Alicia Vikander’s Diet for Her Lara Croft Body

(Newswire.net — April 12, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Even those who don’t care too much for action films or Nintendo games are familiar with Tomb Raider and it’s lead Lara Croft, so when it hit the silver screens the leading lady had to be on point, not just in terms of acting skills alone but physique and athletism so a ketogenic diet was undertaken.  

“To play the character in the latest Tomb Raider reboot, Alicia Vikander, 29, was on a strict high protein, no carb Keto diet, which consists of mainly meat/fish proteins, vegetables and pretty much nothing else,” reports HollywoodLife.com. “The Oscar winning actress started on it two months before filming began.” 

The ketogenic diet is certainly the choice of celebs when it comes to fitness, weight loss and health. One can safely assume that they only commit themselves to the healthiest and most rewarding diet methods since their careers depend heavily on their image. Before their talent is even uncovered, image is what attracts the initial interest and it plays a role in keeping an audience’s attention for the long haul. The keto diet is roughly based on the Paleolithic diet of early man that relied on hunting and foraging hence the body was constantly in a state called ketosis.

“The “keto” in the word ketosis comes from the fact that it makes the body produce small fuel molecules called “ketones”,” explains DietDoctor.com. “This is an alternative fuel for the body, used when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply. On a ketogenic diet your entire body switches its fuel supply to run almost entirely on fat. Insulin levels become very low and fat burning increases dramatically. It becomes easy to access your fat stores to burn them off. This is obviously great if you’re trying to lose weight, and studies show that ketogenic diets lead to more weight loss.” 

For those seeking to get lean and stay healthy, this is the ideal low carb/high protein diet for the job. Naturally encouraging the body to function using its secondary fuel source is a smart and effective way to sustain weight loss without living in a gym. Moderate exercise is a sufficient adjunct to the keto diet for best results because too much exercise can actually hinder weight loss goals. 

“There are multiple ketogenic diet studies that allow subjects to eat as much ketogenic food as they want as long as carbohydrates are restricted,” informs Ketogenic.com. “Many of these studies have found that the subjects voluntarily consume less food. These studies display that the ketogenic diet is not only causing greater weight loss but also a greater perceived rate of fullness. The simple fact that fat is more nutrient dense than the other macronutrients (9 calories per gram compared to 4 calories per gram for carbs and protein) is one proposed reason for improvements with appetite.” 

Eating for better health is a big part of losing weight and keeping it off, there are also exogenous ketones available to help maintain this healthy state of ketosis. The HealthyWiser™ KetoFast™ Supplement Powder is ideal for stimulating ketosis whether or not a keto diet is followed, moreover it also enhances the body by absorbing nutrient and supports brain health in the process.
