The biggest issue is that many people who do this diet to lower their fasting glucose possibly are unaware that in some people, their A1C will start to go up. Need to monitor your labs --a1C relfects approx. 2-3 months of what the blood sugar is doing; fasting is a snapshot of that morning.
As for weight loss, the body will initially rid itself of water with the keto diet, but long term, the weight loss will stabilize and introducing carbs will allow the body to retain water...reflects the scale not your actually body mass.

Here's another take on the Keto diet. www.nytimes.com/2020/01/02/style/self-care/keto-diet-explained-benefits.htmlI'm not pro or con Keto. A proper Keto diet requires a strict adherence to fat, protein, and carb allowances. In addition to being a treatment for epilepsy, it is being used with cancer patients and with people who have memory issues and those with a family history of memory issues. My doctor advises her patients who want to try it to work with a nutritionist. My limited experience with it was with one of my personal chef clients with cancer who was on a Keto diet. It's not as simple as a lot of people make it out to be. |

Yes! and there is more fat intake involved than protein but most keto-dieters focus on no to low carbs and higher protein.

I think a lot of people started doing the Keto diet. I didn’t really do serious research on it, but that’s because I’m not interested in trying it, although I’m a vegetarian. I heard though that one of my friends tried it out for three months and it was pretty difficult for her, especially at the beginning. So, I think you should definitely inform yourself about the whole process before starting, you might be shocked how hard it is. However, I know for a fact that there are a lot of food options to choose from when you’re on this diet. I heard dietmenus.com has a lot of great choices, and not only for this diet, but whatever healthy preferences you have. |

I read a lot about keto before I tried it. Because I always do, I need a lot of information. The reviews are so different that I realized that until I try it, I will not know anything. It's not recommended for everyone, there are contraindications, so just research all the information.
