Keto diet is a huge trend these days however most people are doing it wrong, that’s why they don’t succeed long-term. The first question you have to ask yourself is: Can the diet I am on be sustained for a longer period of time?
When people start keto diet they normally start with the dirty version first and see results quickly. What they do not realize is that if that do not monitor the keto with the proper knowledge it can be very dangerous.
Many people exchange their carbohydrates for high fat foods like butter, fatty burgers, cheese and bacon. Even if you like the taste of greasy foods, we all know it is not healthy by any means eating them every day all day long until the rest of your life. Many people actually believe this diet works and it’s been proven that dirty keto can increase inflammation and increase risk of chronic disease which clearly is not the ultimate goal.
One of the many mistakes people make when they start the ketogen diet is not paying attention to the quality of the fats. They only worry about the quantity of it. They are not aware of all the toxic fats on the market. Most companies are profit based. They highly process vegetable oil‘s for literally an endless shelf life. These type of vegetable oil’s are simply unnatural for the human body and can cause many health problems. They’ve been linked to inflammation cardiovascular disease and more.
Plant oils that you should avoid :
-peanut oil,
-soybean oil,
-corn oil,
-canola oil,
-sunflower oil,
-sesame oil,
-cottonseed oil.
Your body cannot produce omega-3 or 6 acid‘s which are essential it means you need to add some of them in your diet. However eating too much of them may contribute to chronic inflammation which can lead to diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and arthritis. High intake of omega-3 and six also increased risk of obesity, heart disease, arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
On another note olive oil is an excellent example of a healthy vegetable oil that’s low in omega-6 acid. It might be one of your best options.
Let’s not forget about all the dairy that keto diet followers eat in the name of adding more fat to they daily calorie intake. Unfortunately like all dairy products cheese is best avoided.
The milk from the store is usually homogenized and pasteurized which destroys the good bacteria and enzymes in it. They may also contain hormones and antibiotics given to the cowes which produced the milk.
Another really good reason to cut out the cheese is, it is really easy to over eat! The Keto diet does not restrict calories, however if you consume thousands and thousands of calories in cheese alone can definitely make you put on weight instead of losing it.
About 75% of the worlds population is unable to properly digest milk and other dairy products due to lactose and casein intolerance. Lactose intolerance can cause inflammation, bloating, authorities arthritis and joint pain, sinus and digestive issues or acne.
As with all died models, the keto diet should be rich in nutrients, -dense whole foods that not only promote fat-adoption but also keep you healthy and disease-free for the rest of your life.
Processed foods contain a lot of sodium for taste and as a preservative. It can cause bloating and water retention. Along with these you can experience dehydration , constipation and symptoms of the keto flu.
