-The keto diet involves having a high-fat and very low-carb diet. The carbohydrate quantity depends on each person. They could range between 20g-50g of carbs per day for a very low carb content to 50-130g per day for mild carb content. It is challenging to keep the body in ketosis; even just eating a small number of carbs, e.g., a piece of fruit, could bring someone out of ketosis.
-The keto diet is often very high in saturated fat and low in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains - all associated with reducing cardiovascular disease and bowel cancer and increased risk for early death.
- It’s essential you choose suitable fat sources. Aim to consume unsaturated fats mainly, with saturated fats kept to a minimum.
-The keto diet is incredibly restrictive and should not be used long-term. Dramatically reducing a food group that should be 50-60% of our intake can have health implications. Carbohydrates are nutritious and rich in fiber, an essential dietary component for longevity.
