The keto diet has been endorsed by famous faces and captured the minds of many health nuts, but experts say its promised weight loss is inevitably followed by a regaining of the shed pounds.
"Most health professionals are concerned that the degree of carb restriction requires someone to cut out many of the foods that have been consistently recommended as being healthy: fruits, beans/legumes and whole intact grains," said Stanford professor Christoper Gardner, who conducts research on low-carb diets at Stanford Prevention Research Center. Gardner was also a judge on the U.S. News panel of 2020 diets.
It can take several days to weeks before your body fully transitions into burning fat. In the meantime, it will scream for carbs, and will punish you by sending a zombie to suck out your brains, a vampire to drain your blood and a giant troll to jump up and down on your body. Once all that passes, keto-lovers maintain, you'll have more energy, a more focused brain, and best of all, very little hunger.
And here's a twist: You can't rely too much on lean protein to accomplish ketosis. Eat more protein than an average 20% of your daily calories and your body will use that, and not fat, for fuel. Bye bye, ketosis. Keto appears to be undergoing the same process, with some promoting "clean" keto, which focuses on using all those avocados, nuts and seeds for fat sources, instead of "dirty" keto, in which folks take the buns off their fast food burger and chow down.
"When done correctly, it can be a great tool used to treat and prevent several chronic conditions while also supporting overall health," said Axe, who is the author of "The Keto Diet: Your 30-day Plan to Lose Weight, Balance Hormones and Reverse Disease."by a health group selling ketosis diet interventions
