Pros and Cons of Keto Diet

       PROS AND CONS OF KETO DIET

The Ketogenic diet is considered to be an excellent means of losing weight and it is attributed to weight loss as it is known to get spectacular results.

First and foremost, the goal of the Keto diet is to get your body into a state of Ketosis. The simple technique used in the Keto diet is that the body is not allowed any carbs. During this state, the body uses fats stored in the body as a source of energy  (in the absence of carbs). which puts it into a state of ketosis.

During this state, the body uses fats stored in the body as a source of energy  (in the absence of carbs). This leads to excessive weight loss. During Ketosis your body burns fat 24X7.  In this way, you can eat other healthy foods apart from carbs, thereby allowing you to lead a healthy lifestyle without being starved.

Losing weight with the Keto diet also includes lowering your blood insulin.  Insulin is a fat-storage hormone, so when insulin level drops your body goes from the storage of fat to the burning of fat, and the first thing that happens is weight loss.

But it all depends on you and how you maintain this diet.  There are critics who say it all depends on how the Ketogenic diet adapts to your body.  When you understand the diet well, you can reduce any potential risks that are associated with it.  

Cons:

• Low carbs is not necessarily good for the body. It could result in less energy

• Can  cause nutrient deficiencies and constipation

• You might not get enough sugar. In the absence of carbohydrates, sugar cannot enter the bloodstream causing you to feel low in energy.

• The diet may have negative effect on heart health as most of the foods are high on saturated fats and meat.

• At the onset of the Keto diet, you are likely to get the 'keto flu' which will cause you to feel fatigued, low in energy, irritability, nausea, constipation etc.

• The real disadvantage is the unbalanced diet. As all carbohydrates are excluded, a process is artificially triggered, and not so active, and as a result, the load on the liver is increased. This is quite unhealthy

Pros:  

• Effective for weight loss 

• Known to be beneficial for diabetics (in certain cases) and also for Alzheimer's

• Reduces seizures in epileptics

This diet can help you lose any kind of fat provided you keep your carbohydrate intake low. You can solve problems of belly and fat thigh fat. If you eat too many carbohydrates you will not achieve Ketosis. If you have any carbohydrates, there is a sharp rise in blood sugar, and there will be a pause in Ketosis. This is because the diet forces the body to burn fat in the absence of carbohydrates. 

According to nutritionists, the diet has proven to be effective with spectacular results, and the result is stable. The real disadvantage is the unbalanced diet. As all carbohydrates are excluded, a process is artificially triggered, and not so active, and as a result, the load on the liver is increased. This is quite unhealthy.
