The Last Word on Keto:<br />
Worth the Trouble?<br />
The <strong>Ketogenic</strong> <strong>Diet</strong> is a proven method for dropping weight over time and helping<br />
individuals reduce their risk of specific neuropathic disorders. Plus, it also lets you eat<br />
high-fat foods like bacon, cheeses, and oils – which is practically unheard of in the dieting<br />
world.<br />
However, many of the claims that the <strong>Ketogenic</strong> <strong>Diet</strong> can rapidly and dramatically<br />
revolutionize your health are a bit overstated.<br />
Keto advocates will often point to the diet’s ability to reduce the risk of some neurological<br />
issues as evidence of Keto’s ability to increase cognitive functioning (though this claim<br />
needs much more supporting research).<br />
And while there are a variety of studies that support the benefits of ketosis for shedding<br />
pounds, more work needs to be done on just how effective the <strong>Ketogenic</strong> <strong>Diet</strong> is in the<br />
long term. Added to that is the fact that many Keto studies show rates of weight loss that,<br />
frankly, just aren’t that impressive.<br />
What’s more, Keto can actually cause damage to<br />
internal organs like the liver and kidneys if you<br />
aren’t careful and for athletes, muscle mass may<br />
suffer as a result of the diet.<br />
Finally, the dreaded Keto flu is often enough for<br />
even the most dedicated dieters to drop this diet<br />
within the first few weeks. And considering just<br />
how grueling these symptoms can be (who wants<br />
the flu for two weeks anyway?), it really isn’t any<br />
surprise.<br />
In the end, the measurable benefits of this diet<br />
just aren’t enough to outweigh the all-toocommon<br />
problems associated with Keto.<br />
Plus, other weight loss alternatives are several<br />
times more effective at cutting belly fat and<br />
trimming up your waistline quicker and safer –<br />
without all the nasty side effects of Keto.<br />
