet is rapid weight loss due to the
depletion of glycogen stores. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles and for
For every gram of glycogen, your body holds onto about four grams of water. As you
burn through these stores on keto, excess water is released, leading to an initial drop
in weight. However, this water weight can be regained if you reintroduce
carbohydrates into your diet.
4. Your Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels Drop
Since carbohydrate intake is minimized, blood sugar levels tend to stabilize.
Insulin levels decrease. This can be beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance
or type 2 diabetes, as it helps improve glucose control. Some studies suggest that
the keto diet may reduce HbA1c levels, a key marker of long-term blood sugar
control. This has proven a great support to those who suffer from both Diabetes 1 and
2.
5. You May Feel Fuller for Longer
Fat and protein are more satiating than carbohydrates, meaning you may feel full
longer and experience fewer cravings. Research suggests that the keto diet can
suppress appetite-regulating hormones, leading to reduced calorie intake without
feelings of hunger. This effect can make it easier to maintain a calorie deficit and
promote weight loss in the short term.
6. Improved Ment Health
Over the 26 years, the Ultra Lite ketogenic diet has had a positive impact on mental
health and well-being by potentially reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety,
improving mood stability, increasing energy levels, and enhancing cognitive function,
with many individuals reporting feelings of calmness, alertness, and improved
