The Keto Diet
Brandon Schwartz • Aug 13, 2019
FAD DIET OR NAH?
The Keto diet was discovered in 1920 when doctors put patients on low carb diets and found it helped with epileptic seizures!
HOW IT WORKS:
- lowers insulin levels
- shifts primary fuel source from glucose to ketones
- Calorie breakdown: 75% fat, 25% protein, < 5% carbs
WHO DOES IT HELP THE MOST?
- people who are obese
- people who have epilepsy
- some cancer patients
- with chemo, the Keto diet has been shown to help reduce tumor size
- Type 2 diabetics – can potentially help improve insulin sensitivity
PROS:
- rapid weight loss (short term goals)
- increased energy levels
- specific contraindications
CONS:
- it’s strict – if you eat > 5% carbs, it can throw you out of ketosis, which can take up tp 72 hours to get back into
- potentially unsustainable long term – your body adapts and might plateau
- a lot of the weight lost is water weight
- lack in fiber (you’re limiting your fruits and some veggies)
TIP:
- If you can do it right and it’s a sustainable way of living for you, go for it! But don’t hop on it just because your friend told you they lost 50 lbs.
