The ketogenic diet can put your cardiovascular health at risk

Keto Diet

  • Recent research challenges the long-term benefits of ketogenic diets, suggesting potential negative impacts on cardiovascular health
  • Your body has a metabolic switch called the Randle cycle, which chooses to burn either glucose or fat for energy. Being aware of this switch can help optimize your diet to use the ideal energy choice, which is glucose
  • Short-term keto can be beneficial for metabolic flexibility and weight loss, but long-term keto may lead to health issues and increased cardiovascular mortality risk
  • Increasing your carbohydrate intake, particularly from ripe fruits, may improve blood sugar levels and aid weight loss, even with higher overall calorie consumption
  • Balancing macronutrients is crucial — 15% to 30% fat, 15% protein and the rest from carbs, with pulp-free fruit juices recommended as a transitional carb source
