There are a plethora of options if you want to exercise and lose weight. From traditional forms like hitting the treadmill in the gym or yoga to new-age ways like parkour or aerial training, you will find many ways to exercise and remain fit. 
 
But, one of the most chosen forms of exercise, which is the best during scorching heat also, is swimming. 
 
Many experts point out that swimming is one of the effective ways to lose weight, stay healthy and maintain overall wellness. 
 
Apart from maintaining weight, swimming also helps in keeping up the heart rate, building endurance, toning muscles, and also helps to de-stress. 
For those of you who want to lose weight, a dip in the pool will help you lose fat faster than any other exercise. 
 But you should also know that losing weight also involves keeping your <keyword id="6358230" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="diet">diet</keyword> in check. 
 
A good swimming session will go waste if you binge on high-calorie food, as one tends to get really hungry after it. 
 
Even before starting your swim, you should eat foods that maintain your stamina and aid weight loss. 
 Ashishh Gupta, Director and <keyword id="18974" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="fitness">Fitness</keyword> Expert, Gold's Gym, said, “Foods that are rich in complex carbohydrates are a great source of energy. By eating a small amount of carbs before you hit the pool, you’ll benefit from a slow release of energy while you swim, helping you to keep going for longer.” 
 
So, here’s what you should and should not eat before and after swimming to lose weight

Fitness experts tell you what to eat right after a swim

Are you aware of <keyword id="2947718" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="keto-diet">Keto Diet</keyword>? Well, here’s a diet, which lets you eat anything at your wish yet lose weight with zero workout. Yes, no workout is the catch and that too without discriminating between foods. 
 
Your question will be , why bother when we are<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/McDonalds-says-no-to-tomatoes/articleshow/53226524.cms"> losing weight</a> by having pasta, Maggi or <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/McDonalds-says-no-to-tomatoes/articleshow/53226524.cms">McDonald'</a>s or double cheese burger! 
The problem is not with the diet; problem is with the side effects which this diet brings. 
 
In a chat with Business Insider, Ashishh Gupta, Director, Gold’s Gym, Gurgaon we deconstruct the growing fad, Keto Diet. 
This process of dilution of fat is called ketosis, popularly known as keto diet or low carb high fat diet. 
 
Keto diet was basically invented for athletes and bodybuilders to help loose fat, during vacation, by eating less carb and more of fat, when they are not working out at all. This was also meant for the patients with diabetes to stabilize their sugar levels. So it acts like a factory reset system for body. 
 
However, lately keto diet is now being used by many nutritionists. When your glycogen stores are low, fat goes through a process to produce fatty acids, some of which get further changed into ketone bodies. When your body needs energy, for example, for your daily routine work, your body uses those fatty acids instead of glucose as a source of energy. 
 
So it looks quite good, so why the fuss? 
 
Well, the diet is good, if done in moderation, maybe a week tops or a fortnight. But in this scenario it is not. 
 
Burn Fats 
If you consume ketogenic diet, it improves your body’s ability to exploit stored fat for energy production. You body’s ability to convert fat into fuel decreases if you consume a meal that is rich in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/McDonalds-says-no-to-tomatoes/articleshow/53226524.cms">carbohydrates</a>. However, in the state of ketosis, your body has no option other than turning to fats for fuel. 
 
Aids Excretion of Ketones 
When in a state of ketosis, your body is no longer in need of ketones and, therefore, has to be excreted via urine as a waste product. This implies that your urine will constitute body fat. The best thing about this is that your body no longer requires storing energy substrates for future use. 
 
Protein Sparing Effect 
Let’s assume that you consume an adequate amount of protein and calories in your diet. When your body is in the ketosis state, it would go for ketones rather than glucose. Because your body contain high amount of fat, there won’t be any need for protein oxidation to produce glucose through a process known as gluconeogenesis. This means protein will be used in other functions in your body. 
 
Lowers Insulin Levels 
A decrease in insulin levels in your system promotes lipolysis and release of free glycerol. This is in contrast to when you eat a normal diet when the insulin levels rise to the peak. Additionally, low insulin levels favour the release of hormones such as the growth hormone. 
While you were by now convinced of the good effects, the side effects would scare you to hell. 
 
Triggers Fatigue And Brain Fog 
Once you resort to a ketogenic diet, there is a likely that you will experience fatigue and brain fog for the first few weeks during the metabolic shift. 
 
Altered Blood Lipid Profile 
This is a major concern in people in ketogenic diet because of the fluctuations in the amounts of fat in the diet. Statistics indicate that alteration in blood lipid profile increases cholesterol levels. 
 
Triggers Micronutrient Deficiencies 
Due to restriction of carbohydrates in ketogenic diet, micronutrient deficiencies can result. 
 
Triggers Ketoacidosis 
If the level of ketones in your blood skyrockets, ketoacidosis may occur because <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/McDonalds-says-no-to-tomatoes/articleshow/53226524.cms">ketones</a> are acidic in nature. This means your blood pH could become lower which can spell death. However, this should not be a major concern if you are not diabetic. 
 
Sagging of skin 
It is a well-known fact that working out tightens one's <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/McDonalds-says-no-to-tomatoes/articleshow/53226524.cms">skin</a>. In absence of that, any drastic weight loss will lead to sagging of skin on face, abdomen, thighs. 
 
In a nutshell, this is great diet if done just to reset your system and help you lose those last 2-3 kilos of fat. But if this diet is relied upon to lose a lot of weight, then be careful about the side-effects.
