Al-Marsad Newspaper: Clinical nutrition consultant, Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Othman, explained that whoever follows the “keto” diet and loses weight will suffer from medical problems, most notably the heart.
Fats treble
He said during an intervention with the “Yahla” program broadcast on the Gulf Rotana channel: “Many people underestimate the issue of triglycerides, in addition to the lack of fiber and vitamins. Those who use the keto diet have a deficiency in potassium, calcium and iron, and suffer from constipation and colon problems,” pointing out that Many people focus on losing weight without considering future effects.”
diet not healthy
He added, “The keto diet cannot succeed in losing weight in the future and be healthy, because nutrients must be balanced, especially in energy sources such as carbohydrates and protein, and the source of calories from fat does not exceed 30 percent.” He explained that the sources of calories from fats in the keto diet range from 70 to 80%, and the groups most affected by this diet are those who suffer from kidney and liver problems, diabetes and pregnant women.
system Keto
He added: “The keto diet is only a system for treating epilepsy patients and some cancer cases, which are specific cases. This is done under medical supervision and inside the hospital, and all family members are trained to apply this system. As for the system that exists now for weight loss and sugar control, it is not the keto system, but rather a keto-like system.” An imbalance in the elements of carbohydrates, protein, and energy sources will lead to weight loss, but the keto diet is not healthy, safe, or appropriate, and there is no accreditation from any international or local medical scientific body for weight loss or sugar control.
