How to know if the Keto Diet is right for me?

(Mia) #1

Hello, I am new here, been doing some research about the Keto diet and ran into this article today. I was going to start Keto this week but now not sure and have my doubts about its safety, side effects, etc. What are your thoughts? :scream::scream::scream: https://goo.gl/9tgcdE

We are all here because we don’t believe the crap floating around on the internet. I’ve dont enough research and watching videos from Dr.Berry nobody can change my mind on this being a great lifestyle not to mention when I noticed how much better I feel that indicated to me that what I was doing before was definitely doing more harm than good .

You need to read enough to educate yourself about it and make your own decisions.

Here are a few resources to get you started:

Feel free to read the web sites that say it’s just another fad diet and the only reason that it works is that all diets work and only do so because they result in calorie restriction. Helps to look at all sides of the topic and decide for yourself.

Worst you could do is try several and see what works. Try the Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, and a ketogenic diet for a couple of months each and see which one you like best, which gives you good results, and (most importantly) which one you can stick to as a lifestyle change and not just a “do this until I lose 30 pounds then go back to what I did before so I gain it all back.”

Someone else wanting to sell books & dvds is all I heard, couldn’t make it to the end.

You can only know if it is right for you by trying it. Read the Show Me the Science subfourm to learn about how it all works. Also read the thread Conditions Keto can heal or cure to learn what has happened for others.

Good luck on sorting yourself out. My answer was KETO, then LC/HF + fasting. But we are all different just see how it goes.

My obesity/bariatric physician PUT me on this plan/way of eating. I sure wasn’t losing weight and getting healthy eating low fat and high sugar.
