HEALTH REPORT
better insulin control by reducing blood sugar spikes, and so have a beneficial preventive effect on metabolic disorders associated with too-high insulin. The jury is out on the diet’s effect on mood and energy levels: some followers claim to feel more alert and less lethargic, but others report fatigue. There are also mixed reports about keto’s benefits or otherwise on cholesterol - some say that eating low- carb helps boost HDL (‘good’) cholesterol, while others say the opposite is the case, due to the meat-intensive nature of the diet. Like any other diet, while ketosis may reduce appetite, eliminating an entire food group is a major dietary change which some people may find difficult to adapt to. For example, many common combination foods are eliminated, such as pizza (because of the crust) and sandwiches (because of the bread). Keto also limits most fruits due to the fructose content, as well as starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn and most alcohol, with the exception of dry wine and unflavoured clear liquor, such as gin and vodka. Apart from making it difficult to choose food to eat when dining out, you
may simply have the type of personality that does not do well with restrictions and limitations. Some people find the metabolic changes that result from the keto diet uncomfortable. Carbohydrate cravings, for example, may or may not disappear with time. Headaches can occur and so can nausea and bad breath, because the liver and gallbladder may take a while to adapt to the new dietary
regime. The lack of fibre may lead to constipation, while the reduced intake of fruit and vegetables may lead to deficiencies in certainnutrients.
