All your burning health questions answered by the professionals. Today, we're discussing a Keto diet, and whether it...
“I am trying to lose weight, approximately four stone and have been researching diets to help me do this. I would rather not take drugs such as Ozempic if I can do it myself. One I see come up continually as being successful is the Keto diet. I have no heart problems; my cholesterol is a little high but not high enough to be on medications.
The most effective way to successful long term weight loss is by taking small steps of lowering weight by two or three pounds each week. A goal of four stone is great, but you need to break it down to smaller goals and build up the progress slowly over time. In your case this big goal can be achieved over 16-24 weeks, by following proven steps below.
The diet consists of full fat dairy, meats, cheeses, fish, eggs, plant oils, avocado, low carbohydrates, and green vegetables. You must eat the vegetables and not stop. Doing that will deprive you of vital minerals and nutrients that your body needs to work and it may trigger heart arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation.
As the diet disrupts cholesterol and lowers blood sugar, it is not advised to use it if you are taking diabetes medicines like Ozempic without talking to your doctor. If you have exceedingly high triglycerides, previous pancreatitis, genetically high cholesterol, liver failure or are pregnant you should not go on the Keto diet.
