Question

List and explain the nutrition implications associated with a ketogenic diet

Answer 1

Ans) Keto diet: The diet calls for consuming high amounts of fat, a moderate amount of protein, and a very limited amount of carbs.

- Ketosis is a normal metabolic process. When the body does not have enough glucose for energy, it burns stored fats instead; this results in a build-up of acids called ketones within the body. Some people encourage ketosis by following a diet called the ketogenic or low-carb diet.

- But long term, the keto diet could be detrimental, since cutting out carbs increases health risks and mortality over time.

- The ketogenic diet is usually something that's prescribed by a registered dietitian.
