KETO’S POPULARITY HAS LED TO AN EXPLOSION OF “EXPERTS”
Have you ever tried researching keto diets online?
It’s a frustrating experience. Countless websites and social media influencers are talking about keto, but these self-proclaimed experts often contradict one another.
You can’t tell which of them know their stuff and which are just using big words to sound smart, or riding the keto popularity wave to sell you something you don’t need.
And oh boy do they have stuff to sell — flours, recipe books, supplements, pee sticks, and so much more.
But is their information based on a proper analysis of the science or just on a quick scan of study abstracts (if that!)? It takes a team of researchers, reading the full text of hundreds of papers, to understand the full picture.
There are simply too many ketogenic diet studies published each year for any single person — even an expert — to read them all:
Talking about keto with your friends and family isn’t any better. Just the same skeptical comments over and over …
“So, you can’t eat any carbs? Don’t you need carbs to stay alive?”
“Eating all that fat can’t be healthy. What about your cholesterol levels?”
“Keto isn’t sustainable. Everyone I know who’s tried it has fallen off and gained all the weight back.”
IS KETO SAFE AND HEALTHY, OR JUST ANOTHER FAD DIET?
We surveyed thousands of our readers, and the most common questions were fairly straightforward:
Is keto safe? What if I have a medical condition?
Are there side effects to it?
Is it good for my heart?
Can I follow it long-term (i.e., is it sustainable)?
Is it the best diet for weight loss?
Can I really eat all the bacon I want??
Two different “expert” websites may give you opposite answers to these questions, either because they have divergent agendas or simply because the content is written by one person with an incomplete understanding of the evidence.
And the answers rarely have nuance. They typically don’t address keto dieting in different situations, nor do they evaluate all the various types of keto studies.
