Ketogenic Diet
The nutritional ketogenic diet, often simply referred to as “keto,” is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat eating plan designed to shift your body’s primary fuel source from carbohydrates to fats. This metabolic state, known as ketosis, occurs when your body begins to break down stored fat into molecules called ketones, which then serve as the main energy source for your brain and body.
By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with healthy fats, the keto diet encourages the body to burn fat more efficiently. This can lead to significant weight loss, increased energy levels, and improved mental clarity.
At Yang Institute, we understand the importance of a diet that is both effective and sustainable. Our ketogenic diet is more than just a trend; it’s a scientifically-backed approach to nutrition that promotes healthier, whole food choices while minimizing processed and sugar-laden options. By embracing this dietary pattern, you can achieve lasting changes in your health, fitness, and overall well-being.
The New HCG diet
Yang Institute now offers patients a new effective weight loss treatment which combines small regular doses of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and a specific clinical and dietitian supervised restricted-calorie diet.
The HCG Diet is an incredible and highly-effective approach to healthy eating that primarily focuses on consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods. The beauty of this diet is that it emphasizes the importance of consuming an extensive variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. This balanced and sustainable diet does not deprive you of any essential nutrients, making it an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
Besides offering a wholesome variety of foods, this diet also encourages portion control, mindful eating, and regular physical activity. This combination of balanced and healthy food, sound portion control, mindfulness, and regular exercise is known to promote long-term weight management, essential health, and prevent chronic diseases in the long run.
Anti-Inflammatory diet
The Anti-Inflammatory Diet, developed by Dr. Steven Gundry, is a dietary approach that focuses on reducing inflammation in the body through the consumption of whole, nutrient-dense foods. This diet emphasizes the necessity of avoiding processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, and certain oils. Instead, it encourages you to prioritize the intake of a wider range of vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and lean proteins to promote overall health and well-being.
By incorporating these whole, nutrient-dense foods into your diet, you are providing your body with essential nutrients that support many bodily functions. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables ensures that you are getting enough vitamins and minerals to support your immune system and fight off inflammation. Healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, and nuts also have anti-inflammatory properties and help keep your heart healthy. And by focusing on lean proteins such as chicken, fish, and tofu, you get the necessary protein to build and repair tissues in your body.
Intermittent Fasting Diet
Intermittent Fasting (IF) is an excellent eating pattern that has gained widespread popularity and recognition in recent years. It involves a structured approach to eating that cycles between periods of fasting and eating, oftentimes leading to several health benefits. This eating pattern doesn’t specify any dietary restrictions or limitations as to which foods to eat, but rather when you should eat them.
Common IF methods are the 16/8 method and the 5:2 diet, which are both tried and tested. The 16/8 method involves fasting for 16 hours and then consuming food within an 8-hour window. On the other hand, the 5:2 diet involves eating normally for 5 days and restricting calorie intake for 2 days. With consistency and regularity, IF can help individuals achieve sustainable and consistent weight loss, improved metabolic health, and reduced inflammation.
