Dr. Stephen Phinney on Nutritional Ketosis and Ketogenic Diets (Part 1)
I have been on the keto diet for many years and it not only helps keep the weight off, it improves cholesterol, reduces blood pressure, keeps blood sugar in check, etc.
The science behind keto is profound and it has gained an increasing following (belatedly) in the medical community.
As an aside, I still eat a wide variety of vegetables and have found that they don't knock me off ketosis if I don't pig out on the starchier ones.
Thanks, just found out I am pre-diabetic and diabetes runs in our family. Dr. wants me to be on a low-carb, low sugar diet. I had tried one of the “medical-weight” loss type plans that worked extremely well years ago while I ate their food. Once I reached my target weight and I was free to eat anything, my weight crept back up.
I’m hopeful this will give me the opportunity to use everyday foods rather than the specialty stuff that doesn’t help long term and is expensive to boot.
