New year, new dieting craze. The ketogenic diet is the latest in popular diets in the US. It shares many similarities with the Atkins diet; it’s low-to-no carbs, some protein, and a lot of delicious fat.

The keto diet isn’t exactly new. It’s been used to treat epilepsy since the 1920s, and it’s had promising outcomes from treating Type 2 Diabetes. However, epilepsy and diabetes aren’t the only reason people give the ketogenic diet a try. It’s also used as a diet for weight loss. The diet banishes most carbs, including fruit, and opts-in for fatty foods like avocados, salmon, eggs, cheese, butter, oil, and the holy grail of fatty meats — bacon.

Unfortunately, science has not yet proven the keto diet to be the miraculous cure to losing weight, that some kept devotees claim it to be. The more extreme a diet, the harder it is to adhere to, and though the diet may be beneficial to some, that does not mean it will work for all who give it a try.

  1. Keto diet plus exercise is just the best, I don't even follow a keto diet, kinda of… Took the keto diet and made some changes for myself, plus jumping cord for 10-15 mins a day and I have managed to lose weight really fast, plus and appetite has decreased severely, have dropped around 25 pounds since December 2022 until now April 2023.

  2. Keto is not really for weight loss, it’s for healthier living. You might want to update this. Also, please see impact of ketogenic diet in slowing/reversing aging and age-related diseases. Btw, the argument at the end that because it’s not easy to stick to, doesn’t mean it’s not good or not worth doing.

  3. Just thought i would come back here to let you all know this definitely does work and is an amazing diet,

    People don’t really share there stories when it goes well and tend to not return to the comments so I thought i would let you know,

    Keep going guys!

  4. The more carbs you eat the more water your body holds onto which lead to a more Bloated , Puffy , Sloppy looking body. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. High sodium also does this too so you have to make sure you drink at least a gallon of water a day to flush all of the excess water weight from the sodium.

  5. 📖✝️🙏💞💖😭Dear HeavenlyFatherGod, I know that I am a sinner and I ask you to please forgive my sins. I believe in my heart that Jesus is your Son; that He died for me on a cross and you raised Him back to life. Jesus, I declare that you are my Lord and I open my heart to you.
    In Jesus’s Name, I pray,Amen "💗❤

    ❤💕💞This Gospel message if you continue to believe this message, you will be saved: For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time,

  6. All diet and fasten system got one thing in common which is eliminating sugar (nature made and mad man) intakes which found in carbs and fruits naturally. I usually stay away from hybrid food (lack of nutrition) and dairy products because it help generation mucus.
