The heart of the teacher talk about fitness.

Low-carbon diets for weight loss and ketogenic diets for weight loss are the more popular ways of losing weight in the last few years, and the results are indeed very good in the short term, but the long-term effects and the impact on health are not so rosy.

As for the ketogenic diet must be done, is in the implementation of the process of medical supervision, good security. Because in the ketogenic diet process, the body will produce a large number of ketone bodies, will lead to the entire internal environment is acidic, although the human body has a perfect acid-base neutralization mechanism, but can not hold a constant stream of acid generation ah. Once the rate of ketone body generation is higher than the rate of the body cleanup, it will be gathered in the body to a certain concentration will produce ketoacidosis, this is very dangerous: such ketoacidosis is a chain cycle, will break out in a short period of time, so that people go into shock, and even die soon. So ketoacidosis is also a medical emergency, in the treatment of some diseases is a situation that requires close attention to avoid.

And when carbohydrate intake is severely insufficient, while a large number of ketone bodies generated, the brain can only rely on the metabolism of ketone bodies for energy supply, and a large number of ketone bodies into the brain, it will be its acidity will poison the nervous system, resulting in neurological damage. And once the nervous system is injured, there is no chance of repair.

So, when you are on a ketogenic diet, you need to be medically supervised and keep an eye on the concentration of ketone bodies in your body to avoid accidents.

Before answering this question, let's first understand what a ketogenic diet (keto diet) is. Ketogenic diet refers to a diet that is high in fat (70%-75%), moderate in protein (20%-27%), and low in carbohydrates (3%-5%). To implement a ketogenic fat loss diet is best done under the guidance of a professional, because many people are on a "fake ketogenic diet" where the ratio of the three major nutrients to energy is not reasonable.

The ketogenic diet is a clinical treatment designed to alleviate epilepsy in children, and in recent years research has suggested that it may also be useful in diseases that involve necrosis of nerve cells.

Studies show that the ketogenic diet to lose weight is not scientific. While a ketogenic diet may result in faster weight loss in a short period of time, it may have more significant side effects, such as diarrhea, fatigue and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Personally, I feel that a good diet combined with planned fitness is the best way to lose fat.
