KETO diet methods are becoming increasingly more popular among those looking to lose weight. However, a nutritionist has warned that dieters should avoid the plan long term.
Low carb diets have been popular for some time among those who want to lose weight fast.
The keto diet is a particularly high fat version.
However, an expert has warned that the diet may not be safe longterm.
Although, many swear by this method to help them drop the pounds. The keto diet, or ketogenic diet, is a low-carb diet plan.
Dieters may only eat low carb foods, such as lean meat and dairy. The idea of the diet is to put the body into a state of ketosis.
This is an alternative metabolic rate in which the body burns fat instead of carbohydrates to survive.
However, the diet was not originally used for weight loss. In fact, it was used as a cure for epilepsy.
Hebe Mills, who is an Associate Nutritionist, told Express.co.uk: "The Ketogenic diet has been used since the 1920s as a medical therapy diet for epilepsy patients that do not respond to anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs) to aid seizure control."

No, you just increase the calories to remove the calorie deficit but you keep the same macros.
It’s about keeping down the production of insulin and guarding against Insulin Resistance. Skinny people get diabetes, too.
Also combined with Intermittent Fasting, it can trigger Autophagy, which slows down aging. And our brains run better on Ketones than on Glycogen.
Then what? You go back to eating what made you fat in the first place? How does that make any sense?

Also on Netflix. OUTSTANDING show, with all the right people on it. Everyone should watch it when they have time.
Exactly. Humans can manufacture carbs from protein. The nutrient part is tricky for the Eskimos. Some of their diet is raw which is why they don’t get into trouble with certain essential vitamins.
Caveat - eating raw (or undercooked) wild meat can be deadly if you don’t know what you’re doing
The couple with the little girl, the transformation was incredible once they switched her diet.
“The couple with the little girl, the transformation was incredible once they switched her diet.”
Sweet little girl, now. But a hopeless person prior. All because of getting the junk out of her food!
Big Food is poisoning people, and they don’t even realize it.
I can’t even look at a box of cereal anymore without retching thinking about all that poison I ate as a kid, although it probably wasn’t as bad as they are now.
“Experts,” yawn. Whatever would we do without nutritionists and dieticians who are paid to toe the party line, and 20 years behind the times.
Best weight loss results I ever had was from breaking a leg and hauling myself around on crutches for a few months, but I wouldn’t recommend that!
Yeah, the authorette didn’t throw anything scary in there. I’m sticking to my diet...
I read a paper on this guy. His superiors at first thought only Eskimos could eat this way and survive. The anthropologist then took on the lifestyle and diet of the Eskimos. He not only survived but thrived and was able to handle a trek across the wilderness (maybe about 100 miles) to get to port to catch a ship home. I don’t think he was there for 10 years but i’m pretty sure I saved the paper and will look it up.

Excellent points, and good for all to keep in mind.
He stayed thin and hard and very energetic
Except for the car wreck he’d likely still be rather alive

Is Keto basically Atkins lowcarb? That’s always worked for me to lose weight and you can eat a balanced diet within its guidelines
It’s a topic in this film, which includes an old filmed interview with him.

Atkins is low carb. Keto even more so, with emphasis on high fat.
It depends on what you mean by "balanced".
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
No. Then you assume a healthy diet. No short term diet that works is going to hurt you over the long term.
It is only meant to use for about a year.
There is nothing in a carb that your body needs. It does fine without carbs. I can not find any medical evidence that keto is bad long term.
I’ve been keto since Jan lost 20 pounds and feel great. Staying with it until I have a reason not to.
“Augustus Owsley Stanley III ate nothing but protein essentially from aged 30 till he died mid 70s in a car wreck in frontier extreme northeast Queensland”
Not quite: More fat than protein, and the same 80/20 ratio recommended by Keto when he was younger, but yes, no carbs, at all. The REAL QUESTION is how did he manage to keep his gig with the Grateful Dead and their fans, while eating nothing but meat? Maybe secret stashes? We’ll probably never know.
“My diet is usually 60% fat and 40% protein by calories. I used to eat 80/20 when younger and about twice as much quantity of meat also, but that seems too much energy at my age, which is 71- even though I am very active.”
