Maybe you’ve found a friend or family member who swears by keto, or if you haven’t, then you’ve almost certainly heard of a myriad of celebrities who follow the diet religiously.
Keto has become more than a diet nowadays, it is a way of life. Many rest restaurant rentals offer extensive cato options on their menus, the Skinny Bar and Grill Australia in Bondi is Australia’s first key cafe! Everything on their menu is low-carb, gluten-free and sugar-free. Sounds good doesn’t it?
Well before you hop in your car and make a crazy dash towards Bondi to grab a ‘carb-free’ cheeseburger, let’s see if Cato Hype is heading towards science.
So, what is a worm? Cato means ketogenic. The ketogenic diet involves eating as few carbs as possible, forcing the body to enter a state called ‘ketosis’. Essentially, this means it burns the body Fat stores Than Carbohydrates Humans consume on a daily basis.
Marcelo Campos, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, explains: “Most cells prefer to use blood sugar, which comes from carbohydrates, as the body’s main energy source. In the absence of circulating blood sugar from the diet, we store the stored fat in ketone bodies (T.This process is called ketosis).
“Once you reach ketosis, most of the cells will use the ketone body to produce energy until we start eating carbohydrates again. The shift from breaking down stored fats using mutated glucose to a source of fat usually takes less than two to four days. 20 to 50 grams of carbohydrates per day.
“Keep in mind that this is a very personal process, and some people need a more restricted diet to start making enough ketones.
“Because it lacks carbohydrates, ketogenic diets contain protein and fat. These usually include plenty of meat, eggs, processed meats, sausages, cheese, fish, nuts, butter, oil, seeds and fibrous vegetables.
Because it is so restrictive, it is really difficult to follow in the long run. Carbohydrates typically make up at least 50% of the typical American diet.
“One of the main criticisms of this diet is that many people eat too much protein and poor-quality fats from processed foods, with very few fruits and vegetables. Patients with kidney disease need to be careful as this diet can make their condition worse.
“In addition, some patients may experience slight fatigue initially, while some may experience shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, constipation and sleep deprivation.”
Despite recent hype, the ketogenic diet is nothing new. In medicine, it has been used for treatment for almost 100 years Drug resistant epilepsyEspecially in children.
In the 1970s, Dr. Atkins popularized his very low-carbohydrate diet for weight loss, beginning with Too much Strictly Two-week ketogenic faceE. This is where the craze for keto began, and over the years, other smokers incorporated a similar approach to weight loss.
Now that we know what is included in the ketogenic diet, let’s see how safe it is for humans to follow.
According to Dr. Campos, “We have solid evidence that ketogenic diets reduce seizures in children, sometimes as effective as medications. Questions have been raised about the potential benefits for other brain disorders.
However, there are no human studies to support the recommendation of ketosis for the treatment of these conditions. “
According to the world’s leading low-carb diet blogger and podcaster Jimmy Moore, Author of ‘Cato Clarity’, Catogenic diet seems to be very beneficial for the effective treatment of other health conditions including metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn (GERD) non-alcoholic fatty. Liver disease (NAFLD), type 2 diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.
On the topic of type 2 diabetes, Halle Berry began speaking out in support of the Keto diet in 2017. Live with Kelly and Ryan That it is a good candidate for diabetes because it is diabetes.
Also spoke with Haley People About KETO. “I eat healthy fats all day, avocado, oil, coconut oil and I use butter, but no sugar. So when your body is trained to burn fat, it is in a constant fat burning mode – that’s the secret, “he noted.
A ketogenic diet has also been shown to improve blood sugar control, at least in the short term, for patients with type 2 diabetes. However, there are many controversies when doctors consider the effects of keto on cholesterol levels.
Few studies show that cholesterol levels rise in some patients, initially, only to see a decrease in cholesterol A few months later. However, there are Long-term research Analysis of its effects over time on diabetes and high cholesterol, at least so far.
Return to Mrs. Bond for a minute. Berry is one of the many celebs who swear by the Cato Diet to help fight health conditions naturally, others who swear mostly by diet to stay slim and streamlined.
It seems that weight loss is the main reason why so many people use ketogenic diets. Previous research shows good evidence Rapid weight loss While patients go on a more traditional low-fat diet or a ketogenic or very low-carbohydrate diet compared to participants in the Mediterranean diet.
However, that difference in weight loss seems to have disappeared over time, as it is difficult for Cato to stay in shape for long periods of time. And this is where we hit a crossroads.
If you want to lose weight, the fastest way to lose weight is often to take it without thinking about the long-term effects or the advice of a doctor or dietitian about the ‘proper diet’.
Keto has often been promised ‘you will lose weight fast’, as low-carb diets are famous for losing fat fast. The person will often lose a significant amount of weight on the cato, after all, go back to their ‘normal’ eating habits. The weight slowly returns and, then we re-eat; Usually even more restricted than the first time. Losing a second time on a diet is often difficult, and every time we limit our body heavily, our metabolism becomes very stressed. This process is called ‘yo-yo’ dieting and can be harmful long term.
Studies have shown that most people who participate in the Keto diet gain weight faster than those who follow other restricted diets. How are you? First, metabolic needs are largely based on body composition. Muscle uses more energy than fat, thus higher muscle mass means higher calorie requirements.
Leading dietitian and nutritionist Emily Balm Kito explains dieting to yo-yo as follows:
‘Rapid weight loss means not only fat loss, but also muscle mass loss. For the most part, if all Fed diets are generally inadvisable so that when the “diet ends”, your body composition is now completely different than before. You now have less muscle, which means you now have to consume fewer calories than you do to maintain your new weight. Then people resume their “normal” eating habits and gain weight very quickly. This eliminates “carbs” or whatever the food group. When in reality, you change your body composition, thus your caloric needs have changed ‘. This is where Cato can become potentially dangerous.
So, does it remove the key to carbohydrates?
It seems that the Cato Diet is inadvisable long-term; Therefore, no long-term study confirms that the Cato Diet is “healthy”, especially to lose weight or reduce disability rates.
So what can we take away from all this?
If you do not have a pre-existing health condition (mentioned above), or are not advised to eat keto by a doctor, specialist or dietitian, perhaps following a traditional Mediterranean diet is the best health, longevity and weight loss that stays off.
This way of eating combines a good combination of healthy fats and healthy, complex carbs. By including a large food group, make sure cravings are kept at bay, while getting all the nutrients you need to feel healthy and happy.
So, what are you waiting for! Let’s get to cooking it Gems (Stuffed capsicums) and grilled lamb with Greek salad. Happy healthy carb intake!
