Oh, boy.
Short answer: It’s an extreme band-aid for a problem borne of matters so convoluted that most people subconsciously use confirmation bias to avoid.
Additionally, keto originated from a treatment for children with seizures and there is prolific evidence of the damage wrought by long term adherence to what ought be only a short term endeavor, as opposed to a lifestyle (for which the “industry” has evolved the fad).
Unfortunately, I must now revert back to paragraph one…
And yet, you fail to post a single link to it. And if you did, we would be treated to some junk science study worthy of a D if it was turned in to a middle school science class.
So far every single anti-keto person I have encountered has either been a big pharma shill or a vegan extremist.
After trying keto I now see every big carb meal as a big steaming pile of regret.
Well, my adult son has been controlling his seizures through keto for years now, and still going strong. It isn’t just a child thing. His neurologist has many adults controlling their epilepsy this way, even seniors.
My husband has been on keto/carnivore diet for 6 years now. He has his blood work checked every 6 months and has ideal numbers. His doctor thought keto was a fad diet but now tells my husband to keep up what he’s doing. He has been tested for mineral deficiencies, artery plaque, etc., and has none.
This was the only thing that fixed his bad cholesterol too. He has less inflammation, allergies, more clarity, and stopped snoring.
He does walk 2 miles a day, but did that pre-keto.
I have seen remarkable results from friends doing this lifestyle as well.
You should cite your “prolific evidence” here. There is an overwhelming amount of research now in favor of keto.
