...about keto vs. gluten-free
Reasons why I think the ketogenic diet should not be used as a long-term lifestyle change:
eliminating an entire food group can be jolting to your metabolism, as mentioned in National Geographic Magazine article The Next Green Revolution . A great read if you’re into historical food facts;
mental health issues can pop up or become exasperated due to the severe limitations and restrictions it can pose on a person;
Long term effects: Harvard Health Publishing article on the ketogenic lifestyle and if it is heart healthy seem to echo’s what I mention in this podcast about dangers to your health long-term with this diet. Initially, keto can be great for quick weight loss but the long-term sustainability of this diet proves to be too difficult for reliable data to be gathered.
