A ketogenic diet induces a state called ketosis. This is different from ketoacidosis, a serious condition that can happen when a person is unable to manage diabetes.
Ketosis is a natural metabolic state that may have benefits for weight loss
It may also have therapeutic effects for people with epilepsy, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions
Ketosis is likely safe for most people, especially if they follow it with a doctor’s supervision.
However, it can have some negative effects, especially at the start. It’s also unclear how a ketogenic diet may affect the body long-term.
An overview of KetoAdvance
First, it’s necessary to understand what ketosis is. Ketosis is a natural part of metabolism. It happens either when carbohydrate intake is very low (such as on a ketogenic diet) or when you haven’t eaten for a long time.
When this happens, insulin levels fall and the body releases fat to provide energy. This fat then enters the liver, which turns some of it into ketones.
During ketosis, many parts of your body are burning ketones for energy instead of just carbs. This includes your brain and muscles.
However, it takes your body and brain some time to “adapt” to burning fat and ketones instead of carbs.
During this adaptation phase, you may experience some temporary side effects.
Summary: In ketosis, parts of the body and brain use ketones for fuel instead of carbs. It can take some time for your body to adapt to this.
The low carb/keto flu
At the beginning of ketosis, you may experience a range of negative symptoms.
People often call these the “low carb flu” or “keto flu” because they resemble symptoms of the flu.
These may include:
- headache
- fatigue
- brain fog
- increased hunger
- poor sleep
- nausea
- decreased physical performance
However, the “low carb flu” is usually over within a few days.
Summary: In ketosis, parts of the body and brain use ketones for fuel instead of carbs. It can take some time for your body to adapt to this.
Ketosis is healthy and safe but is not suitable for everyone
A ketogenic diet may benefit some people, such as those with obesity or type 2 diabetes and children with epilepsy.
However, it can cause some side effects, including the “low carb flu,” leg cramps, bad breath, and digestive issues, especially in the first few days or weeks.
Experts also note that, while the diet can help you lose weight in the short term, the weight can return when you stop the diet. Many people don’t manage to stick with the diet
Finally, a keto diet may not suit everyone. Some people experience significant benefits, while others feel and perform better on a higher-carb diet.
People who are thinking of starting a keto diet should first talk to a healthcare provider who can help them decide if it’s a good option for them.
A medical professional can also help you follow the diet safely to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
Summary: A keto diet may be safe and helpful for some people, but you should check with your doctor before starting this diet.
