Ketogenic diet allows the body to distribute as much protein as possible to promote gluconeogenesis and requires minimal tissue repair. In addition, the intake of carbohydrates in ketogenic diet is extremely limited, and people usually complete ketogenic diet by reducing the intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans.
But it will also lead to the reduction of thiamine, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin b6, calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium. Therefore, ketogenic diet is likely to lead to nutritional deficiency and intestinal function damage.
Ketogenic diet distributes the total calories according to a certain proportion of fat, sugar and protein, and the fat content is 2-4 times that of sugar and protein. Ketogenic diet can also produce adverse reactions, such as diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, indigestion, dehydration, hypoglycemia and so on. This diet is complicated and expensive and can't last long.
