Introduction

Keto refers to ketogenesis , a physiological process that happens when you significantly reduce your carbohydrate intake while increasing your fat intake. Even though the keto diet has been around for a while and has even been used medically, it is now becoming popular among athletes, celebrities, and others as a successful weight loss plan.

One of the most common diets today, the ketogenic/keto diet is well-known for its low-carb approach. However, is it your best option? The keto diet can have unexpected advantages for the right person who is prepared to commit to a healthy lifestyle.

The reason the keto diet is effective is that it forces your body to burn stored fat for energy rather than its primary fuel source, dietary carbohydrates. This process is known as ketosis. Calories do matter, though. You won't lose weight even if you overdo protein and fat and consume more calories overall than your body can burn. Foods high in fat and protein (the basis of this diet) make you feel fuller for longer, so your total calorie intake usually falls below what your body burns, resulting in weight reduction.

Because your body stores carbohydrates with water, you begin to lose water weight as you use up your carb storage. This contributes to the initial quick weight loss people experience with their keto diet results. Results from the keto diet that total more than two pounds of fat each week are likely related to decreases in water weight.

Since most people can't stick to the keto diet for an extended period, weight gain and impaired keto diet results are very typical once carbs are reintroduced.

The Keto Diet: Is It Safe?

Although eating a diet high in protein, healthy fats, and low in carbohydrates are typically safe, you should be aware of health risks associated with the keto diet, such as:

● Low blood sugar levels, particularly in those taking diabetes treatment

● Increased risk of heart disease due to elevated cholesterol levels

● Increased cholesterol levels can raise the risk of heart disease

● High consumption of saturated fats and meats high in fat

● Risk of nutrient insufficiency

● Risks for people who have kidney disease

This diet should be avoided by those who have kidney disease since the excessive protein it frequently contains may hasten the progression of kidney disease. Since low blood sugar levels can be fatal, if you have diabetes and are determined to stick to this diet, I will strongly advise contacting your doctor to discuss how or if to adjust medications during the diet.
