Keto is everywhere; it's the new buzzword, the new favorite among those looking to shed
pounds, and the new hate victim of the food-pyramid-spouting-eat-your-whole grains
mainstream medical industry. The keto diet, while it is not the magic cure-all for every single
disease on the planet, does a pretty dang good job at being the potential causer of healing many
horrible conditions. So let's cut through the science, separate fact from fiction, and look at the
benefits of the keto diet.
Benefit #1: Weight Loss
Okay, so this one isn't so astounding, but it is one of the most common reasons people embark on
the keto diet. So why is weight loss usually so easy on the ketogenic diet instead of other regular
diets? For all of the following reasons:
• The keto diet is composed of approximately 75% fat, 20 % protein, and 5% or less
carbohydrates. The high fat content and lack of sugar means diminished cravings, lack of
blood sugar swings and binges, and increased satiation. Increased satiation=eating less.
Many people also have food sensitivities to grains, even gluten-free ones, so eliminating
them may lead to an increased ability to absorb minerals like magnesium and potassium,
which in turn means your body is more nourished and you have fewer cravings
• Ketones. When your blood sugar is running low, your body turns to its glycogen stores
for energy. Typically glycogen stores house about 2000 calories of "backup" energy for
when you run out of glucose. Like the intelligent machine it is, your body depletes the
glycogen stores and then turns to your own body fat for fuel.
IMPORTANT: The ketogenic diet is not a free-for-all eat however much cheese or super low-
carb fat bomb treats you want diet. If you are eating way more calories than you need, you will
not lose weight. So focus on keeping your diet around fatty cuts of grass-fed meat, butter, eggs,
avocados, lots of green veggies and cruciferous, and be modest with the keto desserts, dairy, and
sweets.
Benefit #2: Brain Function
A poorly functioning brain, as you may have already experienced, leads to lessened work
productivity, which in turn means an unhappy boss, lack of job satisfaction, sugar cravings for
energy, and depression. It's a horrible domino effect. The original ketogenic diet was formulated
by Dr. Russell Wilder in the early 20th century to treat epilepsy. The success rate was
phenomenal and it is still used today to treat epilepsy and other brain disorders. Research also
indicates that ketones are more efficient brain fuel than glucose. (Source:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5102124/)
Benefit #3: Potential Cancer Benefits
One study showed implementing the ketogenic diet led to a dramatically increased survival time
and slower tumor growth. (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5450454/)
