| | | | | | Hello, READ My Advice on how to lose weight and keep it off (below) What is a Keto Diet?
In the world of weight-loss diets, high-protein and low-carb have ruled for a decade. South Beach, Paleo, and Atkins diets are often considered "ketogenic" or "keto" diets.
True keto diets differ from the most popular high-protein diets because a keto diet is based on fat instead of protein. Fat supplies up to 90% of the calories in a "true" keto diet.
How Does It Work?
A keto diet is designed to force your body into burning a fuel that the liver produces from stored fat instead of using the normal sugars it derives from carbs.
This fuel from your liver is called "ketone bodies."
To force your body to use this fuel, you must eat fewer than 50 grams of carbs per DAY. (An order of French fries, for example, contains 50 grams of carbs). After a few days, your body may reach a state of "ketosis," where it is creating and burning ketone bodies. However, too much protein can also interfere with the process (usually limited to 75 grams per day).
Keto Risks
Recent research suggests that specific genetic markers can make a keto diet unsafe.
(Read THE KETO DIET CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE THIS GENE)
A typical person on a keto diet will eat 170 grams of fat, 50 grams of carbs, and 75 grams of protein. And yes, that is a LOT of fat! Your fruits are restricted to a few berries, and your vegetables are very limited.
This can lead to heart disease risks and nutritional deficiencies. Other potential problems are stress on your liver and kidneys, constipation, and brain fog from the low-carb diet. | | | | | | | | | | | The Problem with Keto (And Other Weight-Loss Diets)
Everyone's body is different. A diet that works for someone else may fail for you, or even damage your health.
Many patients who come to me for weight loss don't need a diet. Their weight is coming from hormones, digestive problems, or allergies.
My Advice:
Stop trying to lose weight or improve your health based on trial and error. Stop reading about some "great, new thing" on the internet and thinking, "Hey, I should try this out and see if it works!"
Honestly, what are the chances that any given product or diet would work on your particular body? Also, what does "work" mean? If you lose 10 pounds and then gain it back but now will have much more difficulty losing weight in the future, was this a "success?" | | | | | | | | | | | Printout from Heart Rate Variability Testing, shows nervous system function | | | | | | | | | Testing, An (Apparently) New Idea
I can't think of any single food, supplement, or treatment that would be appropriate for every patient I've had in the past year except for maybe clean water. Every person is unique in many ways and needs different solutions.
You might ask, "But, how can you tell specifically what I should do?"
In health care today, the concept of TESTING is almost foreign. Most treatments, supplements, and drugs are recommended on a "try it and see if it works" basis.
But if you could accurately test someone to determine what foods, supplements, diets, and treatments would be effective and safe for them—why would anyone make any decisions without testing first?
My Universal Answer
I always have the same answer when asked about diets, supplements, or treatments:
"Why don't you come in and let me test you to find out?"
After all, the only other option would be to GUESS.
So:
Why don't you come in and let me test you? | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patient Story:
The Incredible Shrinking Woman!!
I started coming to Alternative Health Atlanta because of my hot flashes and night sweats primarily. My weight and cravings for sugar and junk food were a secondary concern. After just 4 1/2 short weeks, not only have the hot flashes and night sweats lessened, I'm no longer having any food cravings at all and I've already lost 24 pounds! My friends at work are calling me the incredible shrinking woman! The SBT treatments are awesome and support that everyone at AHA gives me is making such a great difference in my life! Thank you! — C.V.
