The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, very-low-carbohydrate eating plan that aims to bring about weight loss by causing your body to enter a state of fat-burning ketosis. Although it’s become popular during the past decade or so as a weight loss strategy, it was originally designed 100 years ago as a way to reduce seizures in people with epilepsy.
The ketogenic diet was initially developed in the 1920s to mimic the metabolic effects of fasting for treating epilepsy. It has since shown benefits for a variety of metabolic, oncologic, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric disorders through mechanisms like improving mitochondrial function and ATP production. Common indications for the ketogenic diet include epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, traumatic brain injury, autism, and depression. Side effects can include low-level acidosis, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies.
A ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that shifts the body's metabolism away from glucose and towards ketone bodies. It has been used to treat epilepsy, cancer, Alzheimer's, and other diseases. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. This makes it an effective treatment for cancer since cancer cells cannot use ketones for energy. In addition to weight loss, the ketogenic diet provides more energy and fewer side effects than chemotherapy or radiation. It is becoming a popular alternative treatment option.

A ketogenic diet involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat to induce a metabolic state called ketosis where the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This can help reduce blood sugar and insulin levels and cause significant weight loss, especially from the abdominal area. To enter ketosis, one must limit net carbs to 20-50 grams per day by eating foods low in carbs like meat, fish, eggs, non-starchy vegetables, nuts and seeds, and high-fat dairy while avoiding foods high in carbs like grains, fruits, legumes, and sugar. Benefits of a keto diet include reduced appetite, weight loss, improved cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and reduced risk

Prepared from the chapter of MNT of CVD from Krause's book 14 the edition 2017 as well as some part from " Modern Nutrition in health and disease" 11th edition.
The presentation provided an overview of the ketogenic diet, including:
- Defining the ketogenic diet and how it works to produce ketone bodies and treat epilepsy.
- Discussing various ketogenic diet protocols like the classic ketogenic diet, MCT oil diet, Modified Atkins Diet, and Low Glycemic Index Treatment Diet.
- Outlining the clinical pathway for initiating and monitoring the ketogenic diet therapy for epilepsy.
- Noting potential side effects, challenges, and nutritional inadequacies of maintaining the restrictive ketogenic diet long-term.
The presentation aimed to educate on the science and evidence behind using ketogenic diets to treat chronic diseases like obesity and type 2
A ketogenic diet focuses on high fat and low carb intake to induce a metabolic state called ketosis. When in ketosis, the body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. Three main types of ketogenic diets are standard ketogenic, cyclical ketogenic and targeted ketogenic. A ketogenic diet can help with weight loss and improve health markers for diabetes by reducing insulin resistance. Potential side effects include keto flu but can be minimized by supplementing electrolytes.

The document discusses the ketogenic diet, which is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet used to treat intractable epilepsy. It aims to decrease seizures by putting the body into a state of ketosis. The diet has shown to be effective in reducing seizures in 38% of patients after 3 months compared to 6% of control patients. It can be implemented as a classical 4:1 or 3:1 ratio diet, or as a medium chain triglyceride diet, with no difference in efficacy between the two. Strict monitoring of growth, blood tests, seizures and ketone levels is needed when a patient is on the ketogenic diet.
The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low carb, high fat diet that offers many health benefits.
In fact, many studies show that this type of diet can help you lose weight and improve your health.
Ketogenic diets may even have benefits against diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that has been used since the 1920s to treat intractable childhood epilepsy. It works by increasing ketone body production which is thought to have anti-seizure effects. A randomized controlled trial in 2008 found that 38% of children on the ketogenic diet experienced at least a 50% reduction in seizures, compared to only 6% of children in the control group. Common side effects include kidney stones and slowed growth in young children on the diet long-term.
The document discusses low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets and their role in weight loss. It explains that low-carb diets induce ketosis, using fat and protein for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This leads to initial rapid weight loss from water loss. Long-term weight loss is achieved through fat loss if the diet is nutritionally complete and exercise is maintained. However, very low carb intake may cause side effects like increased uric acid and decreased cognitive function if not medically supervised long-term.
This presentation deals with the various approaches of medical nutrition therapy in Diabetes, comparison of the ADA, RSSDI and ICMR guidelines. It also talks about the various calorie counting apps as well.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose due to defective insulin production or action. There are two main types - type 1 involves little insulin production requiring injections, while type 2 involves ineffective insulin typically affecting overweight adults. Diabetes prevalence is increasing worldwide including 9.3% of Americans and 7.1% of Indians, with complications including damage to eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels if not controlled. Diagnosis involves tests of blood glucose levels after fasting and meals.

The document discusses carbohydrate utilization during exercise. It states that carbohydrates should make up 60-70% of an athlete's daily energy intake to fuel exercise and prevent fatigue. Carbohydrates are used aerobically during endurance exercise and anaerobically during high-intensity exercise through glycogen stores in the liver and muscles. Insufficient carbohydrate intake can lead to hypoglycemia during long-duration exercise when glycogen runs low.
This document provides information on diet counselling for reducing obesity risks. It defines obesity as excessive body fat accumulation of at least 20% higher than ideal weight. Obesity is a serious health issue that increases risks of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Dietary treatments for obesity include low-calorie diets, meal replacements, very low-calorie diets, and consideration of macronutrient composition, portion size, energy density and satiety. Behavioral changes like eating at set meal times and preparing more home-cooked meals can also help reduce risks of obesity.
This document discusses carbohydrate counting for managing diabetes. Carb counting involves following a meal plan that specifies grams of carbs per meal and snack, and using an insulin-to-carb ratio to determine insulin dosage. For those with type 1 diabetes, carb counting helps control blood sugar levels. Those with type 2 diabetes also need to count carbs to control portions and support weight loss through a balanced, limited sugar diet with regular physical activity. Common carb foods are listed along with serving size guidelines to estimate grams of carbohydrates from labels.
Are you Struggling to Control of your Diabetes and Weight?
People who are overweight or obese are more prone to developing Type 2 diabetes. Those who have Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes with weight problems struggle to control their blood sugar levels. Research shows that people with diabetes find it more difficult to lose weight than those without diabetes.
Weight loss significantly improves blood sugar control and also reduces the risk of getting complications from diabetes. However, whilst attempting to lose weight, people with diabetes find it hard to restrict their intake of food since eating less may trigger hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). All these facts explain the need for specialist input in management of weight in people with diabetes.

A ketogenic diet to lose weight and fight metabolic diseasehananenina5
Obesity and metabolic diseases are major health problems worldwide.
In 2016, obesity affected 13% of adults globally.
Obesity is a risk factor of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high waist-to- hip ratio, and low HDL (good) cholesterol.
To combat this, many diets have emerged, including the ketogenic diet, in which a person consumes a very limited amount of carbohydrates. Some research suggests this diet may have benefits for people with obesity.
However, some experts have questioned the health benefits of the keto diet and called for more research. While it may help you lose weight, there may also be complications.
This article explains how the keto diet may help people lose weight and manage metabolic disease. It also discusses some of the possible drawbacks.

The keto diet is very low in carbs, moderate in protein, and high in fat, which puts the body into a state of ketosis where it burns fat for energy instead of carbs. Potential benefits include weight loss, reduced seizures, lower risk of disease, and more. However, the diet requires restricting carbs to 20-50g per day, getting adequate sodium to avoid keto flu, and cycling on and off the diet long-term for safety. People with certain medical conditions should check with their doctor before starting.
A Keto diet recipe e-book is a digital collection of recipes that are designed to support the Ketogenic diet. The Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that aims to shift the body into a state of ketosis. The e-book typically contains a variety of delicious and healthy recipes, ranging from breakfast to dinner, snacks, and desserts, that are low in carbs and high in healthy fats. These recipes often feature ingredients like avocado, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, and low-carb vegetables. The e-book may also include tips on how to prepare meals that are both delicious and nutritionally balanced to help you achieve your health and wellness goals while following the Keto diet.
although ketogenic diet has been around for almost a century, it
is rapidly gaining popularity today. There is a reason why keto is
so highly regarded. It’s not a fad diet. It actually works, and it has
tremendous health benefits in addition to weight loss. When on
the keto diet, you are feeding your body exactly what it needs,
while eliminating toxins that will slow it down.
The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet that forces the body to burn fat rather than carbs for energy. It restricts carbs to 20-50g per day to induce ketosis. Potential benefits include weight loss, reduced sugar spikes, and improved blood pressure and diabetes control. Side effects may include keto flu symptoms in the first week as the body adjusts. Long term safety is still being studied, but it can cause nutritional deficiencies if not properly planned. The keto diet may be a viable short-term weight loss option for some, but consultation with a doctor is recommended.
The keto diet is a low carb, high fat diet that puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. It involves drastically reducing carb intake and replacing it with fat to lower blood sugar and insulin levels and shift metabolism away from carbs and toward fat and ketones. Several versions of the keto diet exist, but the standard version is the most researched and recommended. Entering ketosis requires limiting carbs to 20-50g per day through diet and intermittent fasting. Potential benefits include weight loss, improved blood sugar control for diabetes, reduced risk factors for heart disease and cancer, and better management of neurological conditions like epilepsy.
The document discusses the ketogenic or keto diet, which is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. It aims to put the body into a state of ketosis, burning fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. Potential benefits include weight loss and reduced appetite. Side effects in the initial period can include nausea, headaches and fatigue as the body adjusts. Long term risks include nutritional deficiencies and increased cholesterol levels if unhealthy fats are consumed regularly. The diet may be an effective short-term weight loss option for some, but requires commitment and is not suitable for all individuals or health conditions without medical supervision.
2. Gaining traction in recent years, the keto diet—also known as the ketogenic diet—is a popular weight loss
plan. It gets its name from ketosis, a metabolic process that occurs when your body burns fat rather than
carbohydrates.
What Is the Ketogenic Diet?
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, very-low-carbohydrate eating plan that aims to bring about weight loss by
causing your body to enter a state of fat-burning ketosis. Although it’s become popular during the past
decade or so as a weight loss strategy, it was originally designed 100 years ago as a way to reduce seizures
in people with epilepsy.
The keto diet not only promises weight loss, but also claims to reduce hunger and help balance blood sugar.
However, it can be a difficult protocol to follow. “One of the cons of the keto diet is that it has very strict
rules,” says Melissa Majumdar, a certified specialist in obesity and weight management and a bariatric
coordinator at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta. “I don’t know anybody who would be able to
follow this diet for a long period of time.” It’s also risky for people with certain health conditions.
A keto diet is low enough in carbs and protein and high enough in fat to force the body to burn stored fat
instead of consumed carbohydrates for energy. To trigger ketosis, a diet typically must contain a maximum
of only 50 grams of carbohydrates per day. (A slice of whole-wheat bread, for example, contains about 15
3. grams of carbohydrates, and a medium banana contains about 29 grams of carbohydrates.) Overall,
carbohydrates contribute fewer than 10% of calories in a keto diet. The remainder comes from fat (70% to
80% of daily calories) and protein (about 10% of daily calories or about ½ gram per pound of body weight).
What Is Ketosis?
Your body prefers to burn glucose-containing carbsfor energy. When carbohydrate-sourced glucose is not
available, your body burns fat instead. To use fat for energy, your liver converts fat to substances known as
ketones and burns those instead of glucose. When this process occurs, your body is in a state of ketosis.
Because your body prefers to burn glucose rather than fat, it may resist shifting into ketosis and will not do
so unless you adhere strictly to carbohydrate and protein limits. It can take a few days, sometimes longer, to
achieve a state of ketosis, and you must continue to limit carbohydrates and protein strictly in order to stay in
ketosis. “If you don’t follow the rules, you go out of ketosis,” says Majumdar, who is also a registered dietitian
and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
4. Types of Keto Diets
Various types of diets call themselves keto diets. However, some would be more accurately described as
“keto-ish” or low-carb diets because they’re too high in carbohydrates to induce ketosis regularly. True keto
diets are very low in carbohydrates, high in fat and moderate in protein.
Well-known keto-style diets include the Atkins and South Beach diet. Other low-carb diets may claim to be
keto diets, but unless they include fewer than 50 grams of carbohydrates daily and only a moderate amount
of protein, they may not induce ketosis reliably. In addition to limiting carbohydrates, you have to make sure
you avoid eating too much protein as well, because protein can interfere with ketosis.
Keto Diet Foods
The best foods for the keto diet are those high in fat, low in carbohydrates and moderate in protein, such as:
● Avocados
● Eggs
● Fats, including oils like olive, palm and coconut, as well as butter and lard
● Fish and shellfish
● Low-carb, non-starchy vegetables, such as leafy greens
5. ● Meat and poultry
● Cheese
● Nuts
● Olives
● Seeds
● Berries in very limited amounts (¼ cup), because they contain carbohydrates, although fewer than
other fruits

The main health benefits of a keto diet can include:
Weight Loss
Some people do find that a keto diet helps them lose weight. However, what works for one person may not
work for another. A comprehensive review of scientific evidence published in 2019 in the Journal of Clinical
Lipidology looked at the effect of low-carbohydrate and very low-carbohydrate diets like keto on body weight
and other factors. It found that keto-style diets are no better than other types of diets, such as low-fat diets,
at bringing about long-term weight loss.
Less Hunger
There is some evidence that keto-type diets reduce hunger, according to the 2019 Journal of Clinical
Lipidology review. The effect may be due to a shift in hunger hormones, such as ghrelin and leptin, as well
as insulin. “The high fat content of the keto diet may also be satiating,” Majumdar says.
Blood Sugar Control
8. Eating fewer carbohydrates can lead your pancreas to secrete less insulin and can lower your blood sugar.
This response can be helpful for people with prediabetes, insulin resistance or diabetes. “However, similar
results have been shown with other kinds of diets that are easier to follow,” Majumdar says. What’s more,
simply cutting down on carbohydrates (rather than drastically reducing them) can often improve blood sugar
control, too.
Lower Triglycerides
The keto diet may cause a drop in triglycerides, a type of fat found in your blood. High levels of triglycerides
can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. However, this reduction doesn’t hold up over time. A 2020
review in the journal Cureus found that while the keto diet led to decreases in triglycerides, as well as blood
pressure, during the first six to 12 months after starting a keto diet, those effects disappeared after 12
months.
Risks of a Keto Diet
High Saturated Fat
Most keto diets are high in foods that contain saturated fat, such as meat, butter, palm oil and coconut oil.
Saturated fat can raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which increases heart disease risk. The American Heart
9. Association recommends limiting saturated fat to 5% to 6% of daily calories, or about 13 grams per day. (A
4-ounce hamburger patty contains 7 grams of saturated fat, and 1 ounce of cheddar cheese contains 6
grams of saturated fat.) Some studies even found an increase in all-cause mortality (death from various
causes) in people following keto-type diets.
Poor Diet Quality
Because the keto diet leaves out or limits entire groups of healthy foods, such as most fruit, some types of
vegetables, legumes, whole grains and dairy, it may not provide all the nutrients you need. “And because it
tends to be low in fiber, it can cause constipation,” Majumdar says.
Health Risks
The keto diet may pose risks for people with various health conditions, including high blood pressure, heart
disease, disordered eating, diabetes or kidney disease, according to Majumdar. “This is not a diet that
individuals with any type of health condition should be doing on their own,” Majumdar says. “They should be
followed by a medical professional or dietitian who can monitor them.”
Side Effects of a Keto Diet
10. Keto diet proponents tout the benefits of ketosis-fueled fat burning as a way to rid the body of excess stored
fat. However, shifting fuel sources from glucose to fat can cause various unpleasant symptoms. According to
Majumdar, ketosis symptoms, which are sometimes referred to as “the keto flu,” may include:
● Brain fog
● Confusion
● Constipation
● Dizziness
● Headache
● Irritability
● Loss of energy
● Mood swings
● Muscle cramps
● Nausea
● Trouble sleeping
● Vomiting
11. These symptoms usually subside after your body adjusts to being in ketosis. “But if you go out of ketosis,
you may experience those symptoms again when you go back into ketosis,” Majumdar says.
Pro tip: A benefit of the keto diet is that it can help reduce your added sugar intake. But you don’t have to
follow a keto diet to accomplish this feat, Majumdar says. Cut back on the sweet stuff by reading food labels
and limiting or avoiding foods with added sugar. The American Heart Association recommends limiting
added sugar to no more than 36 grams per day for men and 25 grams for women.
