Are you in confusion to adopt a routine with a diet plan or not? If yes! Then go ahead.

Health is wealth is a famous proverb set out by the west and that is very true. A person with a healthy body and healthy mind stays relaxed and also remain thankful till his last breath. Health is actually a blessing and a person who maintains it in a real sense a great being to be called. In this age of perplexity, machines have replaced the work that humans used to be done by their own hands. In this way, when humans rely on the machines, they obviously become slacker ad careless and also entirely depends on the machines eventually. There are a number of diet plans and among them a paleo diet, a vegan diet, and a ketogenic diet. Let’s study out the difference between the Paleo Diet, Vegan, and Ketogenic Diet.

What is Paleolithic Diet?

It is considered that there was a Palaeolithic era which is the second part of the Stone Age beginning about 750, 00 to 500,000 years BC and lasting until the end of the last ice age about 8,500 years BC. There is a philosophy that they eat the foods that are available during the Palaeolithic era of 15,000 years. It is a diet associated with those who are Paleolithic and this diet is a nutritional plan more designed for them. They mainly follow Megan Fox, Miley Cyrus, and Mathew McConaughey.

What is Vegan?

On the other hand, veganism is a philosophy and we can say a lifestyle and those adopt it they follow or include vegetables in their diet. They are supposed to exclude the usage of animals for any kind of usage. For them, it’s completely prohibited not to consume any animal food for clothing or any purpose. The followers of veganism consume only plant-based products. For, Bill Clinton, Ellen De Genres, and Mike Tyson are the best people to be followed.

What is the Ketogenic diet?

The ketogenic diet is a diet that is low in carbohydrates, high in fats, and adequate in protein. It is also a gluten-free diet. Principally our body runs on two different fuels one is sugar from carbohydrates in the food we eat. The other fuel is fat. The keto diet is a very low carb diet. Due to that body has to use fat for energy. Even the brain gets energy from fat. When the body is out of carbohydrates (sugar) fat is converted in the liver into energy molecules called ketones that gives energy to the brain. And the diet that results in this is called ketogenic meaning it produces ketones. Being fuelled mostly by fat, a state called ketosis, has many benefits including that you become a fat-burning machine and it has numerous health benefits.

Paleo Diet vs Vegan vs Ketogenic diet:

What is the basic diet/ nutrition plan associated with these three?

The basic difference of meat consumption: For Palaeolithic people, they usually consume the food that is based on hunting, which means the food or any animal they get after hunting i.e. meat, plants, fruits but no notion of dairy or any processed kind of food. For them, eating meat is good for nutritional purposes. In their meat consumption, there is a notion of the following:

Deer

Fish

Wild ungulates like deer

Free-range cattle

On the other hand, vegan-ism is not associated with the consumption of meat. Because for them, morally it’s not good to eat as their religion doesn’t allow eating meat.

Whereas in the ketogenic diet you have to eat the same food which you used to eat before your diet but slightly in a different manner:

Eggs – They are high in protein and low in carbs. Eating eggs help promote a feeling of fullness, and egg yolks contain essential vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants.

Olives and olive oil – They contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. One ounce contains two grams of total carbs. Olive oil is the healthiest oil for baking, cooking, and deep-frying.

Meat and poultry – They are low in carbs and high in fat and protein. Meat contains nutrients like vitamin B12, creatine, and taurine that aren’t found in plants.

Seafood – Fish contains omega 3s which are good for mental health. It is low in carbs and high in fat and protein

High-fat dairy – It contains quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. It also contains conjugated linoleic acid (fatty acids) that promotes fat loss.

Alliums – Garlic, onions, and other alliums contain allicin, a potent plant compound that protects the body from brain damage and disease. They are high in net carbs but used in small quantities.

Other foods – Avocados, nuts and seeds, berries, and unsweetened coffee and tea.

Are they using dairy products?

When it comes to veganism, they don’t use animal products because for them, animals are forbidden to eat. They are strictly prohibited the usage of the following as they don’t believe anything to eat that is originated from animals:

Milk

Honey

Cheese

Yogurt

On the other hand, the paleo diet does not have the notion of consumption of dairy products. Because it is heard that they were not here before the development of agriculture; they used to be the hunter-gatherer. But they allow eating eggs which veganism is lacking.

Whereas in ketogenic diet there are some dairy products you can eat and some are not. Following dairy products are restricted in the ketogenic diet:

Milk

Yogurt

Kefir

Following are dairy products which you can have on your ketogenic diet:

Cheese

Butter

Sour cream

Whole cream

Are there any nutritional benefits for them?

For vegans, there is only a need to have a well-balanced diet including nuts, vegetables, and fruits to achieve a balanced diet and nutrition. They often adopt soy protein because it is containing whole proteins.

On the other hand, the paleo diet is high in protein and fiber. It is often criticized by the experts because they don’t use the processed food items as it is forbidden in their culture.

Whereas following are the benefits of the ketogenic diet:

Weight loss

Reduce appetite

Improved blood glucose control

Increased the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) which is good cholesterol

Improves cardiovascular risk markers

Lowers blood pressure

Improves brain function

Conclusion:

Concluding the whole discussion, we can say that they are not bound to eat a specific thing rather they don’t rely on specific timelines. Those who follow these diet plans apart from the religious or moral scenario they do find the nutritional benefits. And those who use it for their faith purpose, they are more associated to eat the diet offered by ancestors in order to live a healthy life in the light of their religion.Are you following any  type of diet plan?
