The Keto diet is a popular weight loss diet right now, and this article is a breakdown of why it may not have worked <\/p>\n\n\n\n
for you in the past, and if it\u2019s the right diet for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The keto diet has been around for decades, but has seen a recent resurgence in popularity. Next to \u201cab workouts\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
it\u2019s probably the next most trendy health and fitness topic on Google, and you won\u2019t find a personal trainer in the <\/p>\n\n\n\n
world that hasn\u2019t had clients ask about trying the Keto Diet.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the basics: The ketogenic diet is an ultra-restrictive diet where you cannot eat more than 30 grams of carbs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
per day and must eat a very high fat content. This causes your body to produce ketones, which your body can use <\/p>\n\n\n\n
as fuel.\u00a0However, It\u2019s well <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n studied that ultra-restrictive diets are pretty much guaranteed to fail at some point.\u00a0<\/strong> nsidering the keto diet or just started it, you probably rolled your eyes at that last sentence. So, let’s dive a little f<\/p>\n\n\n\n urther.\u00a0The keto diet is the wrong term, it should really be called \u201cketo lifestyle\u201d because your entire lifestyle <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n must change to support this diet. How so?\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0-You can\u2019t eat out at most restaur<\/p>\n\n\n\n ants\u00a0\u00a0-You can\u2019t eat most food served at a kid\u2019s birthday party or when hanging out with friends\u00a0-You are going to h<\/p>\n\n\n\n ave a hard time traveling anywhere without doing hours of research or bringing all your own food\u00a0-You have to push <\/p>\n\n\n\n through two weeks of \u201cketo brain\u201d (two weeks of brain fog)\u00a0-Athletic performance will be diminished except for long <\/p>\n\n\n\n duration cardio\u00a0-No pizza, burgers, or tacos (Don\u2019t tell me that your cauliflower keto pizza crust tastes like the pizza <\/p>\n\n\n\n at Naples 45 in NYC)\u00a0 Are there any advantages for fat loss over a regular diet?\u00a0No<\/strong> When compared to diets that are higher in carbs, the keto diet is just about equal in weight loss<\/strong>. All grounds <\/p>\n\n\n\n lose about the same amount of weight when people following both diets eat the same number of calories.\u00a0 If you still want to go all-in on the keto diet, great, but realize there is no \u201ctrying the keto diet\u201d because it takes you a <\/p>\n\n\n\n long time to change your lifestyle, and if you ever decide to stop, your body\u2019s hunger signals might be messed up <\/p>\n\n\n\n when adding carbs back in leading to overeating and weight gain.\u00a0 Okay, it may sound like I am bashing the keto diet a little. For certain populations, the ketogenic diet is a great tool, <\/p>\n\n\n\n and you can make the diet very healthy if you are smart about it. But for most people the time and effort needed to <\/p>\n\n\n\n be successful isn\u2019t worth it.\u00a0
