The ketogenic diet is a low-carb dietary approach that has exhibited contradictory results in human health. The keto diets nutrient composition comprises of low carbohydrate, moderate protein, and high fat. This macronutrient composition ignites a state of ketosis (the production of ketone bodies) in the body. The ketone bodies serve as an alternate source of energy in the absence of glucose.
The benefits of keto diet have been well-established in seizure management. Drug-resistant epilepsy individuals have benefited from at least a 50% reduction in the frequency of seizures.
In recent years, the keto diet has been studied for health conditions like insulin sensitivity, weight loss, alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, cancer, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and liver disease. However, some controlled studies have shown that low carbohydrate diets are no more effective than any other calorie-restricted diets. Different types of keto diets are available and are tailored based on the individuals health condition and nutrient requirements.
Long-term adherence to such low-carb diets has shown negative health effects. Some of the effects include decreased bone mineral density, cardiomyopathy, anemia, nephrolithiasis, and neuropathy (1✔✔Trusted Source Ketogenic Diets and Chronic Disease: Weighing the Benefits Against the Risks
